You can think for a long time about where the cockroaches came from in the apartment, but you cannot find the truth. They can crawl into the apartment from the garbage chute, ventilation system, from neighbors, or they can bring cockroach eggs from the street, work or from guests, while it is impossible to see them. Eggs can stick to the sole of a shoe, bag or outerwear.
Many believe that it is impossible to get rid of the mustachioed neighbors, but it is easier to move. Indeed, you can’t easily destroy cockroaches. These insects are unpretentious in food, may not eat for more than a month. They say that cockroaches are able to control their offspring: if the colony living in the apartment is large, then fewer children appear from one cocoon, and if there are few pests, for example, after processing the room, then their birth rate increases sharply.
We create intolerable conditions in the apartment for the pest
The most effective remedy for a cockroach is cleanliness in the house! Especially in the kitchen, you need to carefully ensure that there are no crumbs, no waste remains in the sink, which is preferably wiped dry overnight. In general, cockroaches like humidity and darkness, therefore light and dryness should be in the house.
Fighting with the cold
If cockroaches are already wound up in the house, then you need to act on all fronts. The most effective remedy against cockroaches is cold. Therefore, if it is winter outside, then carpets and furniture need to be taken outside for several hours, as well as open all windows and leave the apartment freezing. Insects die already at a temperature of -4-10 degrees Celsius, and if you leave the apartment with open windows and a balcony for about a day, then the "neighbors" will either die or run away. This method is a very effective means of combating cockroaches without the use of chemistry.
The basic principles of the choice of means and tactics of struggle
When washing floors in water, you can add ammonia, insects do not like this smell. All this refers to folk methods of struggle, but besides this, there are a lot of special means. Most of them have a chemical composition, so if there are children or animals in the house, then they should be used only after an unsuccessful attempt to destroy uninvited guests with folk methods.
The choice of method of struggle also depends on the type of cockroaches. There are two common types: black and red. The most effective remedy for the red cockroach is a special professional disinfection, since this species is very tenacious, and it is almost impossible to get rid of it yourself.
As for the large black cockroaches, it is not difficult to evict them. Usually there are enough folk remedies, crayons or spray. The most effective remedy for a black cockroach is ultrasonic traps. They work in a radius of 5-6 meters, ultrasound signals act on cockroaches, and they run away.
Even at the stage of planning the fight against insects, you should find the place where they came from. If from neighbors, then you need to get rid of them along with them. Otherwise, after some time, unpleasant guests will appear again. If there are cockroaches in the whole house, then all residents must disinfect. If insects emerged from the garbage chute, it is advisable not to enter the apartment in shoes and apply chemical agents and traps on the site. In ventilation, you also need to put special preparations.
In conclusion, it should be said that the most effective remedy for a home cockroach is an integrated approach in choosing funds and cleanliness in the home.
