Effective means for destruction:

Aquafumigator smoke bombs

The Raptor company offers a universal tool for combating synanthropic insects in residential premises - aquafumigator. Set in a special jar in the middle of the room, pour water. A chemical reaction begins, resulting in toxic wet steam. It acts instantly.

Recommendations on the use of funds depending on the degree of infection of the premises

When using insecticides in a residential area, safety precautions must be observed. When working with liquid solutions, aerosols, sprays, it is recommended to protect the respiratory tract with a max, respirator. Be sure to wear rubber gloves. Animals are allowed to enter the apartment after disinfection, other people are allowed after thorough ventilation, wet cleaning. If the rules are not followed, poisoning of various degrees of intensity can occur.

To get rid of cockroaches in the apartment once and for all, it is recommended to combine several methods of struggle, depending on the degree of infection of the premises.

With severe infection, when cockroaches catch your eye even in the daytime:

  • eliminate access to water and food;
  • eliminate possible penetration routes;
  • treat the ventilation with crayons and aerosols and put a grid on it;
  • use an aquafumigator or one of the strong concentrates for professional use;
  • set traps to destroy the remaining insects.

With an average level of infection (a couple of cockroaches can be seen by going out into the kitchen at night):

  • block access to food and water;
  • check the room for cracks and cracks;
  • close the ventilation and spray;
  • process the room with gels;
  • put some traps.

If the cockroach was seen once, then in addition to "sealing" the room, closing the ventilation net and removing access to food / water, it will be enough to treat the room with gel from cockroaches or install several traps.

After the disappearance of cockroaches, it is necessary to maintain cleanliness and preventive measures.

Pros and cons of self-struggle

If the conclusion of cockroaches is carried out incorrectly, the fight lasts for years. With a weak concentration of the active substance on the treated surface, the Prussians develop immunity, after which it is much more difficult to kill them. You need to immediately take the problem seriously, use the most effective drugs, follow the instructions. Effectively, if used correctly.

If there are cracks in the walls, floor, gaps in the doorways, during disinfestation, cockroaches can escape, move to their neighbors.After a while, they will return to their former places. In order to prevent the Prussians from persecuting, you must first take care of sealing the room.

Features of the struggle in the private sector, high-rise buildings

If cockroaches are defeated in a wooden private house, you can cope with them with any chemical preparation. It is enough to decompose the poison bait or conduct a full disinsection. The risk of re-infection is minimal, if you re-treat the room after 14-20 days, leave the traps for a couple of months.

In an apartment building, getting rid of cockroaches is forever more difficult. The reason for the unsuccessful struggle in the ability of insects to get into neighboring rooms, as well as the lack of coordinated actions among residents of the house. The fight in the apartments should be carried out in parallel in all rooms.

Preventive actions

After a successful fight small cockroaches and huge Prusaks, the main task is to prevent re-infection. It is necessary to maintain order in the house, timely repair water pipes, faucets, close up cracks in the wall. For 6 months, gel baits, traps, dusts, crayons should be used. Lay out in places of possible occurrence of brown cockroaches.

Reviews

On the forums, victims leave their opinions, life hacks on the successful extermination of cockroaches in the apartment.

Gel lures are very convenient to use. Act slower, but more reliable. I noticed that females eat poison, males are indifferent to it. As the breeding process stops, the colony decreases, but the males continue to live if the females did not stain them with poison. You must either wait for natural death, or use an aerosol.

Maxim, Moscow

Of the strong concentrates, funds based on permethrin and synergists always help. Preparations with a pungent odor, but they cope with the task perfectly. Still good Regent. He is from the Colorado potato beetle, but also acts on cockroaches.

Igor, Tver

Quick effective extermination of cockroaches begins with putting order in the apartment, house, repairing cosmetic or thorough. The choice of a chemical agent depends on the degree of contamination of the room. With the right actions, insects can be removed in 1 month.

    The apartment was empty, the tenants settled there. We lived only a year. After they moved, cockroaches scattered across all apartments. Poisoned all together. They bought bulk concentrate, and then each gels, traps for himself. Quickly solved the problem, it’s good that the neighbors are all respectable. In the ill-fated apartment, the mistress also carried out pest control. We ordered Tsifoks.
