Reviews
Unpleasant cockroaches in the apartment
Katerina, Vladivostok: “Uninvited guests appeared in the apartment - Prussians. Previously, we used the services of special services. After the specialists arrive, you have to sit outside for at least half a day, washing all the kitchen utensils and the room. Moreover, this pleasure is not cheap, but there will probably be no Prussians for at least six months. Not long ago, “uninvited guests” showed up, I decided to use a bag of “magic powder”, especially since it is not so expensive - 50 rubles. The Prussians managed to capture the entire kitchen area in a short period of time. You come in at night, and a whole horde of “barbels” crawls all over the kitchen, the ceiling, and the dishes. I got tired of looking at it, so I poured the product in places where insects accumulated. The instructions for the product indicate that the pests will disappear in a week. It only took me 1 day. The next day after treatment, the number of individuals decreased significantly. A day later, everyone disappeared. The product is miraculous, I was pleasantly surprised.”
Violetta, Murmansk: “I went to study in another city, checked into a dormitory, and it was simply infested with cockroaches! I had the temerity to bring them home, and my mother used all sorts of things to poison them, folk devices, and various crayons... everything was empty. I read on the Internet about the “Chinese poison” - they ordered it, it was delivered to us and they started persecuting us. They gradually destroyed everyone, I’m glad mom isn’t angry anymore!”
Important! Obviously, the most effective cockroach poisons are available only to professional pest control teams. For home use, you can use a wide arsenal of high-quality products that can protect your home from unwanted guests for a long time.
Fighting cockroaches
One of the reasons for the appearance of “Prussians” in an apartment is lack of hygiene. However, these unscrupulous insects often live in panel and multi-storey buildings. They travel to neighboring apartments through holes in the walls for water pipes. Homes with a garbage disposal are especially at risk. A cockroach can often be found in the kitchen.
Phenaxin powder should be sprayed behind baseboards, near the trash can, in the sink, near openings for pipes and ventilation grilles. To treat horizontal surfaces, you need to prepare a solution: dissolve 5 g of insecticide in 100 g of water. In addition to using poison, try to keep the kitchen clean and do not leave food or crumbs on the table.

Once in the body of an insect, it guarantees its death. The use of boric acid in the fight against cockroaches is based on the preparation of a special bait. To do this, take a dry or boiled egg yolk, to which a packet of boric acid is added. Then balls are rolled from the yolk and placed in all places where cockroaches were noticed.
