How to deal with cockroaches in an apartment

Spraying insect repellents
Professional disinfectants use professional cockroach repellents. It is unlikely that you will be able to purchase such etching preparations in a regular store. But at home you can try to use against insects:

sulfur bomb (there are several types; neighbors should be warned before use, since the device emits a pungent odor of smoke and sulfur);
cold or hot fog (a safe way to kill cockroaches, but from the point of view of ease of use, not the best);
various insecticides, including powders, crayons, aerosols, gels;
ultrasonic repellers;
folk remedies (wormwood herb, for example);
traps - purchased or homemade.

Important! The number of cockroaches will decrease if you seal all the cracks in the floor or walls, around plumbing fixtures, eliminate leaks in plumbing fixtures, if any, and wipe the sink and bathtub dry every time after use.
It is important to constantly hide food products, including cereals and pasta, in the refrigerator or put them in containers with a lid. Even a few bread crumbs left on the table after dinner can attract cockroaches.

Causes of cockroaches

It is quite obvious that the main reason for the appearance of synanthropic cockroaches is failure to comply with basic hygiene rules at home and at work. It is possible that cockroaches enter the premises through communications from neighboring premises, and it is necessary to take measures to eliminate this scourge in the area of distribution, for example, among neighbors in an apartment or office.

food base. Dishes with leftover food and water, dirty household appliances, with traces of fat and other deposits, pet food that is easily accessible to cockroaches;
leaks of water and sewerage communications. A very common problem is leaking taps, pipes, failed faucets and other plumbing fixtures. Access to clean running water is a guarantee of a stable presence of cockroaches. You will never be able to get rid of cockroaches if there is a constant source of water; in this case, the cockroach will drown from any, even the most powerful poison.
source in the next room. Professional services are able to put up so-called “barriers,” but these barriers are highly effective drugs and their service life is no more than 60 days, after which the drug ceases to act like any organic compound and the barrier ceases to act. In such cases, you will either have to constantly carry out preventive pest control of cockroaches, or resolve the issue with the owners of the adjacent premises.

What products are used for professional treatment?

During professional processing, gels, crayons and powders are not used. Most often, disinfectants (SES) use concentrated emulsions sprayed throughout the room using a spray bottle - professional chemicals against cockroaches. The TOP 5 according to the rating of popular cockroach repellents includes:

Sychlor for insects

Sipaz Super. Liquid sold in 1 liter canisters. The drug successfully copes with the destruction of cockroaches; it contains substances that are relatively safe for humans and animals. Sipaz can be used for spraying in residential areas. Average cost 3.1-3.2 thousand rubles.*
Ram. A poisonous liquid sprayed indoors helps destroy not only cockroaches, but also other insects. Suitable for use in residential areas, but animals and children must be removed from the apartment before treatment. Professional exterminators use special protective suits. Price 1 liter - 2.4-2.5 thousand rubles.*
Sychlor. A highly active drug, after using which cockroaches disappear almost immediately. Cockroach poisoning with Sichlor is carried out in residential and non-residential premises - greenhouses, basements, cellars. It is toxic, therefore, remove people and animals from the apartment or house before use. It is best if the treatment is carried out by specialists from the sanitary and epidemiological station. The cost of a 1 liter canister. — 3.7-4 thousand rubles.*
Efficient The name speaks for itself. An indispensable remedy that can be used to poison cockroaches. Dangerous for humans and pets. Use only according to the instructions and in compliance with all safety standards. The price of the drug is 2.5-3 thousand rubles.*
Fufalon is super. The drug is so effective that re-treatment may not be required. A toxic product, like any other poison, children and animals should leave the room before using it. A relatively cheap drug - the average price is 1.2-1.5 thousand rubles per liter.*

No less effective:

For-Site (5 liters of concentrate will cost 10-11 thousand rubles);
Agran (concentrate price 2.2-2.5 thousand rubles per 1 liter).*

Important! When calling the sanitary and epidemiological station and calling the exterminator, you need to ask about the name of the mixture they use. So, if in the house, in addition to cockroaches, there are other insects (lice, fleas, bedbugs), then disinfectors are warned about this, this will allow them to select a multifunctional poison that can destroy all insects. The price of what professionals have to use to poison cockroaches cannot be called acceptable. But sometimes there is no other choice.

Disinfector for cockroaches. Features and nuances of professional pest control against cockroaches

When you don’t have the energy or time to fight cockroaches on your own, you can resort to the help of specialists. The article provides recommendations for choosing methods of professional disinfestation, as well as tips for caring for an apartment before and after treatment.

Advantages and disadvantages of professional pest control for cockroaches

You will need to involve professional exterminators if all the methods you used turned out to be ineffective and you do not have the strength to fight cockroaches. Professional processing has a number of advantages:

high efficiency of the method;
additional guarantees in the form of re-processing when new individuals appear;
fights both adults and larvae;
no harm to family members and pets;
use of professional more aggressive drugs.

However, calling a SES officer also has negative sides:

disinfecting the area will cost much more than folk remedies or household chemical insecticides;
it is necessary to invite only verified services, since scammers may pose as exterminators;
the choice of truly high-quality processing is a little difficult, since all companies promise a 100% result, but in reality do not provide it;
To carry out disinfestation, preliminary preparation of the apartment is required.

Before calling a pest control service employee, consult with friends or read reviews on the Internet about a particular company.

Professional fighting methods

Modern processing is classified into several types. The preparations used are odorless and colorless and harmless to humans.

Hot fog

A special gaseous glycerin-based product is sprayed onto surfaces at a temperature of about 60 degrees with a strong and thin stream of steam, which is able to reach the most inaccessible places. The composition used destroys both adult insects and their larvae.

Cold fog

Using a special device, an effective poison against cockroaches is sprayed into the room. Destroys insects not only during spraying, but also after it. The poison remains on the upper layers of surfaces and affects new individuals.

Barrier protection

Intended as an addition to the main method of control for disinfecting cracks, outlets or ventilation. Works as a repellent barrier for new cockroaches that want to get to you from neighbors or basements.

Choosing a room treatment method

Each of the listed methods used by exterminators must be selected depending on the following factors:

Large population. To determine the degree of infestation, check how visible the signs of cockroaches are in your apartment. If pests:

They come into view only at night and one at a time, while you do not notice traces of their vital activity, which means the degree of infection is low, disinfection occurs with the help of cold fog.
You notice that as soon as you turn on the light in the room, a flock of cockroaches scatters. At the same time, you find their traces every morning. The degree of infection is medium, the room must be treated with hot fog in combination with barrier protection.
They crawl on surfaces in the apartment even during the day - the degree of infestation is high and requires immediate action in several ways simultaneously.

Room area.
Presence of children and pets. If children, people prone to allergies or pets live in the apartment, a highly effective safe product is used.
What methods have already been tried and did not bring results. Based on the analysis of the unsuccessful fight, a more aggressive substance is selected.

Taking into account all the factors, specialists independently conduct an assessment and offer the most suitable option.

Ventilation of the room after treatment

Cleaning after treatment
As soon as the exterminators leave, and this will happen no earlier than 40-50 minutes after the start of treatment, they do not enter the room and wait another 2-3 hours. After this time, open all doors and windows, ventilation openings, and turn on the fan. Experts are asking whether it is possible to wash the floor immediately after airing or whether this will have to wait another 2-3 days (the period may be extended).

While the apartment is being ventilated, sweep out all the dead cockroaches. It is best to use a vacuum cleaner. If there are tulle or curtains on the windows, they are removed and washed in hot water (temperature close to 90 degrees Celsius). This can be done before treatment, but it is better if the disinfectant also treats them, since insects can hide in the folds of the fabric and their eggs and larvae can be preserved. The floor, cabinets (inside and outside), walls, if they are painted, are washed with detergents.

What do disinfectants poison cockroaches with?

In recent years, more and more often, residents and guests of St. Petersburg who have problems with cockroaches in their apartments or other premises, as well as unsuccessful experience in dealing with them, are asking the question: What do disinfectants poison cockroaches with and why nothing happens when trying to bait cockroaches on their own. Let's figure out in order how to poison cockroaches and whether it is worth doing this without the help of professional disinfectors, in order to have an understanding of the answer to the question at its logical conclusion.

It’s worth starting with the fact that master disinfectors are trained people, primarily with experience in fighting cockroaches and other pests and parasites, as well as with appropriate education. Before poisoning cockroaches, experienced disinfectors always find out from the customer when the last time the extermination of cockroaches was carried out, what preparations were used during disinfestation, what was the result of the event, the frequency of disinfestation at the site, inspect and determine the number of cockroaches and the degree of infection of the site by insects and other pests. And only after analyzing the situation, based on knowledge and personal experience, do they decide how to poison cockroaches and what equipment to use in a given situation, taking into account all the nuances of a particular room. Disinfectors in many specialized disinfection services know and do this just like we do.

Difficulties in treating cockroaches

With the modern rhythm of life, unfortunately, many certified specialists, accountants, scientists, etc., in addition to their work associated with active brain activity and considerable physical activity, often have to think about such questions as how to poison cockroaches, how to get rid of them , spend time searching the Internet for answers to these questions. After all, many insecticides have been tried, a lot of effort and time have been devoted to finding and purchasing them, finances and nerves have been spent, but there is still no guaranteed effect. It would seem that boric acid, which has been tested for years as a guarantor of the extermination of cockroaches, for some reason no longer works on them, aerosol cans did not cope, the traps are too small for the number of these insects and their purchase takes a toll on the budget. Professional insecticides for killing cockroaches have finally appeared in stores, but there are so many of them and such a cost... that it will be very difficult for a non-professional to understand all this. Believe me, it’s not even about the popular name of the product, which is properly advertised and is on the tip of the tongue of all people interested in treating cockroaches, and not about its cost or the popularity of the manufacturer, everything is simpler here, it’s about experience and practice. After all, an ordinary person, unlike a disinfectant, encounters cockroaches not so often, and maybe even once in his life, and accordingly, methods, methods, and means for exterminating cockroaches, their purpose, composition, and action are not included in his horizons. As part of his work, the disinfector deals with most cockroach preparations and daily observes, analyzes their effect on insects and thus selects the best effective cockroach remedy to ensure their destruction. There are many names of drugs for baiting cockroaches, but it is worth considering that the toxic (active) substances from which they consist are many times smaller, and the percentage of these substances is different. You not only need to understand all this, you also need to know where, in what place, in what quantity and even at what time of year you need to use this or that means to exterminate cockroaches indoors. Disinfectors from many companies should understand this issue; the Sanitary Day service definitely has an idea about the drugs used to poison cockroaches. I would like to say that the best solution in the fight against cockroaches, fleas, bedbugs in an apartment, at work, in a restaurant or in a cafe is to call a disinfectant to carry out sanitation and calmly spend your leisure time and do your favorite work in a normal environment and comfort. Nevertheless, if your decision fell on the side of treating your apartment for cockroaches yourself, then we recommend that you additionally familiarize yourself with the material on the resistance of cockroaches and draw conclusions about the consequences that may arise if the process of poisoning cockroaches at home fails.

What to do if cockroaches don't go away

Professionals work
If cockroaches are not found even after professional treatment of the room, then there is no need to despair. The poison acts gradually. A certain percentage of insects will die immediately after spraying the substance, but many individuals will die no earlier than 1-2 weeks later. At the same time, the number of them in the apartment will increase several times by this time, which is explained by the effect of the substance on the nervous system of insects (the poison disorients cockroaches).

The treatment will have to be repeated after 2-3 weeks. This is a normal practice, based on the fact that cockroach eggs laid before treatment need exactly that amount of time for larvae to hatch.

To speed up the death of insects, use traps, powders, boric acid solution and crayons. Free kitchen surfaces are covered with adhesive tapes.

Home preparation and disinfestation

If you had to complain about cockroaches to a special service, be prepared for the fact that you will need to leave the premises while it is being treated for parasites.

After calling representatives of the sanitary service and determining the day for disinfestation, it is necessary to prepare the premises for work. First of all, it is necessary to remove all food from the surface of tables and shelves. They should move to the refrigerator, cabinets. Additionally, you can place them in plastic bags, which it is advisable to throw away after completing the treatment of the apartment.

Be sure to remove all dishes. All electronics in the house should be unplugged. The surface of the equipment that will be installed directly in the room where disinfestation is planned must be covered with oilcloth. If there is an aquarium in the apartment, then it must be tightly closed.

When preparing a living space for treatment, you will need to plug all ventilation ducts to prevent cockroaches from going to the neighbors. It is important to stop their escape so that the parasites do not come to you again in a week. Pets will need to be removed from the apartment. Of course, before treating the premises with a disinfection service, both children and adults will need to leave it for a while.

Initially, the room will be treated near the bathroom and kitchen, where cockroaches most often come to live. Typically, strong products will be applied to hard-to-reach areas of the surface - this is the area behind the sink, stove, bathtub and toilet. The locker where the owners usually put the trash can will also be processed. Cornices and baseboards must be treated to prevent the next appearance of cockroaches from neighboring apartments.

Usually, after completing the work, you need to wait some time, since the room still contains a high concentration of toxic substances. Only after a certain time will it be possible to return to the apartment.

Reviews

Gennady: “My daughter has so many cockroaches in her apartment that it’s simply impossible to live there. But we just purchased the house; we didn’t even have time to deliver all the furniture. We had to call disinfectants. We tried to come to an agreement with the neighbors regarding the general professional persecution of cockroaches, at our expense, since we understand that treatment, even a professional, temporary measure, insects, which are full of them in the basement and in neighboring apartments, will return. But nothing worked out. The exterminators helped us, but six months later my daughter begins to notice cockroaches in the house again.”

Evgenia Dmitrievna: “Last year I called disinfectants, they seemed to use Sychlor, a good product, I still don’t see insects in my apartment, although I know that my neighbors have them. I advised them to use this drug, but they poison the old fashioned way.”

Important! Poisoning cockroaches with a guarantee is something that only professionals can offer. The cockroach poison used by disinfectants is tens of times more powerful than the usual poison that can be purchased in the store.

Where to contact

You can contact any company offering disinsection and deratization services. But if you need a government structure that will officially document the insecticide procedure (“-cide” means the complete extermination of no matter who or what), then this is the SES.

The abbreviation SES means “Sanitary and Epidemiological Service”. Its task is to prevent disease outbreaks in the city. Since all synanthropic pests carry diseases dangerous to humans, SES poisons cockroaches, flies, bedbugs and ticks. The sanitary service also destroys breeding rats and mice, monitors the sanitary condition in public catering establishments, takes water samples from open reservoirs and performs a lot of other work that is invisible to the city dweller. Therefore, it is not always possible to call SES officers immediately.

When contacting the service, you must clearly indicate your needs: an exterminator is required.

Companies that can be entrusted with pest control

When calling professional exterminators, you must remember that a very low price for the service, lower than the market average, may mean that the quality of the service is too low. At the same time, it is useful to clarify in advance what preparations the service workers use to kill cockroaches - sad cases are well known when, after the work of a professional pest control service, residents had to throw out upholstered furniture, since it retained an unpleasant and very persistent smell of poisons for months.

If you want to call the district SES ( sanitary and epidemiological station ) to treat the premises, then keep in mind that calling them to treat only one apartment can be very problematic. Still, this is a state organization with all the ensuing bureaucratic costs.

How much does it cost to kill cockroaches in an apartment currently? To kill cockroaches, for example, in Moscow the price starts from 1500-3000 rubles for one one-room apartment. Moreover, this comes with a guarantee of the absence of parasites for six months (or they will offer repeated and completely free treatment if they occur). If you don’t want an ordinary student with a garden sprayer to come to you, but a real professional with normal equipment and appropriate workwear, then choose a company very carefully, and not according to the first website or phone number that catches your eye.
