Probably, there are few people who will be able to say that in their life they have never met with cockroaches. These small and brisk insects are our companions for many centuries and it is no accident. Cockroaches eat waste from our table and not only them, if there are no products, paper, leather and even soap are used.
There are more than 4000 species of this species. The most common in our homes are 2 species: red cockroach (cockroach) and black cockroach. The ancestors of these insects appeared about 300 million years ago during the Paleozoic period and for almost as long their appearance did not change much. Adult individuals of the Prusak reach a length of 10-16 mm, and black cockroaches - 18-50 mm.
The native land of this insect is northern Asia. From there they were brought to Europe and other parts of the world, after which they settled in human dwellings, bringing him a lot of inconvenience. Now the time has come to ask the main question: "How to get rid of house cockroaches?". Let's try to figure this out now.
How can you get rid of red cockroaches forever?
First, let's try to find out what is necessary for this insect for life and what it does not like:
- cockroaches live only in the premises where there are people or animals (apartments, hospitals, canteens, plants and sheds);
- this heat-loving insect, at -5 ° C they die;
- cockroaches can not live without water.
So how do you quickly get rid of cockroaches at home? Of course, you can slam them with a sneaker, but that's not enough. First, cockroaches are very resistant to physical influences. After lying down, he gets to the water and is again ready for reproduction. And secondly, this method is not effective, because you can not kill everyone. Therefore, in order to get rid of cockroaches, we will prepare baits from boric acid. We will need: raw egg yolk and 40 g of boric acid. We mix a thick slurry and sculpt balls with a diameter of 1 cm. We put the dried baits in prominent places. True, with this effect, the cockroach does not die immediately, but after 3-4 weeks. After the disappearance of all insects, do not rush to remove the bait. If the "guest" accidentally comes from neighbors, he will come across a ball and die, not having time to lay eggs.
You can also use "Mashenka" crayon or any other similar means. We draw a solid line in the places where the Prusak often appears. Update the lane every 2 days. But consider that this tool does not destroy cockroaches, but only limits their movement.
And yet, how to effectively get rid of cockroaches? For this, various chemical preparations are used: aerosols, traps and gels. Aerosol is a quick and effective way to destroy the cockroaches. But most of them have a specific smell and are dangerous to the health of pets and people. For example - dichlorvos. You can also arrange special traps: "Reid", "Raptor" or "Combat". The principle of action of such baits is cumulative, that is, the cockroach dies not at once, but leaves into the nest and infects the fellow tribesmen, where they perish. Gels have a similar effect. Sometimes it is enough to pour cockroaches once, and they disappear forever.
How to get rid of black cockroaches forever?
Black cockroaches are encountered much less often than their red relatives, and it is much easier to bring them out. To do this, you can use various gels: "Raptor", "Liquidator" and "Globol", which are valid for 30 days. Suitable and bait with the addition of boric acid.
In general, the best way to get rid of cockroaches is to destroy them collectively. If you poison the cockroaches with all the entrance, and preferably the house, you can achieve a positive effect from the first time. This is because insects easily move from one room to another through slots, pipes and ventilation. Therefore, before you get rid of black and red cockroaches forever, merge with your neighbors.
