How to kill cockroaches with hot or cold fog. Killing cockroaches with fog

Ways of penetration of cockroaches

Where and why do cockroaches come from?
There are plenty of ways for parasites to enter a residential area. Insects can leave their previous home after persecution or enter the apartment through garbage chutes, ventilation ducts or through existing cracks. If the conditions of stay turn out to be favorable (plenty of food and drink, comfortable temperature, the presence of secluded corners), cockroaches will happily continue to live and breed in a new place.

An uncleaned table, a dirty trash can, exposed food, a wet sink, a small puddle on the stove or a leaking tap are factors that encourage cockroaches to firmly establish themselves in an apartment with such “ideal” conditions.

Why are cockroaches dangerous for human health?

Exterminating cockroaches is a very important task for Moscow residents. Despite the fact that cockroaches cannot cause direct harm to humans (they do not bite or show aggression), they are dangerous, like any other insects in Moscow. The seriousness of the threat lies in the fact that cockroaches are actively moving around your home, traveling through ventilation shafts and sewer pipes, the condition of which is far from sanitary.

At night, bacteria from the paws of these travelers will certainly end up on your dining table or food products that you forgot to put in sealed containers or bags.

Science has more than 50 infections, the carriers of which are cockroaches in Moscow, among them there are both dangerous diseases and minor intestinal disorders, helminthic infestations (whipworm, pinworm, tapeworm).

All types of domestic cockroaches in Moscow can spread the following types of infections:

Escherichia coli;
Infectious hepatitis;
Diphtheria;
Salmonellosis;
Tuberculosis;
Tetanus;
Polio.

In addition, cockroaches emit gases into the environment; if there are a large number of cockroaches in an apartment, this can lead to the development of asthma and asthma attacks. Only the destruction of uninvited guests will save you from all the dangers of living in cockroach-infested apartments in Moscow.

About destruction methods: “cold” fog, “hot” fog, other methods

Today there are many methods for exterminating pests in Moscow. A victim of a cockroach infestation has an unusually wide selection of insecticides, folk remedies and professional methods for controlling cockroaches.

Specialized pest control services in Moscow offer modern methods of exterminating parasites; in this case, pest control is taken to a professional level. In order to achieve the total extermination of Prussians, the master exterminator uses high-tech equipment - modern “cold” or “hot” fog generators, as well as innovative preparations that are absolutely odorless and harmless to humans.

Advantages of professional destruction methods

Cold fog destruction technology

Versatility: suitable for processing residential and warehouse/industrial premises, apartments in Moscow.
Simple application and high quality: a finer and more uniform spray of the solution with active substances, the resulting suspension of insecticides easily penetrates into hard-to-reach areas in the apartment.
High speed of the procedure and efficiency: the entire process of treating an apartment in Moscow, including ventilation, takes 6–8 hours.

“Hot” fog destruction method

Well suited for treating non-residential premises.
Effective even when treating heavily contaminated premises.
Allows you to achieve not only the destruction of insects, but their offspring (ovicidal effect).
Safe for paper and textile surfaces.
High speed and simplicity of the method.

In addition to professional extermination of pests in an apartment, insecticides intended for household use or self-disinfestation of an apartment in Moscow are available to unwitting inhabitants of the “cockroach kingdoms.”

Speaking about them, it is worth noting that traps with sweet baits, which until recently were the best way to destroy cockroaches in Moscow and the Moscow region, are no longer such. Nature has taken care of the survival of insects, and sweets no longer attract insects. Aerosols are still quite effective and provide quick results. True, when treating a large area, you will have to spend a lot of money on purchasing cans of insecticide.

Among the new products on the Moscow insecticide market, it is worth noting microencapsulated preparations of prolonged action “Extermin F”, “Effective Ultra”, “Minap 22” and others.

What to choose?

Choosing a reliable, safe and effective means for pest control is the most important step, on which not only the result, but also your comfort and safety depends.

In the case of a strong spread of pests, methods that do not allow for quick results are not suitable; professional extermination of cockroaches is necessary, which allows you to instantly kill the majority of adult individuals.

To treat apartments and other residential premises in Moscow, it is better to choose professional destruction performed using the “cold” fog method. For processing production and warehouse areas, it is optimal to choose a more effective procedure - destruction with “hot” fog.

If there are very few insects, you can try to resort to self-treatment and choose a suitable insecticide or bait prepared according to a folk recipe. But remember that in this case you risk starting the situation, cockroaches multiply very quickly and soon your apartment will become a real “cockroach kingdom”.

Self destruction

Independent control of cockroaches does not necessarily involve the use of insecticides; it is possible to destroy parasites without the use of chemicals.

For example, knowing that cockroaches, like other living beings, need water, you can try to block their access to the source of life. To do this, you will need to not only close the taps properly before going to bed, but also wipe the bathtub and kitchen sink dry.

Traditional methods

There are few traditional methods for removing cockroaches in Moscow; the most important, actively promoted method is the use of boric acid powder or borax to get rid of insects. With its help, they fight not only cockroaches, but also any other synanthropic insects in Moscow.

Options for using boric acid:

Crush the powder into flour, pour water into a saucer, thus creating a “watering hole” for cockroaches, and scatter crushed boric acid around the saucer. Boric acid itself does not attract insects, but if grains of powder stick to the legs, the insect will be forced to clean off the grains using its jaws. Once in the stomach, boric acid will cause rapid death of the insect.
Prepare bait from flour, powdered sugar and a small amount of water, add a little boric acid to the mixture. Spread the mixture on pieces of paper or, if the “dough” is quite thick, roll it into balls and place it in places where cockroaches gather.

*Attention! It is not recommended to use boric acid to remove cockroaches in an apartment where there are pets; it is strongly discouraged. Your pet may die if it eats poisoned bait.

Unfortunately, this method cannot be considered absolutely effective and reliable. If cockroaches have successfully learned to bypass poisoned bait traps, it is impossible to be one hundred percent sure that they will like boric acid baits more.

Another method for independent control of insects is freezing, which is effective, but it will not be possible to use it in an apartment with central heating.

Methods for repelling - geranium, washing floors with water to which ammonia has been added cannot be considered effective methods, since they do not lead to the death of insects. They can be considered, rather, as prevention and treatment of cockroaches in the apartment.

If there are cockroaches at home

If you find these insects in your apartment, you should urgently begin to fight them. Firstly, you need to put things in order by carrying out general cleaning or minor repairs. This is especially true for the kitchen, bathroom and toilet. It is also necessary to get rid of deposits of old trash, you should take out the trash can every day, do not leave food open on the table, and wipe the sink dry at night.

In order to destroy pests throughout the apartment, you need to lay out crayons, scatter powders, and use special aerosols and traps. However, treating the room with conventional chemicals may help in the short term; After a short time, the parasites again occupy the already inhabited space, crawling out of cracks, air ducts, baseboards and other inaccessible places. It is quite logical that after the ineffectiveness of the treatments carried out, the question will arise: “What helps against cockroaches?” What substance is capable of penetrating into the smallest cracks, settling on any surface and destroying indoor pests, their clutches of eggs and larvae? This is steam. After its all-pervasive effect, apartment cockroaches do not have the slightest chance of survival.

Areas of application

The choice of destruction method is influenced by many factors, but the main one is the place where disinfestation will be carried out. So, each type of fog is applied depending on the object on which the processing needs to be performed:

The destruction of harmful insects with hot fog is suitable for treating areas with heavy pollution where colonies of cockroaches live. These are warehouses, old buildings, dormitories. Since the aerosol enters every molecule of air, the product will disperse into all corners and crevices: cockroaches will have no chance of survival.
Disinfection with cold fog is recommended to be carried out in catering establishments, on farms in the presence of animals, in poultry farms, in greenhouses (does not affect plants), in transport. The only recommendations are that no people should be in the room at the time of treatment. The active chemicals in the solutions remain active for about four weeks. Thus, cockroaches in an apartment with their larvae have no chance to survive. This technology is also performed as a preventive measure.

It is common for cockroaches to move to untreated areas, so Disinfection Center specialists do not use fog locally. In addition, in this case, the insects develop immunity, and the effect of the product is noticeably reduced.

What does toxic vapor consist of?

As for the composition of the liquid evaporated by the device, it all depends on the specific service. Typically, exterminators use one of the following poisons:

It should be noted that all of the listed products belong to toxicity class IV - this means that they are low-toxic and safe for the health of people and their pets. But modern insecticides most often use poisons that belong to toxicity classes II and III - that is, these are more dangerous substances that, if used incorrectly, can cause some harm to health.

Depending on the drug used, the speed and efficiency of extermination of insects varies, but there is no doubt that each individual will die.

Characteristics of hot fog

The principle of processing using the hot method is somewhat different from the cold one. It is performed exclusively by professionals using thermal suits and a generator.

The heating element built inside the generator heats up the insecticides and converts them from liquid to vapor.
Toxic vapors are broken into small particles and heated to 70˚C.
The generator sprays vapors toward the ceiling. Over the course of 4 hours, they slowly descend, filling all hard-to-reach places, burning the parasites, and damaging the integrity of the shells of their eggs.
Creates an invisible film on the surface of furniture and walls that is safe for human health.
If the vapors begin to cool, but the treatment is not yet completed, the cockroaches will still be destroyed, because the insecticides used in this case act like a virus. As a result of contact of an infected insect with its family, it will be affected and destroyed.

Typically, hot fog is used once, because it not only destroys parasites, but also creates a barrier that prevents their reappearance.

Why you should contact us

Cockroaches, closely related to human life, are called synanthropic. These insects are active throughout the year and quickly move through ventilation and sewer systems. They easily overcome obstacles and capture new territories.

Characteristics of cold fog

Cold mist from cockroaches appears as a result of the interaction of special equipment and an insecticide. The processing mechanism is presented below.

The generator breaks down insecticides into microparticles similar to droplets.
The device creates high pressure, due to which droplets of poison are extracted from the equipment and released into the air.
Initially, the poisons fall under the ceiling, where they linger. Then the microparticles slowly descend to the floor, penetrate into all hard-to-reach places and fill them.
The product is effective within 4 hours from the moment of spraying, so the parasites have no chance of survival.

The peculiarity of killing cockroaches using the cold fog method is the use of poison, which has an effect similar to a virus. Having inhaled the drug, the parasite will crawl to its family and infect all the individuals living there, due to which their population will be destroyed. Considering that the parasite larvae may not be neutralized, it is recommended to re-treat after 2-3 days.

Dry fog

Dry fog from cockroaches is one of the varieties of cold fog.

Advantages of this method:

high speed of fog treatment - one room can be passed through in 15–20 minutes;
the optimal level of humidity is maintained, interior items and furniture do not get wet;
steam rises evenly and then settles on objects, leaving no traces;
due to the small particle size, the toxic solution is consumed very sparingly;
the procedure prevents the reappearance of cockroaches that have escaped from neighbors.

With this processing method, a high-power generator breaks the solution into microparticles measuring 0.25-0.50 microns.

Liquid fog

Allows you to poison cockroaches in the same way as dry fog and has an identical principle of action.

It is obtained by diluting pesticides with water to the required concentration and differs only in the large droplet size.

It should be noted that the boundary between liquid and dry fog is quite arbitrary. Steaming a room follows the same sequence, and the end result is similar.

Features of room treatment with cold fog

Poisoning arthropods using cold fog has the following features:

Increases the level of humidity in the room; before work, measures should be taken to reduce it;
The process eliminates flooding of floors, walls and furniture, so there will be no damage to the interior of the apartment;
Poisonous particles instantly destroy them at the slightest contact with insects;
An arthropod that comes into contact with a poisonous droplet infects the colony along a chain, the reaction spreading like a virus.

Poisoning cockroaches using this method is appropriate if there is a small degree of insect infestation in a house or apartment. After fog treatment, ventilate the apartment, wipe surfaces with which people often come into contact, and leave hard-to-reach places for 10–12 days.

What is the difference between cold cockroach mists and hot ones?

Hot fogs use heat to quickly and effectively disperse large amounts of a chemical in a room or structure. The mister heats the chemical, creating a large amount of mist without diluting the active ingredient in the chemical. Hot fog can be used in a variety of places, both indoors and outdoors.

Hot fog is a technology that uses heated air to quickly and effectively disperse large amounts of a chemical throughout a room or building. The fogger heats the chemical, creating a large amount of fog without diluting the active ingredient in the chemical.

Heat sprays of pesticides or disinfectants mixed with oil produce a very dense and visible mist produced by droplets about 10 microns in size. Thermal fogging is ideal for outdoor applications for disease and vector control, but this fogging method is not suitable for use in enclosed indoor areas due to the exhaust gases they produce and the oil residues they can leave behind.

Cold fog generators produce droplets ranging in size from 5 to 50 microns. Research shows that 20 micron droplets are the ideal size and weight for effective adhesion to insects. Droplets of this size also float in the air for about 10 minutes after application, reaching the most inaccessible places where cockroaches can live and thrive.

Pros and cons of the technique

Reasons why you should use cold mist to get rid of cockroaches:

Instant penetration throughout the entire room and a detrimental effect on cockroaches
Without leaving any stains on the surface
Effectively tested against cockroaches
Environmentally friendly if all rules are followed, since the method allows you to use fewer chemicals with the same efficiency
Ease of use of the tool itself
Reliable

Minuses:

The method is labor-intensive for preliminary preparation and subsequent tidying
Quite dangerous in terms of toxicity
Expensive

Advantages of the technique and its disadvantages

I can assume that if you decide to contact a pest control service and treat your apartment with fog, it means that you have already tried a lot of insecticides. And you probably already know about all their shortcomings:

I would like to note that the method of killing insects with cold steam is devoid of all these disadvantages, but is endowed with a lot of advantages:

As you can see, the method really has many advantages - enough to give up the usual insecticidal preparations in favor of cold fog. As for the shortcomings, there were some. Here are the main reasons that can stop owners from contacting a pest control service:

If you decide to mist your apartment or house, contact the pest control service in your city. The consultant will ask a couple of questions and calculate the cost of the company's services, after which you can decide whether it is right for you or not.

Destruction of cockroaches with insect death fog

This post has already been read 4054 times!

Good day, dear readers. In today’s article we will discuss a new technologically advanced and effective method of exterminating insects - so retrogrades and adherents of grandma’s methods should better stop and read something else. For those who enjoy using the achievements of modern times and are happy to live in the 21st century, this article will be interesting and very useful. Especially if there are cockroaches in your house.

I will tell you how to kill cockroaches with fog. You will learn about all the intricacies of this process, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. We will discuss the nuances of preparing an apartment for treatment, and preventive measures that will protect your home from repeated cockroach infestation. Read carefully - I bet you will never want to return to your usual means.

How it works?

Destroying insects with steam is a relatively new technology, but thousands of insect-stricken owners have already experienced all its benefits first-hand. The process is based on spraying a special solution using a special device - a steam generator. I’ll say right away that only special sanitary services use this technology, since buying a steam generator for a one-time use is an expensive and pointless undertaking.

This technique is reminiscent of the process of fumigation, when insects die under the influence of smoke - to do this, they set fire to a special substance that emits toxic smoke and fumigate the room. Steam disinfestation is based on the release of steam, with which insecticide particles penetrate where smoke would not reach.

Foggy disinfestation occurs as follows. After you have prepared the apartment appropriately (I will talk about this at the end of the article), specialists from the pest control service begin processing. The steam generator evaporates the insecticidal solution, which rises to the ceiling in the form of steam. Gradually, the foggy cloud settles down and evenly penetrates into those places where any other means will never reach. All the most secluded corners, the narrowest crevices and surfaces hidden from view will be covered with a thin layer of liquid containing poison.

What does toxic vapor consist of?

As for the composition of the liquid evaporated by the device, it all depends on the specific service. Typically, exterminators use one of the following poisons:

"Otrin." This is a suspension based on deltamethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide.
"CHILDREN." This is an emulsion that contains three components: the already familiar deltamethrin, tetramethrin and esbiothrin (this is a group of pyrethroid poisons).
"Solfak". Also an emulsion preparation based on beta-cyfluthrin, a pesticide poison used in everyday life and agriculture.

Depending on the drug used, the speed and efficiency of extermination of insects varies, but there is no doubt that each individual will die.

Where is this technique used?

Different types of insecticidal preparations have different restrictions on their use. But the method of steam disinfestation has no such restrictions - this technology is completely safe, at the same time effective and universal. Using fog you can solve a number of problems:

insects in residential, industrial and public premises;
pests on farms, warehouses and food storage;
mold in all types of premises.

As you can see, there is no problem that is beyond the control of fog disinfestation technology. Previously, it was necessary to use different means for different purposes, but today you can solve all the issues at once.

This work should be performed by specially trained people from the pest control service. Their tasks include calculating the proportions of toxic drugs and treating the room using a steam generator. Small particles of steam create a misty cloud that takes on the temperature of the room. This cloud remains in the air for up to 4 hours, gradually settling on the surface and penetrating into places inaccessible to other means.

Advantages of the technique and its disadvantages

toxicity;
the need to use personal protective equipment;
specific smell and toxic fumes;
the need for re-treatment, since most products do not affect cockroach eggs;
the use of such preparations requires the most thorough cleaning after disinfestation;
etc.

I would like to note that the method of killing insects with cold steam is devoid of all these disadvantages, but is endowed with a lot of advantages:

uniform and complete treatment of the entire room - you can be sure that not a single corner or crevice will be left untreated;
low consumption of toxic solution - due to special technology, to treat an impressive area you will need much less product than if you used, for example, a gel;
universality - not only cockroaches will die, but also midges, moths, ants, woodlice, silverfish, spiders and other arthropod inhabitants of your home;
environmental friendliness and safety for people and animals;
no need for re-processing - due to the smallest particle size, the active substance even affects cockroach eggs;
absence of plaque on furniture, specific odor and other traces of processing;
there is no need for thorough cleaning - the steam dries without leaving any traces, and toxic substances decompose into safe components;
the rate of death of insects - in just a couple of hours there will not be a single living creature left in the apartment, except for exterminators (as you understand, there should be no one except specialists in the room);
prolonged preventive effect (depending on the drug used); In addition to the immediate effect - extermination of insects - the method can effectively solve the problem of mold and fungi.

Expensive. The services of professional exterminators are not cheap, especially when it comes to processing using the latest expensive equipment;
The need to contact specialists. You, of course, can buy a device and liquid and try to treat your home yourself, but it will be better if those who really know how to do it do it.

Features of killing insects with fog

Today there are two methods of killing insects using fog: hot and cold. Let's find out how these methods differ, on what principle they work and which one is better to give preference to.

Cold fog treatment

The cold fog disinfestation method involves the use of a special device, which most often uses ultrasound to split the insecticidal liquid into microparticles up to 50 microns in size and then spray them into the air.

Outwardly, this resembles the operation of a nebulizer or humidifier. As you already understood from the name, the fumes released are cold. This is a symbol - in fact, the fog cloud takes on the temperature of the room in which the treatment is carried out.

One of the disadvantages of this method is a short-term increase in the level of humidity in the apartment. This problem can be easily resolved if you carefully follow the instructions of specialists from the pest control service - they will tell you how to reduce humidity after the procedure.

The list of advantages is much more impressive:

the smallest particles of liquid will not harm your furniture and wallpaper and will not leave plaque or stains;
the poisonous solution acts on the domino principle - one cockroach, after contact with the poison, infects others;
Insect death occurs within an hour after the start of treatment.

Hot steam treatment

Externally, this technique looks exactly the same as cold steam treatment. But there is one significant difference: hot steam treatment involves the use of a special device that converts the poison into steam under the influence of high temperatures (about 70°C). It is this factor that plays a key role in the effectiveness of the method - high temperatures significantly increase the effectiveness of the insecticidal solution. This method is ideal for areas that are heavily infested with insects. And if fog treatment is suitable for a small or acceptable number of cockroaches, then when the size of the cockroach colony is threatening, it is more effective to use hot steam.

The advantage of hot steam is that it destroys Prussians not only due to its poisonous effect, but also due to its high temperature. Cockroaches are heat-loving creatures and die if the thermometer drops below -1°C. However, they tolerate high temperatures very poorly (above 30°C). Hot treatment burns insects, damages the ootheca membranes and enhances the effect of toxic substances.

How to prepare an apartment for fog treatment?

Regardless of the chosen processing method, it makes sense to prepare the apartment before starting it. The preparation is as follows:

First of all, it is necessary to hermetically pack and hide food, dishes and personal hygiene items (toothbrushes, washcloths, etc.).
All personal items (clothes, shoes, bed linen, towels, etc.) must be washed, packed and removed from the apartment. Washing is necessary in order to destroy ootheca that cockroaches may have deposited in your personal belongings. Agree, it’s a shame to part with some money for the services of exterminators and then bring these nasty creatures home again on your own.
Move upholstered furniture away from the walls, remove paintings from the walls, and roll up carpets and put them away.
Inspect the walls and floor for cracks and crevices, and seal if necessary.
Do a thorough cleaning - there should be no dust or crumbs left at home.
Close windows and doors to the balcony to prevent ventilation.
Remove people and animals from the house, remove indoor plants, and cover the aquarium with a tight lid.

After the disinfestation procedure, the room is ventilated for a couple of hours. Then you need to wipe the surfaces with which you most often come into contact:

tables and countertops;
door handles and switches;
plumbing elements.

It is better to leave the remaining surfaces as is for at least one and a half to two weeks, and preferably three. When the insecticidal solution dries, it leaves tiny crystals of poison on the surface. This thin coating is invisible to humans and does not affect their well-being in any way, but will serve as an excellent preventive measure for the re-population of insects.

It’s good if your family has the opportunity to stay with relatives or friends for a couple of days after disinfestation. This period will be enough for all potentially toxic fumes to lose concentration and not have the slightest effect on your well-being.

Thank you for your attention, dear friends, and see you soon! Sincerely, blog author Mikhail Leshchenko

Is it possible to do it yourself?

Expensive equipment and materials will be required:

protective suit;
generator-spray;
insecticides.

Usually, after baiting, insects no longer appear, so purchasing all this for a one-time treatment is unprofitable. In addition, it is better to contact specialists who will charge little for the treatment of the premises, and the apartment owners will not have to put their health at risk. As a result, the risk of poisoning with toxic substances is reduced and the family budget is preserved.

How to prepare an apartment before fogging?

If there are cockroaches in the apartment, and you decide to call a team of exterminators to treat with fog, you need to take the following actions:

Do the cleaning - wash the floors, wipe down the furniture, remove grease and stains from the surfaces in the kitchen.
Rinse the bathroom and plumbing fixtures thoroughly.
Get rid of garbage, wash and dry the bucket.
Place all food items in the refrigerator, on the balcony, or pack them in bags and tie them tightly.
Put bed linen in closets, like all things.
Place toothbrushes and other personal belongings in lockers and put them in bags.
Move the furniture a little (if possible).

Actions after fogging

After treatment, when the drops of the active substance have completely settled, it will be necessary to ventilate all rooms. For an ordinary apartment, access to fresh air should be provided for at least 1-2 hours. Then you will need to dispose of the processed products, wipe with soapy water the places that the residents of the premises constantly touch: door handles, chairs, countertops, dining table, sink, stove. In order to give the substance time to act, it is not recommended to wash floors for 10 days after disinfestation; Washing of walls and baseboards can be organized 3 weeks after the cockroaches have been exterminated with hot fog. Reviews indicate that treating an apartment using a generator is very convenient, as it allows you to effectively destroy parasites in a short time.

Is cold mist harmful to humans?

Any procedure for poisoning cockroaches is not safe for people, especially for children. Whatever the manufacturer writes about low toxicity, you must understand that you are dealing with poisons. In some cases, these poisons are less toxic, in others they are more dangerous. All people have different adaptability to the perception of this poison. There are allergy sufferers who can suffer very seriously after any treatment of the apartment, including cold fog.

If you decide to use the cold fog method, then it is better for you to organize everything in such a way that no one is in the apartment for several days, or better yet a whole week.

At the first symptoms of poisoning, you must first rinse your stomach with a solution of water and soda, then take a sorbent, and wash with cool water and soap. If dizziness, nausea, and confusion continue, you should immediately call a doctor.

What is the price

Cockroaches are very dangerous and spread quickly. Within a few months, they are able to settle in every apartment of a multi-storey building, so it is necessary to take action as soon as a single individual has been discovered. This can be done in 2 ways:

kill insects with your own hands;
invite specialists who have the necessary solutions and equipment.

The price of equipment, insecticides and suits is high, so it is not profitable to disinfect your home yourself. Calling specialists to your home is much easier and cheaper. The cost of baiting cockroaches varies depending on the city and the reputation of the company, so you need to go around the companies providing services and evaluate the price list.

It is best to pay attention to a company that provides services at an average price. This indicates professionalism and the use of high-quality raw materials by specialists. Cheap companies may dilute insecticides excessively, so you should avoid working with them. If you decide to destroy cockroaches with your own hands or start such a business, it is recommended to watch the video:

Poisoning cockroaches with fog is a highly effective procedure that allows you to kill many types of insects in one go. All premises must be treated - even those where there are no signs of cockroaches.

Professional disinfection and disinfestation of cockroaches in Moscow

This is a very painstaking job of removing any pest from the premises. Traditional methods of control involve the expenditure of money and time, and professional treatment for cockroaches is a way to quickly restore peace to the family and the original appearance of a hotel or cafe.

An integrated approach can achieve colossal damage to the insect population. Up to 90% of insects die in the first day! If necessary, a procedure will be carried out using colorless and odorless preparations; your neighbors will not even guess what was happening behind the wall.

All professional products are environmentally friendly. They have quality certificates that confirm safety for human life and health. Companies that monitor their reputation and care about the comfort of their customers provide guarantees on work for up to 1 year.

When collaborating with a trusted company, the client always has a contract in his hands, which confirms the fact of the service provided and the payment made. Transparent conditions, supported by a seal and signature, are the key to the client’s trust in the company!

In exceptional cases, it happened that the cockroaches returned, then our specialists returned and re-treated the cockroaches.

Answers to popular questions

By paying pest control services a tidy sum for their services, customers want to make sure that the work will be carried out promptly, in compliance with sanitary standards, and all cockroaches will be destroyed.

They are also concerned about other questions that may be inconvenient to ask invited specialists.

When cockroaches die from fog

The first cockroaches die immediately after treatment begins. Residual individuals die while the main active substance retains its toxic properties, usually for 2–3 weeks.

As practice shows, repeated calls to exterminators are not required.

Is fog dangerous for humans?

This remedy for cockroaches cannot cause serious harm to humans. However, due to the high concentration of toxic substances, if safety measures are violated, residents may experience malaise, a burning sensation on the skin, and headaches.

When the first symptoms appear, you should go out into the open air, and if this does not help, consult a doctor. Animals, reptiles, and fish may be in much greater danger than humans. Therefore, pets should be removed from the apartment.

The treatment of housing from cockroaches with steam should be entrusted to pest control services.

It is not worth carrying out such a procedure on your own, since this will require purchasing expensive, specialized equipment, professional concentrated poisons and protective equipment.

Since cockroaches no longer appear after disinfestation, it is not profitable to make such purchases for the sake of a one-time treatment.

Professional extermination of cockroaches - stages of the fight

During self-processing, you may encounter such unpleasant consequences as poisoning of household members, not very high quality of destruction, ineffectiveness of means due to the fact that insects have already adapted to these poisons.

You can avoid all these troubles by entrusting the destruction procedure to the specialized sanitary and epidemiological service (SES) in Moscow. Professional destruction and treatment of cockroaches in an apartment is a strictly verified algorithm of actions; compliance with the sequence of stages of destruction allows you to minimize the risk of negative consequences.

Stages of professional disinfestation:

Studying the apartment and determining the level of infection.
Planning strategy and tactics of control (choice of destruction technology and insecticide).
Direct disinsection or destruction of parasites.
Prevention of secondary infection or barrier protection of the apartment.

During the specialist’s work, the client receives valuable recommendations, compliance with which guarantees a 100% result in the destruction of cockroaches.

Description of the destruction process step by step

At the first stage, the master exterminator meticulously inspects the prepared apartment. Based on the traces left by insects, he draws conclusions about the zones of their maximum concentration and population size. If at this stage it is revealed that there are a lot of insects in the apartment, the most effective technologies will be proposed.

The second stage is not only the choice of the destruction method, but also the insecticide itself. For disinfestation of apartments in Moscow, chemicals of hazard class IV and V are used.

Before the disinfestation procedure, all personal hygiene items and belongings are placed in cabinets or sealed containers; for additional protection of electrical appliances, they are covered with plastic film. Everyone at home leaves the house for a few hours, and the master begins to process the apartment. The procedure for treating an apartment in Moscow using the “cold” or “hot” fog method takes no more than 2-3 hours.

After disinfestation, the apartment must be thoroughly ventilated, and surfaces with which residents often come into contact must be washed with a soda solution.

Reviews of cold mist against cockroaches

Yaroslav (Volsk)

“I live in an old house that is almost 200 years old. The first floor is stone, and there is a store, and the second floor is wooden, where my apartment is located. At different times there were different organizations on the ground floor. And we experienced invasions of various pests, including rats. But the fight against cockroaches was the most painful. I started with simple folk methods. I hoped that if I put flavors everywhere, the cockroaches simply wouldn’t come to me from the store. When I discovered the first cockroaches, I started setting traps. Then I bought Dichlorvos and started spraying the house and cockroaches with it, but in a global sense nothing helped, because the population grew and grew. And then we joined forces: we carried out cold fog treatment in the store and apartment. After completing the work of the special sanitation service, I left for 10 days to rest, and only after returning did I ventilate the premises and carry out a second general cleaning. And... victory! So far, neither the store nor I have any cockroaches.”

Reviews

If a cold mist from cockroaches is used, an amazing effect is observed, as evidenced by the reviews of many apartment owners.

Katya, Moscow After arthropods appeared in the apartment, I couldn’t get them out for a long time. I used methods that did not bring success. I decided to contact a specialized company; the exterminators responded to the request quickly. After 2 days they arrived, treated with cold fog, after which insects no longer appeared in the apartment.

Victoria, Peter As soon as we noticed cockroaches in the apartment, without hesitation, we contacted the epidemiological service. For processing we chose cold fog, the active substance is cyfluthrin. Specialists carried out work even in the most inaccessible places, insects disappeared from the house forever.

The appearance of cockroaches in an apartment is an unpleasant problem that needs to be solved quickly. To achieve results after the first treatment, you should use powerful preparations in the form of a fog, the particles of which kill arthropods instantly.

Precautionary measures

When you decide to use the cold fog baiting method, you need to understand that it is poisonous not only to cockroaches, but also to people. This is a method with toxicity of 2-3 degrees of danger. There is a risk of poisoning from inhalation of air and from contact with treated surfaces.
If you decide to carry out the entire procedure yourself, then you absolutely need to be properly equipped. You must wear a special protective mask, and you must also protect your eyes with glasses. Clothing should consist of long trousers and a jacket with long sleeves. Hair must be covered with a scarf or cap, or a jacket with a hood is required. Your feet should be wearing boots, not slippers. You must wear gloves on your hands. Almost no part of the skin of your body can be exposed.

After you have treated the room, you need to leave it closed for at least four hours, and preferably longer.
Then you need to return to the room for a few minutes and ventilate it for about 2 hours.
But it is advisable not to enter the apartment for about a day, or better if you find the opportunity to leave the apartment for a whole week.
Upon returning to the apartment, before you bring children, elderly relatives and pets, you should do a complete deep cleaning. If you don’t have the time and energy for this, then it makes sense to call a cleaning company, but carefully observe that the entire apartment is cleaned in the most thorough manner, all surfaces are wiped down and washed with detergents.
The cold treatment process is quite labor-intensive and is worth getting involved in only because it guarantees getting rid of cockroaches.
