Where did they come from and how to get rid of them: rules for successful pest control of cockroaches

How to treat premises against cockroaches

The procedure is carried out in the absence of household members.
The premises must be prepared for processing. Objects that are unstable to moisture, furniture, documents, and money are placed in plastic or covered with film. Food must be placed in an airtight container or refrigerator. It is better to put personal hygiene items in plastic bags. Only adults wearing respirators may be in the room during processing. Do not eat, drink or smoke during treatment. It is prohibited to be present during the procedure:

• lactating and pregnant women;
• children;
• animals;
• asthmatics;
• for allergy sufferers.

Employees of the Geradez service arrive at the place at the appointed time. Baiting is carried out in overalls, gloves, glasses using special equipment. The duration of the procedure depends on the clutter of the apartment, the size of the area, and the population of the object with insects. Processing takes about 10 minutes.

A company employee uses equipment with a sprayer to irrigate surfaces where cockroaches gather. Practice shows that the most popular habitats for insects are located near sources of water and food - sinks, tables, microwaves, ovens, gas and electric stoves, kitchen and bookcases, beds and sofas of bedridden patients. In these places, processing is carried out most thoroughly.

The operator must also process the expected migration routes of cockroaches:

• skirting boards;
• door and window openings;
• ventilation;
• water supply systems.

Surfaces under tables, household appliances, holes, cracks, openings are treated.

Cockroaches are often found under plastic corners near sinks, in the cracks of floor and ceiling plinths. If the parts are removable or the owner is ready to change the decorative element, they are removed and the surfaces are treated with the prepared solution.

In the process of baiting cockroaches, Geradez employees treat walls, areas behind and under cabinets, furniture, under and behind the refrigerator, walk along shelves, and areas behind radiators.

More details:

In the rooms:

• Carry out normal cleaning: vacuum or wash the floors, wipe off dust. Sort out your things - there should be no chaos in the apartment .
• During treatment, remove the things that you touch most often: remote controls for household appliances, telephone, keyboard and mouse of your home PC.
• If there are bedbugs in the apartment, prepare the furniture for treatment: empty cabinets and linen drawers. It is recommended to boil and iron bedding to reduce the likelihood of insects appearing from the masonry.

In the kitchen:

• Remove food and utensils so that insect repellent cannot get on them. Empty the cabinets in which insects were noticed - they will be treated. We recommend wrapping work surfaces, such as countertops, with cling film or plastic wrap - this way you will significantly reduce the cleaning time after a visit from our technician.

Common areas:

• In the toilet rooms, make sure that personal hygiene items are removed: toothbrushes, razors, towels, cotton swabs. It is also recommended to remove tubes, bottles and other closed containers that you use during toilet procedures during treatment.

Traps - as an auxiliary means for exterminating cockroaches

As a preventive measure, or a small number of insects in the room, special traps for cockroaches are used. There are several types of traps:

1.Electronic trap. Insects that get inside the trap are electrocuted. Dead cockroaches are removed with a special brush and the trap is again ready for use. Absolutely non-toxic, safe for others and has a long service life. The cost is not less than seven hundred rubles

You should still take precautions, since the trap is powered by electricity, you should not use it in wet areas

1. Sticky based traps. They are the most common and are probably one of the safest methods of killing cockroaches. They are produced in house boxes with bait inside. Once inside, it is impossible for a cockroach to get out. The disadvantage of such a trap is that it is not capable of destroying a large number of individuals. Its cost is from 70 rubles and above, depending on the manufacturer’s brand.

3. Long-term traps with bait. It is most often a round box with holes, inside of which an insecticidal agent is located. Cockroaches crawl into the trap cavity and come back out, having already tasted the poison. After such a visit, the cockroaches themselves die and infect their relatives.

1. Traps in containers. This can rather be attributed to folk remedies. Such traps are made as follows: bait is placed at the bottom of a jar or other container, and the entire container is lubricated with oil. Once in such a trap on the oil surface, cockroaches will no longer be able to get out. The method is simple but effective. One thing: this technique is not for mass extermination of the Prussian family, although it can significantly reduce the number of cockroaches.

Of all the types of traps presented, the most popular is the sticky form. This product has proven itself well (and for a very long time), produced by Japanese manufacturers. A sufficient number of such sticky traps are now being produced.

We wish you good luck in exterminating red pests and achieving high efficiency.

The fact is that the drug is luring and is designed not only to destroy insects “here and now”, but also to produce new offspring. Greater activity of insects (especially bedbugs) may be noticed, as they have to crawl out of their hiding places and look for new habitats, after which they die. Especially do not use steamers.

For any questions, call our contact numbers, and we will answer your questions and provide advice.

Disinfection against cockroaches

For those who are thinking about how to destroy cockroaches in an apartment forever, professional disinfection can be recommended. Although insect control, unlike cheap traps or sprays, is expensive, the effectiveness and safety of the methods is at a high level. It is preferable to use such methods provided:

• a large number of insects;
• the need to treat several rooms;
• extermination of parasites in an apartment building.

Disinfection against Prussians is carried out with liquids or aerosols containing insecticides that are sprayed on indoor surfaces. For destruction, special installations are used that make it possible to process the most remote corners not only in the apartment, but also in specialized establishments of any size - warehouses, garages. For effective results, you can choose the following methods:

• cold fog;
• hot spraying of compounds;
• cooling to sub-zero temperatures;
• wet disinfection.

Types of treatment for cockroaches

If there are a lot of cockroaches, insect traps and chalk may not help get rid of them. To ensure that parasites disappear from your apartment forever, it is better to turn to professional exterminators who skillfully apply cockroach treatment in any room.

There are several main types of disinfestation:

• Dry processing,
• Wet processing,
• Gel treatment,
• Aerosol-gas.

Let's consider these methods of disinfecting apartments in detail.

Dry processing

When dry treating premises against cockroaches, insecticides in the form of powders are used. But dry disinfestation is quite dangerous for people, since the fine powder that makes up the products used can cause poisoning if it accidentally enters the body.

However, dry processing is often used in office premises; it is not recommended in apartments. Powders for disinfestation are scattered in the corners of rooms and along baseboards. If there are a lot of cockroaches, they can also apply it to the walls.

Wet and aerosol gas treatment

If direct wet treatment is used to disinfest apartments, this means that insecticides will spray their aerosols. During aerosol gas treatment, finely dispersed insecticides are sprayed using fog generators.

It is best to poison cockroaches using wet and aerosol gas treatment. Also, these methods are completely safe for humans. If gas disinfection against cockroaches is used, the poisons are sprayed over the surfaces to be treated in a thin layer. ULV fumigators are used, powered by an electric motor, which split insecticides into droplets of 60 microns in size. Thanks to this, the product penetrates into any microcracks and microcracks.

This treatment method is also attractive because the permissible concentration of poison in the apartment is not exceeded, and no stains from the active substance remain on the wallpaper and furniture. Insects that fall under the aerosol stream die immediately, while others become infected upon contact with crystallized particles of the product.

Gel treatment

When gel treatment of apartments, bait with insecticides in the form of gels is placed in places where cockroaches accumulate. Cockroaches eat it and infect other insects.

Gels usually contain fats that prevent them from drying out and substances that attract cockroaches. It is also good that the applied gel prevents the formation of a new colony if insects enter the apartment from the outside. After all, the gel can act on Prussians for several months.

Gel treatment is quite effective, but the drug has a high price, which limits its use. The advantage of this treatment is that there is no need to specially prepare the room for disinfection. You only need to open access to the places most visited by cockroaches. Also, there are so few toxic vapors from the gel that they do not enter the human respiratory tract and do not lead to poisoning and allergies. There is only one drawback of the gel treatment against cockroaches - the drug does not act on insects instantly.

We trust professionals

If you don’t have the desire or time to remove the Prussians on your own, you can contact a disinfection service. When responding to an advertisement, you should remember that unprofessionals and even scammers may be hiding behind the tempting offer to carry out processing for little money. Before starting work, it is worth asking what kind of insecticides the representatives of the organization will use. It happened that owners had to throw away furniture that retained a persistent, unpleasant odor after unsuccessful treatment.

If you want to call the SES (sanitary and epidemiological station) to exterminate cockroaches in the apartment, then you should take into account that it will be quite difficult to come to an agreement with them due to bureaucratic obstacles. Do not confuse a government organization with small companies that have a similar name and provide pest control services.

In the capital, for help in exterminating insects, you can contact companies such as Dezalit, Geradez, Klop-Stop, Klop-Control, Dezcenter and others. The first two organizations have branches in other cities. In addition, you should not write off local companies that can be found through advertisements, as well as based on reviews from relatives and colleagues.

Conscientious specialists charge at least 2 thousand rubles for their services for a one-room apartment. At the same time, residents are guaranteed to get rid of cockroaches, and if insects still appear within six months, they will be offered re-treatment at the company’s expense. The company should be chosen carefully, and not call the first advertisement that catches your eye.

The apartment must be prepared for the arrival of a pest control specialist:

1. Move all furniture away from the walls, empty shelves and drawers in cabinets, remove dishes and personal items.
2. If the apartment has a storage room or closet, it is necessary to remove unnecessary items from there.
3. It is necessary to provide free access to the baseboards along the entire perimeter of the room.
4. If the locations of insects are known in advance, it is necessary to provide access to them.
5. Before disinsection, animals must be removed from the treatment area, the aquariums must be removed (if capacity allows) or covered with glass. The compressor must be turned off.

At the next stage, an insecticide is prepared. The powder or concentrate is diluted with water to the required volume according to the instructions.

If you decide to carry out the treatment with aerosols, you need to spray the drug, spraying all accessible surfaces: walls, baseboards, surfaces behind the kitchen unit and stove

Do not ignore the interior space of cabinets and shelves. As mentioned earlier, access to all hard-to-reach places should be ensured in advance

After completion of the treatment, the room is closed for 1 - 2 hours. The exterminator should also leave the premises at this time. After the time has passed, the rooms are ventilated and wet cleaned.

If the treatment is carried out with a gel agent, all hard-to-reach places should be treated with poison: the back wall of furniture, the floor under the kitchen unit, baseboards. The drug is applied in a dotted line, leaving gaps of a couple of centimeters between the drops. The gel has a long-lasting effect, so wet cleaning should not be carried out on treated surfaces for at least a couple of weeks.

Traps should be placed in areas where cockroaches are most likely to appear. As they fill, they need to be changed and cleaned of dead insects.

You should not panic or send curses on the heads of exterminators if cockroaches reappear. Some individuals could survive by hiding in the ventilation during treatment or by coming back from their neighbors. Even mega-professional exterminators may not be able to rid an apartment of these unwanted residents in one go. Re-processing is not uncommon. There is no need to consider yourself deceived or think that money was thrown away if the need arose.

You should not completely rely on the professionalism of specialists when it comes to long-term disposal of cockroaches. Residents themselves should make an effort to ensure that these insects no longer appear in their field of vision. The best way to do this is prevention. Ventilation must be treated with insecticides - you can even put a trap with a barrier effect in it. You should maintain cleanliness in the premises: remove leftover food, empty the trash can on time, and do not leave dirty dishes overnight. It is necessary to replace the leaking faucet and eliminate cracks in doorways and windows. Only such a comprehensive approach can guarantee the absence of insects in the room.

Good luck in your fight against these insects!

How could these vile creatures appear in my clean and comfortable apartment?

If you live in an apartment, you most likely have neighbors, as well as a basement and a garbage disposal. These are the three main routes along which entire colonies of cockroaches come into our homes. Their flat body and small size allow these creatures to easily crawl into the smallest cracks and holes. The Prussians can come to you using any of the following routes:

• through a sewer riser or ventilation shaft from unscrupulous neighbors; • through cracks in walls, floors and ceilings; • through the basement if you live on the first floor; • get into the entrance from the garbage chute and from there move into your apartment.

In addition to these obvious ways, insects can get to you through a postal parcel, you can bring them from the store along with your purchases, and the courier can also deliver them to your home along with household appliances - a stove, refrigerator or, for example, a microwave oven.

Regardless of how the redheads got into your home, chances are your neighbors have the same problem. That is why it is very important to agree on simultaneous disinsection - this is the only way to quickly and effectively get rid of cockroaches.

Why is it necessary to get rid of these unpleasant, but generally harmless insects? Cockroaches seem harmless only at first glance and only to desperate optimists. In fact, if you look at the problem more broadly, you can find a whole list of reasons why mustachioed colonizers must be destroyed.

Firstly, cockroaches are carriers of any infection. Look what they can bring on their little legs and skinny bellies:

• eggs of helminths (pinworms, roundworms and others); • gastroenteritis; • salmonellosis; • dysentery; • mycobacteriosis, etc.

Now imagine that the creature will carry all this nasty stuff onto your table, your cutlery and dishes, towels and toothbrushes, onto your groceries - after all, Prussians are omnipresent and crawl absolutely everywhere.

Secondly, in the absence of sufficient food and drink, cockroaches can crawl onto sleeping people and gnaw their lips and mucous membranes in search of moisture.

Gross? And how. There is probably no person who, as a child, would not be afraid that insects would crawl on him in his sleep. Moreover, the Prussian can get into the nose or ear canal, and then it will no longer be possible to do without the help of a qualified specialist.

Thirdly, cockroaches are simply unpleasant creatures - we all shudder with disgust when we go into the kitchen at night to drink some water and see him crawling across the table or helping himself to an apple core in the trash can. As if we don’t have enough stress in everyday life, to also be nervous about uninvited guests in our own home.

Fourthly, cockroaches make us throw away food. Will you eat a sandwich from which you have just driven off a cockroach? No. Unless, of course, you are going to pick up helminths or salmonellosis, which insects carefully brought for you from the sewer or basement. All products touched by little paws become potentially dangerous and must be thrown away. In a word, not fighting the Prussians is expensive and fraught with unpleasant and even dangerous consequences.

As you, I hope, have already understood, you need to get rid of cockroaches as soon as you find at least one. Fortunately, in our time there are enough ways to do this quickly, effectively, inexpensively and relatively safely - pest control preparations have long been invented.

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.

How long do cockroaches live after disinfection?

Professional home disinfection involves the use of substances that are strong and poisonous to insects, and if the requirements are met, it can deal with them at once:

• three-hour post-disinfection sanitation, which involves closed home spaces in an apartment, takes 3 hours;
• 15-minute ventilation,
• actually cleaning up dead pests.

The use of special special means at home assumes that within 1-2 weeks all household pests will be destroyed.

The cockroaches did not disappear after disinfestation, what should I do?

• So, the result should be monitored after approximately half a month.
• In case of ineffective home disinfestation in the apartment, you should contact the service again for a free repetition of the procedure.

Where did the cockroaches go in the apartment?

The owners are alarmed by the unexpected disappearance of their mustachioed apartment neighbors. They may leave their home for several reasons:

• strong electromagnetic radiation;
• advanced new generation household insecticides;
• modern finishing products that are too tough for insects.

So, cunning red cockroaches live in apartments even in the most difficult home conditions. At the same time, even if you hit it with shoes, you cannot be sure of the death of the barbel due to the characteristics of the body cover. The most effective deprivation in an apartment is the lack of water and heat.

What to do after disinfestation

If the treatment was carried out using cold fog, the housing is closed for 3 hours or left for a day. When exterminators use hot fog, the apartment must be isolated for at least 6 hours. This rule must be followed so that the active substances are completely deposited on the surfaces.

After the allotted time has passed, open the windows and ventilate the apartment for at least three hours. A room is considered suitable for living if there is no sore throat and no pungent odor when you are in it.

Insects must feed on the poison and pass it on to their fellows. Usually, a maximum of two weeks is enough for cockroaches to die completely.

Cleaning the apartment after sanitation includes:

1. Wet treatment of surfaces that are often touched by residents - door handles, toilets, sinks, tables and chairs.
2. The floor is cleaned using a broom. The floor is washed only in the center, without touching the baseboards.
3. Wash bedding and clothing at 90 degrees. Organize the washing in batches; dirty laundry is put back into the bag, which is tied tightly.
4. It is better to wash children's toys with a solution of soda and soap.

What to do with clothes and linen?

All clothing should be placed in a sealed bag and moved to another room.
You should also pack sheets, blankets, pillowcases, pajamas, stuffed animals and curtains in protective or vacuum bags. There is a risk that they also contain insects.

In this case, it is recommended to wash items at a temperature not lower than 50°C. Along with the disinfestation procedure, this will allow you to confidently get rid of bed bugs. If it is not possible to wash so many things, you should at least scald them with boiling water by placing them in the bathtub.

Space under the sink

The cleaning area that should be given special attention when preparing your apartment for disinfection is the cabinet under the sink. All objects in this area must be removed and treated before the procedure. You can use any recommended remedy (Hector, Zonder, Executioner).

The cabinet under the sink is a place in the apartment where other insects, especially cockroaches, are especially common. They are attracted by the food remains found there. For this reason, disinfestation should be carried out in this place with extreme caution, trying to treat it as much as possible before the pests scatter.

How to get rid of cockroaches

To protect your home from uninvited insects, you first need to put it in order. This measure will help, after destroying the parasites, to prevent them from returning. In the kitchen and rooms you should:

• do not leave food behind;
• wash the dishes;
• remove leftover food;
• deprive cockroaches of water;
• prevent pests from entering the house - block all possible routes;
• tighten the exhaust holes with mesh;
• close the gaps on the balcony;
• maintain cleanliness;
• Do not leave pet food unattended;
• throw out garbage on time.

To get rid of insects, you can use various methods:

• Professional extermination.
• Ultrasonic repellers – Tornado, Typhoon.
• Poisons - powders, gels, aerosols - act on the nervous system of parasites, causing death. The products are effective, but dangerous to health due to their highly toxic effect on the body - Chlorophos, Karbofos.
• Traps. Bait boxes differ in their operating principle. This could be: electric current, gluing of a parasite inside a trap, infection of all others by one individual - Raptor, Combat.

Gels are the optimal drug for getting rid of cockroaches

Gels for getting rid of cockroaches are one of the most popular insecticidal preparations. The advantages of such funds include the following points:

1. This form of insecticide is highly effective. Just one tube of the drug is enough to get rid of the entire population of crawling parasites. The action of such products is based on the contact of the gel with the legs of the cockroach. Just one individual is capable of spreading a sufficient amount of the drug throughout the home, which destroys its relatives. It is interesting that after eating a small amount of this remedy, the Prussian dies. The body of the cockroach is eaten by its fellows, which ends in death for them.
2. Gels can be used when family members are present in the room. It will not affect their health in any way. The product is applied in the required amount to baseboards, walls, corners and floors. After some time, you can see that the cockroaches began to die little by little. Such preparations are quite easy to use and do not require any special tricks in application.
3. Such drugs are quite safe. They contain special bitter substances. They are the ones who will not allow your pet to swallow even a drop of the gel. At the same time, cockroaches do not perceive such bitterness at all.

Of course, gels also have disadvantages. With their help, it is almost impossible to destroy an entire colony of crawling insects in one day. It is possible to see concrete results only after two weeks.

But despite this small drawback, more and more consumers prefer such insecticides. It is not difficult to destroy the population of Prussians or black cockroaches using such means.

Manufacturers usually place the gel in a tube or syringe. Before you start fighting insects, you should warm the packaging in warm water. This will allow the gel to come out better.

Small drops of the drug should be applied to areas of the house or apartment where crawling parasites are most often found. It is advisable to make a very small distance between them. You can also apply the gel in one continuous line. In this case, the cost of funds will be greater.

The drug should be on walls, corners, baseboards and other places until all parasites completely disappear. If the gel is accidentally erased during cleaning or other circumstances, it is necessary to apply it a second time. There is no need to worry that greasy stains will remain after using such an insecticide. Modern gels against cockroaches leave no traces behind. Some of the most effective today are:

• “Trap” – gel paste;
• “Assault”, consisting of two insecticides at once;
• “Fas”, similar in composition to “Trap”;
• “Globol” is a gel of German origin;
• “Domovoy” is a drug created by Russian manufacturers.

The latter remedy has proven itself well when used together with insecticides of the same brand.

The price for such insecticides ranges from 150 to 230 rubles. In comparison with other drugs of similar action, gels are among the most effective and affordable.

Treating an apartment for bedbugs: how to properly prepare, what to do after, when to wash

The appearance of bedbugs in apartment buildings is a frequent and very problematic phenomenon. Pests multiply very quickly, and in a short time hordes of bedbugs will populate all living areas.

In the video, preparing an apartment for treatment against bedbugs:

It is not easy to destroy insects, since they make their nests in hard-to-reach corners of the apartment. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find all the shelters of parasites.

It is possible to get rid of a bedbug infestation with the help of professional sanitary and epidemiological services or to treat your home yourself.

For maximum effectiveness and to avoid the need to re-treat the apartment, a number of measures should be taken. Let us consider in more detail the procedure for preparing a home for treatment against blood-sucking insects.

Main list of actions after processing

After treatment, it is recommended to begin cleaning after at least 6 hours.
During this time, all bedbugs should die. To begin with, the house or apartment is well ventilated for 4 hours. To do this, open all doors and windows so that clean air flows freely into all rooms and vapors of toxic chemicals evaporate.

After ventilation, follow the following algorithm class=”aligncenter” width=”1000″ height=”652″[/img]

• Using a vacuum cleaner, you need to collect the remains of bedbugs throughout the treated area. Next, it is recommended to burn the bag with their corpses or place it in boiling water.
• Then a complete wet cleaning of the premises is carried out. To do this, use water and soap, or powder, as well as sponges and rags. Wipe all surfaces with a soapy solution, regardless of their location. You can also use soda ash and vinegar for cleaning.
• The floors are also washed with soapy water or I use a special product for this.
• All upholstered furniture, mattresses and carpets are also cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. These surfaces do not need to be washed. After all, the insecticide should remain in folds and hard-to-reach places to prevent the appearance of bedbugs.
• Wash soft toys that have also been disinfested. Also wash blankets, rugs and pillows.
• You also need to vacuum the carpets at maximum power on all sides.
• Paintings, panels and photographs in frames are wiped with soap and water.

It is important to know that the lower part of the walls, ceiling skirting boards and baseboards located on the floor do not need to be washed at all.
This can be done only a month after treatment. The disinfectant should remain on them. This is necessary to prevent bedbugs from appearing again. It is necessary to carry out general cleaning of the entire apartment or house only 14 days after insect pest control. You also need to remember that all cleaning procedures after disinfestation must be strictly carried out using rubber gloves and protective clothing.

The very preparation of premises for treatment against bedbugs is very important, as is cleaning after disinfestation. If you approach these two processes indifferently (for example, do not move furniture away from the walls, do not remove paintings and carpets, or do poor cleaning), the blood-sucking parasites will return to the house again. After all, access to some oviposition and nests will be closed to the processing specialist, and new offspring will hatch in them.

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.

What to do after processing the apartment

After treatment
After the preparation of the apartment for disinfestation is completed, and the master has processed everything in the best possible way, it is necessary to observe safety measures:

• 3-5 hours after disinfestation, ventilate the room by opening all windows wide;
• wipe surfaces with which household members come into daily contact (window sill, closet, table, door handles, etc.) with a solution of soda ash, add 40–50 grams per liter of water, and wash everything again with soapy water; the treatment is carried out with gloves;
• Wash bedding in a machine at 95 degrees;
• General cleaning after disinfestation is carried out two weeks later.

If you follow simple rules for preparing the room before disinsection, you will forget what bedbugs are, you will sleep peacefully at night, without fear of once again becoming a source of food for blood-sucking insects.

After processing

Before using the room for its intended purpose after insecticidal treatment, it is necessary to carry out an hour of ventilation and then wet cleaning.

When wet cleaning, dilute a small amount of baking soda in warm water.
The resulting solution decontaminates the applied pest control agent from wiped surfaces. However, you should not try to wash off the bedbug repellent from everywhere. You need to wipe and wash only those surfaces and areas of the room that you actively use in the course of your life. For example, table surfaces, the center of the room, door handles, furniture, etc. Hard-to-reach places behind furniture, along baseboards, interior parts of bedroom furniture, etc. must be left covered with the product for as long as possible. The remaining applied drug will destroy the remaining bedbugs and prevent them from entering from neighboring rooms. The death of all parasites
does not occur instantly. The evaluation of the results of the treatment is carried out three weeks after it has been carried out. During this time, all the eggs left by the bedbugs will have time to hatch and the death of the emerging bedbug larvae should occur. If after this time the absence of bedbugs is recorded at the site, the treatment is considered successful. Otherwise, it is necessary to begin planning additional pest control measures.

Freezing out insects

This method of killing cockroaches is quite effective, but has its drawbacks:

1. All insects will die completely only if the air temperature is below 8 degrees. Not everyone can provide it, so you will have to wait until winter to control pests.
2. Freezing a room poses a danger not only to water supply systems, but also to heating radiators in general. Pipes can defrost and burst.
3. This measure is always temporary. As soon as the temperature in the room returns to normal, crawling insects will reappear through ventilation and cracks from neighbors.

Therefore, experts advise giving preference to other methods.

General rules for preparing an apartment for disinfestation

If you can’t get rid of parasites on your own, it makes sense to contact a pest control service. Service employees know the characteristics of each type of pest, use professional equipment and preparations to treat the infested premises.

During disinfestation, the first to be treated are the places that are used by all residents - the bathroom, kitchen, corridor. Sanitation is preceded by mandatory preparation of the apartment:

1. Do a wet cleaning of the rooms. The dust accumulated under the furniture will fly around the apartment when the cold fog generator is operating. Only clean surfaces are treated with exterminators.
2. Place personal items and hygiene products in ziplock bags.
3. Empty kitchen cabinets. Be sure to put the food in the refrigerator or hide it under film, and cover the dishes tightly.
4. Remove unnecessary items and trash cans from under the sink.
5. If possible, move furniture and household appliances away, clearing the walls.
6. Remove the baseboards that cover the legs of the kitchen units.
7. Remove hanging towels and household items to allow service staff to clean the walls.

All pets, including aquarium fish, must be removed from the apartment. Remember that disinfestation is carried out indoors.

Before using hot fog, it is recommended to notify your neighbors and cover (or seal) the ventilation openings.

Necessary actions before the processing process

The question: how to prepare an apartment for disinfestation causes panic, because all things will be processed, otherwise the parasites cannot be destroyed. The processing substances are poisonous (not all substances), and all the contents of the apartment will have to be thoroughly washed so that its main inhabitants are not poisoned. But there is no need to panic, but you need to think through all your actions step by step:

1. You need to find a place to stay overnight in the next 24 hours. You should not be present in the home during and after disinfestation, since the treatment is carried out with toxic substances;
2. Pets, including fish, will also have to be relocated. Although you can leave the aquarium, you just need to cover it tightly with a lid;
3. Dishes should be sealed (if possible) in bags. If poison gets into the dishes, it will get into the food. Open dishes should be placed in cabinets and closed carefully. The same applies to personal hygiene items;
4. It is better to throw out old furniture (after all, you have long dreamed of getting rid of it). The fact is that it has a lot of roughness, cracks, secluded corners where bedbugs can easily live and therefore processing may take longer;
5. Do not take linen with you to your temporary overnight stay. This is one of the favorite places for parasites, as they feed at night. Leave the laundry at home, and after chemical treatment, wash and iron thoroughly;
6. Furniture must be moved away from the wall. There may be secluded places where parasites hide. And if the specialist does not get to them, then the work will be done in vain;
7. Household appliances should be covered with polyethylene or stretch film. Disinsection against bedbugs is carried out with an aqueous solution of a chemical substance, and water can damage office equipment or cause a short circuit;
8. If you have a library, it is important to look at all the books. You may find bedbug droppings and eggs in them - these books will have to be destroyed, otherwise the treatment will not bring the desired result;
9. Paintings, carpets, photo frames - everything should be removed. Cornices and curtains too, because... they may contain bedbug eggs. It is also necessary to tear off baseboards and pieces of wallpaper - parasites can be everywhere;
10. Food products (both long-term and bulk) should be placed in the refrigerator. It must be carefully closed, and the products must be inspected in advance;
11. If you have a small child, look through his toys in advance, rinse them with hot water and take them with you. To prevent toys from getting into the baby’s mouth after treatment.

Residents must understand how seriously and carefully they must take all of the above rules. And clearly understand how to properly prepare an apartment for disinfestation against bedbugs. Remember, all accessible and inaccessible places in your home should be open.

Why is it necessary to exterminate cockroaches?

It is a misconception to think that insects appear only in unscrupulous owners. They can come crawling from neighbors, appear with new furniture from the store, or arrive in a suitcase from vacation. The danger of their arrival is that one female can produce up to 300 cockroaches in a month. Insects require water to exist, but they can eat anything, including paper and garbage.

Why is it necessary to exterminate cockroaches? It’s unpleasant when they crawl around the apartment, leaving black dots everywhere with a nasty smell. The main reasons for exterminating parasites are their capabilities:

• carry infectious diseases;
• spoil food;
• provoke skin pathologies;
• spread harmful bacteria, worm eggs;
• disrupt the operation of household appliances;
• endanger small children;
• provoke allergies.
