Black cockroaches in the apartment: how to get rid forever, 3 methods

Cockroaches have long loved to settle in the warm dwellings of people.

It is enough to notice at least once in the closet of one small cockroach and you can be sure that an entire army of these terrible pests will soon appear in the house! Unfortunately, even regular cleaning with the use of household chemicals will not protect our house from their invasion. What to do? Is it possible to get rid of black cockroaches once and for all? Let's figure it out together.

Where do cockroaches come from?

Large black cockroaches can appear in the house for several reasons. The most obvious ones are:

• Garments. Things that were brought from travels or business trips, clothes of acquaintances who live with cockroaches in an apartment.
• Food. Poorly processed vegetables and fruits can be full of insects.
• Sewage and garbage disposal

• From grocery stores and cafes on the first floors of the house. Frequent disinfection in such places causes insects to rise to the upper floors through ventilation.

It is important to note that domestic cockroaches are completely picky about food. Special chewing apparatus allows them to eat even solid food, and the specific structure of the intestine can digest even the most inedible objects.

Let's understand what they eat:

• Food products (especially sweets);
• Leftovers on unwashed dishes;

Increased humidity near washing and food waste is an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches.

• Bread crumbs;
• Household waste;
• Inedible items: shoe polish, wiring, wallpaper, newspaper, soap, etc.

The black cockroach suffers many dangerous diseases for humans: helminthiasis, diphtheria, dysentery, typhoid fever... and this is not the whole list. Therefore, finding these insects, you should immediately take measures to destroy them.

Cockroaches absorb not only edible products, they do not disdain paper, newspapers and even shoe polish.

Ways to eliminate

There are many recommendations for the removal of cockroaches. All methods of struggle are distinguished by their efficiency and laboriousness. You can get rid of black cockroaches:

• Folk remedies;
• Mechanical and heat treatment;
• Chemistry.

To get rid of cockroaches, it will take a lot of time and several ways.

Method 1. Folk remedies

Find out how to get insects using folk methods. There are two main ways:

1. Natural repellent. You need to take plants with a pungent smell (laurel, elderberry, orange peel) and decompose into places where large cockroaches live.

The sharp and pungent plant odor should scare off insects.

1. Boric acid + egg. You can use a mixture of these ingredients. Mix 1 packet of acid with boiled yolk of one chicken egg, and spread the resulting gruel in places of insect accumulation.

The parasites will entice the smell of yolk, and boric acid will act as a poison.

It is important to note that these two methods are far from the most effective. I recommend using them if there are animals and small children in the apartment.

Method 2 Mechanical and heat treatment

Mechanical method implies that all parasites need to manually catch and kill. The effectiveness of this method is questionable, since large black cockroaches lead an active lifestyle only at night and under the light of a flashlight they begin to hide in the cracks.

The mechanical method will not be able to save the apartment from young individuals and larvae.

Heat treatment: cockroaches are terribly afraid of cold, and already at a temperature of -10 ° C will die. Therefore, you can get rid of parasites, if you cool the room. To do this, you need to wait for a hard frost outside, open all the windows and doors wide open and leave the apartment for a day.

Method 3 Chemistry

Consider how to get rid of cockroaches with different chemicals. Instructions for each method are presented in the table:

Picture	Recommendations
	Method 1. Spray It is necessary to spray the product from a balloon in places of insects. Be sure to wear a mask to protect the respiratory tract. The effectiveness of this tool is very high, but the price of a can is artificially high.
	Method 2 Glue and gel These substances are squeezed out on special stands or on plain paper and placed in the corners. Insects eat these funds and die from food poisoning. Glues and gels are much more accessible in comparison with sprays and not dangerous for humans.
	Method 3. Dusta Chalk (powder) is used to protect the premises from the invasion of new parasites. It is enough to outline the means of the most popular paths of cockroaches and wait for their action.
	Method 4. Traps May have a different principle of action: electrodes, insecticide inside, bait and closing mechanism. It is necessary to expand the traps in the places of the appearance of cockroaches and leave for some time. Manufacturers claim that no large cockroach will survive the trap.

If you have a huge insect invasion in your apartment, I recommend not to waste time and call an insecticidal service.

Professionals will be able to cope with all types of parasites in a short time.
