How to get rid of cockroaches once and for all. 5 effective tips
The presence of cockroaches in the house sometimes does not mean at all that the owners of the apartment are dysfunctional people with the status of "dirty". This type of insect sets its own laws even in the tidiest territory, if they notice at least one chance for their invasion. And such indicators, as it turns out, are many!
Good afternoon dear friends!
And the most amazing thing is that cockroaches are endowed with family and friendly values, and therefore they will 100% lead a whole "army" of friends and relatives. This means that the elimination of a single copy will not be followed by the final liquidation of their colony. And this fact sometimes confirms and justifies the "helplessness" of seemingly effective chemical means to get rid of them. Cockroaches are agile and persistent, but people are wiser and more resourceful! And to confirm this fact, I picked up 5 effective methods to control these insects.
By the way, if you live in an apartment, try to involve your neighbors in this event! After all, only by joint efforts it will be possible to eliminate these "greyhounds" insects.
1.General cleaning in the kitchen and in the house. Although the advice does not shine with its novelty, it is still worth starting with it! And first of all, pay attention to the kitchen! Since not only you visit her for eating, but cockroaches run into this room in the first place. Move the stove and, if possible, the furniture in it. Sweep crumbs, bits of food, etc. from all the nooks, because they are the main bait for these insects. Clean the countertop, back of the refrigerator and microwave. Plus a bread bin, toaster and baking sheet in the oven. Leave no chance for insects for potential gluttony!
Don't forget about the adjacent rooms too! Especially if there are children, animals in the house, or you yourself are a fan of snacks outside the dinner table. Sofa and mattress seams, carpets, pillows, etc. Each of these "objects" can store food supplies for cockroaches.
2.Search and elimination of leaks. This is also an extremely important event. After all, cockroaches prefer to live and breed in humid places! Therefore, carry out a plumbing audit: open the taps and make sure there are no leaks. Is the flush bowl or toilet leaking? Is there water under the bathtub or under the kitchen set? And if so, then try to fix the leak!
After all, even the smallest drop on the floor, under the sink or bathtub can become the center of attraction for these insects.
3.Colony search. It is said on a large scale, but this is really not an easy "operation"! Cockroaches love to play hide and seek. They organize their hideouts in closet corners, shopping bags, magazine bales, and shoe boxes.
Therefore, carefully study all the rooms, things and secret places in your house, and you will definitely expose them!
4.Setting and testing traps. Don't deny yourself the purchase of 10 or even 15-20 traps at a time! And don't put them in a back drawer for consistent use. Catch insects with all the baits at once. Under sinks and bathtubs, under a cupboard or seating area, on shelves or in a corner... Spread traps all along the baseboard and behind the kitchen unit. The more intense this "hunt" is, the more chances you have of getting rid of these annoying insects.
The main thing is to arrange such raids regularly in order to identify the centers of the cockroach congestion in time.
5.Folk recipes. They are sometimes much more effective than commercial chemical traps. And they cost a penny! For example, how about spreading cucumber slices on a saucer and placing them in the intended habitat of cockroaches? Or try soaking cotton pads with lavender oil and placing them on clothing shelves. The scent of lavender is pleasant to humans. But insects are of the opposite opinion! Therefore, they will quickly leave their nest.
You can also dilute vinegar with water in equal proportions, pour the resulting solution into a spray bottle and spray it on the walls of kitchen cabinets and baseboards. The pungent smell will scare away insects. And it is quite possible that forever!
