Rating of the best cockroach remedies in 2022

The appearance of cockroaches indoors is not uncommon. Sometimes this is the fault of the residents themselves. Everyone knows what harm cockroaches do, and therefore the fight against them is a rather relevant topic, especially given the vitality and fertility of these insects. Recently, thanks to modern technologies, the number of pests has decreased in comparison with past eras, but both private houses and multi-storey buildings still suffer from their invasion.

Why do cockroaches appear in the house?

Cockroaches are attracted to houses by the following factors:

1. free access to food and water;
2. an abundance of old unnecessary things where insects can find shelter;
3. suitable temperature conditions;
4. long delay of garbage in the bucket;
5. scattered crumbs and cereals;
6. a layer of fat in the space next to the stove;
7. lack of mosquito nets and baseboards in the apartment, dry floors and window sills with many cracks;
8. leaving a dirty wet rag next to the sink;
9. leakage in water supply and sewerage systems;
10. lack of gratings with small cells on the ventilation system.

Before you fight cockroaches with chemicals, you must eliminate the above factors.

There are folk remedies for pest control and one of the most effective, in which you definitely can’t make mistakes when choosing - cleanliness and order in the house, maintaining a good microclimate and technical condition of the house.

Pests can enter the apartment in the following ways:

1. from neighbors who used chemicals to kill parasites, or who were looking for new food sources through cracks in the walls, ventilation network, cable ducts or through-outlet blocks;
2. along with grocery purchases, especially if they are brought from the market - modern warehouses usually use the most effective means and regularly carry out pest control, but private traders often have large quantities of pests in storage;
3. with appliances and other things purchased on the secondary market - a used TV may contain several cockroaches, which can potentially become a large colony;
4. through parcels - online shopping has long become a part of everyday life, but individuals adapted to life can also arrive with them, for the extermination of which a very strong tool will be required;
5. on clothes and shoes - the rarest way to carry pests, but also found. A cockroach can easily be brought by one of the household members who visited an apartment where toxic substances are not used.

What are the chemicals?

Many, when faced with cockroaches in their home, use a chemical control agent, such as an ultrasonic repeller or adhesive tape. Due to the high demand, there is a huge selection of such drugs on store shelves. However, in order to understand how to choose the right one, which company is better to use and which ones are, you need to understand the assortment.

Insecticides are:

1. contact action - the poisonous substance enters the insect, penetrates under its chitinous layer and the poisonous components contained in the agent lead to the death of the animal;
2. contact-intestinal action - they have a complex effect, that is, they not only penetrate the chitinous layer, but also have a detrimental effect when they enter the body through the eaten bait treated with the substance.

Also, funds are divided into:

1. fast-acting - the most effective, according to buyers. These include sprays, aerosols and fumigators. With their help, cockroaches can be destroyed in a couple of hours, and with proper use, even a room heavily saturated with insects will be cleaned. However, even the best remedies of this group do not guarantee absolute elimination of parasites;
2. slow action - this type includes pastes, gels, powders and a variety of traps. These are less popular models.With their help, pests can be removed in a couple of weeks, but with the right approach, parasites can be completely and permanently destroyed.

Despite the popularity of models from individual manufacturers, insecticides have their pros and cons.

Among the advantages:

• quick effect;
• inexpensive;
• mass extermination of pests;
• possibility of application even in hard-to-reach places;
• noticeable result with any number of pests;
• not just repel insects, but destroy;
• can be used as a prevention of the appearance of cockroaches.

Flaws:

• high toxicity to humans;
• it is necessary to use a specialized means of protection;
• the possibility of residual toxic components in the air for a long time after use;
• even the best manufacturers offer tools that require occupant evacuation when applied.

How to choose an effective cockroach insecticide?

In order not to make mistakes, the following selection criteria must be considered:

1. safety for people - all insecticides are thoroughly tested and contain warnings and descriptions of effects on the body on the packaging. If there are children in the house, then it is recommended to choose means with less lethal force.
2. efficiency is one of the main qualities that you should pay attention to. The insecticide must have a mechanism of primary and secondary action on an individual insect and the colony as a whole;
3. validity period - the longer the period of active exposure, the better the effect of the destruction of pests;
4. ease of use and the level of change required in the characteristics of the room - for example, aerosols and smoke bombs can leave a smell in the room for a long time, and microbeads that need to be scattered on shelves also require some change in household habits.
