The matter of killing cockroaches,
The earth method is not comparable to cockroach medicine.
What you lack is not necessarily an effective cockroach medicine,
Knowledge may be used correctly.
Cockroaches are carriers of a variety of pathogens and an important trigger for allergies and asthma, and are the main health pests in urban households. How to carry out family cockroach eradication is a clichéd problem. Many people are confused about how cockroaches can not be eliminated, to effectively carry out family cockroach eradication, first of all, we must find a scientific solution.
The earth method is not comparable to cockroach medicine
Nowadays, there are many anti-cockroach secrets on the Internet, such as washing powder cockroach removal, soda cockroach removal method, boric acid mopping anti-cockroach method, cucumber slices repellent cockroaches, fresh oleander leaves repellent cockroaches, onion cockroach repellent, sugar water bottle cockroach catching method, tung oil cockroach catching method, etc., gathering folk wisdom. Unfortunately, these native methods may have a little effect on cockroaches, but it is difficult to completely eradicate cockroaches.
The best way to eradicate cockroaches completely is to use cockroach medicine. The anti-cockroach effect of drugs specially developed for cockroach control is incomparable to the folk soil method. At present, China's cockroach control drug production technology is mature, and there is no shortage of good cockroach control drugs on the market, but it often lacks the knowledge and methods of correct use.
There are so many cockroach pills, how to choose
We used to spray a large number of contact killers to prevent cockroaches, the disadvantage of which is that it may cause indoor chemical pesticide pollution, so home cockroach control is not recommended. Home cockroach control we generally recommend cockroach bait.
According to the statistics of China Pesticide Information Network, as of August 2020, there are 915 sanitary insecticide products that can kill cockroaches in China, of which 198 are cockroach poison bait products, accounting for 21.6% of the cockroach varieties. Cockroach poison bait products include bait, glue bait, bait particles, bait paste, bait powder and other dosage forms. These stomach poison baits use cockroaches to actively feed and apply drugs at a fixed point, which we collectively call cockroach baits here. Cockroach repellents are highly efficient in killing cockroaches and have little environmental impact, and have gradually become the main means of cockroach control.
So, how to choose the right product? Researchers have done experiments, selected 7 kinds of domestic and imported cockroach baits from the market for laboratory evaluation and research, and observed and judged 8 quality evaluation indicators from palatability, moisture retention, difficulty of point application, adhesion, formability, post-exposure form, color and corrosion resistance. Finally, it was found that the 48-hour cockroach killing rate of 7 kinds of cockroach glue bait was 100%, which reached the national standard A-level evaluation standard.
Therefore, in terms of effect, the family cockroach single does not mean that imported drugs are necessarily better than domestic drugs. Domestic mainstream products, most of the cockroach killing effect is guaranteed. Regardless of whether it is a domestic drug or an imported drug, the family cockroach must first be used correctly in accordance with the instructions, and the cockroach bait agent is applied to the cockroach habitat, and the cockroach problem can basically be solved.
There are also a number of other household cockroach control products, including insecticide aerosols, cockroach smoke bombs, etc. Insecticidal aerosols are generally not recommended for the eradication of domestic cockroaches, as aerosols are only effective when sprayed on cockroaches. If you can't spray all cockroaches, it will lead to incomplete cockroach extermination.
Cockroach smoke bombs are a very powerful method of killing cockroaches, which is specially prepared for people who hate cockroaches to the bone. Smoke bombs are used when the smoke billows, the smell is large, choking throat, spicy eyes, the smoke is dispersed, the room will also leave a faint smell of smoke, and only for places with small space and good sealing. This method only has a quick effect, and the effect is better against cockroaches. But cockroaches that may be hidden deeper may not be destroyed.
The injection of drugs to kill cockroaches should be targeted
When using cockroach bait to trap cockroaches, the first thing to do is to find where the cockroaches are hiding. This is the most critical step in killing cockroaches, otherwise the medication is untargeted, and it is difficult to completely eliminate cockroaches. At home, cockroaches generally appear in the kitchen, turn on the light at night, you can see a lot of cockroaches moving on the stove, floor or wall, and almost invisible during the day, so where are cockroaches hidden?
Cockroaches generally hide in cabinets, gaps in the back of the counter, some small appliances will also hide cockroaches, sockets, wire slots around the cockroaches like to gather. When there are many cockroaches, there may also be cockroaches in various gaps such as door frame gaps, wall gaps, and hanging cabinets hanging on the wall. Find the place where the cockroaches are hiding and then use the medicine, and the effect of killing cockroaches will be better.
Cockroach baits have a certain appeal to cockroaches, but they are definitely not as exaggerated as advertised - putting poison bait anywhere in the room can attract all cockroaches. This is not possible, and the bait must be placed in the cockroach habitat to achieve a good killing effect. Usually, cockroaches have plenty of food and water near their habitat, and they live a well-fed life. If you don't bring cockroach medicine to the cockroaches' mouths, the chances of them getting poison bait are slim.
It has always been emphasized that cockroaches should do a good job in indoor hygiene, in fact, in order to reduce the food source of cockroaches, even if the drug is not in place, it can force cockroaches to eat. But if you can find the cockroach's habitat and be able to deliver the bait to its mouth, the cockroach does not need much activity to easily eat, then the effect of killing cockroaches is better.
Don't be too impatient to kill cockroaches
The "chain reaction" of cockroach drugs is often exaggerated by manufacturers. The so-called "chain reaction" is that after the cockroach eats the cockroach bait and dies, other cockroaches eat the dead cockroach carcass, which will cause secondary poisoning. In the actual scene of cockroach extermination, there is basically no phenomenon that a cockroach eats poisonous bait, and the whole nest of cockroaches dies. The reason for this statement is that in the case of insufficient food, cockroaches will eat the corpses of dead companions, and cockroach medicine has the effect of causing secondary poisoning. But the reality is that where cockroaches appear in large numbers, it is impossible to have insufficient food.
Different cockroach baits, if the active ingredients are not the same, the insecticidal mechanism is different, and the death rate of cockroaches is also different. Some cockroaches will die in an hour or two, and some will take three or five days to appear cockroach carcasses. No matter which cockroach bait is used, the cockroaches will basically not be eliminated quickly after taking the drug, and it generally takes more than two weeks. During the use of cockroach bait, you can live a normal life with basically no effect.
In the case of more cockroaches, after using cockroach bait, it is easy to find cockroach carcasses. However, if there are not many cockroaches in the house, and only one is occasionally seen, the body of the cockroach may not be seen in this case. In addition, cockroaches hide in hidden places most of the day, and they will not die on the spot after coming out to take medicine, so most of them die in hidden places after poisoning. Therefore, the effect of cockroach extermination cannot be evaluated by whether or not cockroach carcasses are seen. As long as the live cockroaches no longer appear, then our control purpose has been achieved.
