Roaches will destroy the reputation of a viable business in months says commercial pest control

SEATTLE - May 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Business Commercial Cockroach control service

The standard method of treating for cockroaches has been to spray insecticides on baseboards and in cupboards, with the hope that cockroaches will crawl across the band of dried insecticide and the residue left from the application will kill the pests.This type of treatment is not very effective. Reasons why include:

Cockroaches do not live behind baseboards, but live in dark, damp locations near food and water sources. Efforts to locate and treat these hiding places are much more effective.

Insecticides are not 100 percent effective and, unless efforts are made to reduce food, water and harborage, populations of the prolific German cockroach are likely to rebound.

Cockroaches species, including the German cockroach, have developed insecticidal resistance to many insecticides.

Most insecticidal sprays, especially aerosol treatments, don't have much residual activity. This is also true of "bomb" type applications.

Tools and Tips for Success:German Cockroaches Feeding

It is possible to eradicate cockroaches, but effort and persistence must be greater than the reproductive rate. To be successful, a multi-tactic approach must be used. This means not relying on a single strategy (like sprays), but using several types of control tactics.

Sanitation efforts alone (eliminating food, water, harborage) may not be enough to eliminate a cockroach problem, but will reduce the population and make other control efforts work better.

Getting rid of clutter is extremely important.

Eliminating water and food will make roaches move farther to obtain them and come into contact with baits and other control tactics.

Cleaning cupboards and under/around appliances is important. Keep a vacuum cleaner handy. Vacuuming roaches is an easy way to make a dent in the population. Just be sure to take the vacuum cleaner bag outside afterwards.

Because roaches usually travel pretty close to the hiding areas, use sticky traps (glue boards) to see where roaches are hiding. Replace the  glue boards when the surface is covered with roaches. Over time, glue boards will indicate how well controls are working and identify new infestations.

The biggest improvement in controlling cockroaches in recent years is the availability of effective bait products. These are available in small plastic containers (bait stations) or as a dispensable gel. Baits use fipronil, hydamethylnon, boric acid or abamectin as their active ingredient. Use gel baits (best) or bait stations in areas where roaches are caught on sticky traps. Bait areas where roach specks are found�these are locations where roaches spend a lot of time.

Home and business low toxic  approaches to getting rid of cockroaches  include:

Use boric acid dusts in wall voids or under appliances. Boric acid, used alone, isn't terribly effective, but a good supplementary treatment. When roaches walk through it, it sticks to their body. They ingest it as they groom themselves and it is a slow-acting stomach poison.

Dusts of silica dioxide or diatomaceous earth kill roaches by abrading their waxy cuticle and desiccating them. Use these in wall voids.

Use cold or hot temperatures to kill roaches. If roaches get into electronic appliances, bag them and put them in the freezer overnight.
