Everything about exterminating cockroaches

How many cockroaches can there be in an apartment at the same time? It is impossible to count these “runners”. They reproduce at an incredible rate, so it’s not worth wasting time on using folk remedies. It is also better not to try to kill cockroaches in an apartment the “old grandfather’s way” using kerosene or karbofos, such actions can only aggravate the situation. And it is not known who will get poisoned faster in this case, you or the cockroaches. In addition to baiting, it is necessary to disinfect the premises from cockroaches, which is also impossible to do on your own.

Proper extermination of cockroaches and bedbugs

There is no point in fighting cockroaches on your own. Those repellents that are sold in stores are not able to completely get rid of “uninvited guests” from apartment owners. These chemicals are weak, outdated, disappear immediately, it is impossible to treat the entire home with them, but at the same time they are extremely toxic and harmful to the health of its inhabitants. Moreover, having experienced the effects of these “miracle insecticides,” cockroaches forever acquire resistance to them, passing it on to subsequent generations.

For this reason, when deciding what and how to poison cockroaches in an apartment, low price should not be in the foreground. In any case, the cost of self-destruction and treatment of spoiled health will far exceed the cost of inviting SES professionals.

It is advisable to call a cockroach extermination service as soon as possible. If treated in a timely manner, they can be dealt with in just one go. In case of great neglect or unsanitary condition of the apartment, repeated intervention may sometimes be required. However, thanks to the skill of the craftsmen and the high efficiency of the drugs used, the need to disinfest the premises from cockroaches a second time is minimized. But all the same, you should not bring your home to a critical condition, if only for the reason that these “dwellers of garbage dumps” negatively affect the health of the residents. Therefore, it is better to call a specialist as quickly as possible.

For disinfestation of premises, specialists use professional equipment - cold fog generators “DH-50”, “Bure”, hot fog generators “Minifog”.

The method of treating an object using hot fog is based on the fact that upon contact with air whose temperature reaches 100 degrees, insects die instantly. The room treatment equipment generates steam with dissolved insecticide. Small particles easily penetrate into all hard-to-reach spots - corners, cracks in the floor, space under the baseboard and cabinet. Due to high temperature the fog quickly rises to the ceiling, providing disinfection of the chandelier and lamp.

The cold fog generator sprays the insecticide in the form of an aerosol. This allows you to treat large areas using a minimum amount of pesticides. The small size of the sprayed particles ensures their penetration into all cracks, holes, corners and others hard to reach places. The substance continues to act for several hours after the procedure. This guarantees high efficiency and death maximum number cockroaches

Disinsection (extermination of insects)

prices for legal entities

MosGorSES has been treating premises against cockroaches for several years. We have great experience work, and therefore we know exactly how to get rid of insects forever and as quickly as possible. SES is one of best companies, which offers you effective disposal of cockroaches in Moscow and the region. In our work we use the best means and the most modern methods. Insects are killed by using cold or hot fog.

The use of cold fog is suitable in cases with small area infection. With this method, some cockroaches die during treatment, and some die for some time after disinfestation. This method is quite popular because the preparations are odorless and do not harm furniture, human health or pets.

You can often come across the opinion that only special insect control services, whose employees treat apartments, houses and industrial enterprises powerful toxic drugs using complex and expensive equipment. There is also an opinion that it is almost impossible for a simple apartment owner to carry out such a “disinfection” of a room from cockroaches on his own, and he will not get the desired result.

Let's see how the situation really is.

Pest control can be professional, when it is carried out by trained specialists, as well as independent, when cockroaches are poisoned by the residents of the premises themselves.

Alas, practice shows that there is another type of pest control - fraudulent. Under it, unscrupulous businessmen pose as exterminator specialists (and often as disinfectors), who at market prices imitate work on removing cockroaches, but do not provide the required result. There are also more egregious cases when, during “disinfection,” the handlers simply take jewelry or money from the apartment with them. There are many such scammers today, and further we will figure out how they can be easily identified even before work is carried out.

In the meantime, the following can be noted:

1. Fighting cockroaches on your own allows you to save money, but is more troublesome, unsafe, and in advanced cases does not always give the desired result;
2. Professional disinsection is much more expensive than doing it yourself, does not require homeowners to participate in the process, is practically safe for residents (including pets) and in most cases is quite effective. The main drawback here is the difficulty of choosing a conscientious and truly reliable contractor who will provide the desired result and give a guarantee for it (not a fake one, as many do today, but a real guarantee for free re-processing if the first one does not produce results).

“We ordered disinfection of the apartment from cockroaches. This is some kind of horror - rudeness on the phone, zero results and lost money. According to their price list, it costs 2,000 rubles to treat a one-room apartment, the master comes and says that you need to use a super product for 5,000, otherwise it won’t help. Okay, paid, processed. The cockroaches did not notice the poison at all; that same night they ran around the kitchen. We call them and say, how is this possible? They answer that no one will ever give a guarantee for disinfection, and if you don’t like something, contact another service. Repeated departure from them is 800 rubles in St. Petersburg. I immediately understand that on the spot this will turn into a couple of thousand. In general, an outright scam!”

Principles, means and methods of pest control against cockroaches

Means for exterminating cockroaches today are quite varied. These insects readily eat various poisoned baits, stick to glue, and die from the action of insecticidal crayons, aerosols and all kinds of dusts (insecticides in powder form).

However, choose effective remedy from cockroaches is only half the battle. A large number of inexperienced cockroach fighters, even when purchasing a powerful poison, do not achieve the desired effect due to a number of errors during disinfestation.

Here's how professional exterminators work:

1. For processing we use modern insecticides, which, in addition to the acute intestinal effect, also have a contact effect (that is, it is enough for a cockroach to come into contact with the drug for paralysis and then death to occur after some time). The insecticide is applied in the form of an aerosol by spraying a pre-prepared solution using sprayers or installations for generating so-called cold or hot fog. It is the aerosol that allows you to quickly destroy cockroaches in an apartment, even in hard-to-reach places. In addition to aerosols, gels, dusts and glue traps are used (mainly for preventive purposes to destroy single surviving individuals);
   
   
2. All rooms where cockroaches may be present are treated, including balconies, toilets, and bathrooms. Removing cockroaches, for example, only in the kitchen would be pointless;
3. A corollary from the previous point - ideally, cockroaches should be removed from all neighboring apartments. In practice, this can be difficult to achieve due to the traditional intractability of neighbors. Classics of the genre are statements of this type: “We don’t need any disinfection from cockroaches, and in general, everything is clean here, we’re not some kind of homeless people.” Therefore, after disinfestation, premises owners are strongly recommended to take measures to protect their homes from the re-infiltration of cockroaches from their neighbors. Below we will look at ways to protect an apartment in this way;
4. Effective disinfestation against cockroaches is always carried out in the absence of all residents and pets in the apartment (and not just in one room). The exception is the presence of the customer if he has personal protective equipment. This, by the way, is one of the ways to identify a one-day service: if a “disinfector specialist” says that he will simply spray the solution in the kitchen, and all you need to do is close the door here, then with a high probability, after such work, the epic with cockroaches will not end;
5. To prevent the re-breeding of cockroaches in an apartment, it is extremely important to determine exactly how they get here. A specialist can interview the owners, inspect the bathroom, toilet, entrance, balcony, and look for ways for insects to enter through balconies or closets. Without blocking such paths, it is impossible to guarantee that cockroaches will not appear in the apartment in the future, and good services always provide such a guarantee.

Thus, when disinfesting an apartment, service employees use a complex of means and methods of control. The bulk of the population is destroyed by aerosol. Those cockroaches that survive are poisoned with gels, dusts, or fall into traps. Entrances to the apartment for new arrivals are blocked, and those that cannot be blocked are surrounded by means of passive barrier protection - these can be strips of insecticidal chalk, strips of gel or trails of dust.

It is this comprehensive approach that is most effective in practice.

And now, for comparison, how we often fight cockroaches on our own. On the way home, I buy a can of Dichlorvos at a hardware store with the goal of quickly spraying it along the baseboards and behind the kitchen stove. That's it, this completes the entire disinfestation. If Dichlorvos does not help, then in a week or two some kind of gel can be purchased. It's no surprise that cockroaches will thrive indoors with this approach.

We catch cockroaches and test for them different means- see the results...

“...I really liked how the guys worked. All the cockroaches were destroyed in one go, leaving no dirt or stains on the furniture. Just a slight smell of chemicals in the apartment and a bunch of dead cockroaches all over the floor the next morning. Payment was strictly according to the price list, everything was according to the contract, in the end everything turned out to be quite affordable...”

What means do exterminators use to poison cockroaches?

As noted above, exterminators carry out the main treatment of the apartment with aerosol insecticides. The beauty of these drugs is that they enter the most inaccessible places with the air, where they actively poison cockroaches. This allows you to destroy the bulk of the insect population (sometimes all) in just a few hours.

Sinuzan, Avicin, Averfos, Xulat, Tetrix, Solfak, Forssyth and others are used as such insecticides. These are concentrates. Many of them are approved for use only by specialists, and therefore are sold in large packages of a liter or more.

Working solutions are prepared from concentrates.

Different methods are used to spray the solution in an apartment:

1. Spraying with a conventional sprayer is the simplest, but low-productivity method of spraying; it requires painstaking spraying of all surfaces, crevices and possible hiding places for cockroaches;
2. Treatment of the room with cold fog - in this case the solution is dispersed in electric generator fog to the state of a thin aerosol, which is then removed from the apparatus under pressure. Mixing with air, the aerosol easily penetrates into various cracks, holes, and spaces behind furniture;
   
3. Hot fog treatment is fundamentally similar to the previous method, but in the hot fog generator the aerosol is also heated. Due to this, it has a smaller particle size, stays in suspension longer without settling on surfaces, and, as a result, penetrates into even deeper and more difficult-to-reach shelters of cockroaches. However, it should be noted that hot fog generators are rarely used in small apartments. This powerful equipment is better suited for disinfestation at large industrial facilities.
   

After such treatment, in those places through which cockroaches can enter the apartment from neighboring rooms, the exterminator usually either pours insecticidal powder (in common parlance - dust) or installs bait houses. A gel can be applied here, or a glue trap can be installed, depending on what the specialist considers more rational.

If a warranty case occurs (that is, cockroaches reappear after disinfestation), the specialist can use the same methods when re-processing. In practice, conscientious services do not guarantee the absence of cockroaches in cases where it is obvious that these pests en masse and freely enter the apartment from neighbors.

Where to go for professional pest control?

The most difficult thing when ordering the services of professional exterminators is choosing a reliable company. Moreover, in major cities this can be especially difficult to do: there are dozens of different organizations working here, among which are, let’s say, cunning disinfectors.

However, there are a number simple rules, allowing you to avoid the services of fly-by-night companies even at the selection stage:

Next, remember that on the Internet and when talking on the phone, all companies can be white and fluffy, and their true colors are revealed only when the work is completed (and especially after, when money for pest control against cockroaches has already been paid). Therefore, follow the principle “chairs in the morning, money in the evening.”

Namely:

1. Immediately upon arrival of the exterminator, ask him for all the documents - a contract, a license for pest control services, certificates for the chemicals used;
2. Check that the contract is stamped and the adequate conditions for providing the guarantee are clearly stated;
3. Check the tools yourself. If the exterminator has provided you with a certificate for Tetrix, he should have Tetrix, and not a canister without a label with a cloudy liquid;
4. Monitor the progress of disinfestation (wearing personal protective equipment), the thoroughness of surface treatment and the duration of all work. Keep in mind that a twenty-minute cleaning of the kitchen cabinet and cabinet under the sink is not enough to completely eliminate cockroaches in the room.

And remember: you pay only for the result and only when you see it. Do not give the exterminator money before work. The exterminator must conscientiously treat the entire apartment - only after that does it make sense to pay him.

“A year ago we disinfected against cockroaches. Two guys arrived and said that there should be no one in the apartment for a day after the treatment, and that we would need to spend the night in another place. From the refrigerator you need to remove everything that is eaten without heat treatment - sausage, cheese, cookies, bread. They closed all the windows, sprayed something for half an hour, then took the money and left. The next morning we came to ventilate and saw a cemetery of cockroaches. There were a lot of them, I didn’t even think that we had so many of them in our apartment! There were even a lot of them in the bedrooms. After that, we haven’t had any cockroaches yet...”

The work of exterminators: how it happens, how much it costs, what you need to be prepared for

Standard prices for pest control against cockroaches start at approximately 1,500 rubles per one-room apartment. Processing costs about 1700 two-room apartment, 2000 - three-room. Depending on the set of guarantees and some other nuances, the price may vary significantly.

For example, this is what the average price list of a company operating in Moscow looks like:

Apartments		Cottages
Room size	Price, rub.	Room size, sq. m	Price, rub.
1-room apartment	1500	100	3100
2-room apartment	1700	100-200	3400
3-room apartment	1900	200-300	3700
4-room apartment	2100	300-400	4000
5-room apartment	2200	More than 400	Negotiable

As a rule, the company manager receives basic information over the phone when calling the service. However, in some cases, before the actual disinfestation, a specialist comes to the site to assess the situation on site.

Often exterminators immediately arrive for treatment with a sufficient supply of drugs and equipment to cope with cockroaches even in the most dire situations.

Immediately before disinfestation, an agreement is signed, after which:

After this, wet cleaning and thorough ventilation are carried out by the residents themselves, after which they can return to the apartment for normal life. As a rule, the smell in the room practically disappears after a few hours of ventilation, although the smell from upholstered furniture It may take several days to evaporate.

If you don’t delay with wet cleaning, then there will be no stains either on the furniture or on household appliances won't remain.

Note

Sometimes people complain of an unpleasant metallic taste in their mouth after pest control. This is a sign that the insecticide has not completely disappeared from the apartment. Normally, such sensations should not arise on the first or second day after thorough cleaning and intensive ventilation.

During treatment, most of the cockroach population dies. Within a few hours after treatment, insects that were able to hide in the most secluded places die, and therefore, by the time of ventilation, there should be practically no live cockroaches in the house.

In some cases, it may be necessary to re-treat the premises against cockroaches. Typically, such cases are provided for in the contract as part of the guarantee. Be that as it may, this point must be discussed in advance, since even the most professional processing does not give results in 100% of cases. If, a few days after treatment, live cockroaches are found in the apartment, you can call the exterminators and call them under warranty.

When working with unscrupulous contractors, warranty visits are often offered for an additional fee. If before disinfestation you signed an agreement in which it was stated that re-treatment is carried out free of charge, feel free to request free re-treatment.

“There are scammers all around! We ordered a company to disinfect the hostel; we needed to kill cockroaches in several rooms. Immediately upon arrival, the master began to tell us that we definitely needed some kind of barrier, and without it the cockroaches would return. The barrier costs as much as the treatment itself. As a result, cockroaches were seen for another month after disinfection, constantly appearing throughout the hostel, and then again there were as many of them as before. We called about the guarantee, they told us - the guarantee is 800 rubles only for departure. Horror!"

Do-it-yourself pest control using aerosols and concentrates

Self-treatment of a room from cockroaches is not fundamentally different from a professional one. The only difference is in the details:

1. For disinsection, preparations are used that are specially adapted for household use (in small packaging, odorless). The most popular of them today are Get, Delta Zone, Lambda Zone, Xulat Micro and some others. These products leave virtually no odor in the room and remain effective for several weeks (when applied to surfaces inaccessible to people and pets, where wet cleaning is not carried out);
   
2. As an alternative to concentrated preparations, you can buy products in cans that are ready for spraying (Dichlorvos Neo, Raptor for crawling insects, Combat Superspray, etc.). However, their use is financially more expensive with the same efficiency;
3. To spray the insecticidal solution, ordinary household spray bottles are used (you can even just take a bottle of window cleaner).

Otherwise, disinfestation should proceed in the same way as a professional one. The task of the owner of the premises is to thoroughly treat with the product all surfaces on which cockroaches can move, and also to achieve penetration of the aerosol into those places where insects can hide.

After treatment, the room is closed for several hours, then ventilated, cleaned, and dead cockroaches are swept out.

Typically, self-disinsection requires at least 5-6 hours of time (taking into account the preparation of the room and putting it in order). After using aerosol insecticides, additional means of passive destruction protect the room from the penetration of new insects.

“We were seduced by the company’s beautiful website and ordered the extermination of cockroaches from my grandmother’s apartment. After 2 hours the master was with her, everything seemed fine. But then it started: the master declares that the work will cost not 2200, as the manager said, but 10,000. This is for a one-room apartment! We called the manager, she was surprised and said that she didn’t know why the master was behaving this way. This “master” somehow sprayed something in the kitchen in 15 minutes, grabbed the money and disappeared. He left no receipts or contract. We started calling, figuring it out, and what do you think? No one has answered the phone in the office for three days!”

Additional means of killing cockroaches: gels, traps, powders and pencils

Often, the success of the entire pest control operation depends on whether these means are used or not.

The most common means of passively killing cockroaches are:

1. Gels are products that attract cockroaches with their smell. They contain insecticides that lead to the rapid death of the insect after entering digestive tract. In the fight against cockroaches, the insecticidal gels Globol, Absolute, Raptor, Dohlox and a number of others have proven themselves well;
2. Insecticidal pencils (crayons). Less effective than gels, but more affordable, easy to use and remain effective longer without updating. Of these, the most popular are Clean House, Mashenka, Brownie, Titanic, etc.;
   
3. Dusts - Ecokiller, Clean House, Fas, Green House, Pyrethrum ( natural remedy based on dried chamomile flowers);
   
4. Traps (glue and electric). Insects die in them, running in by accident or being attracted by the bait placed inside.
   

All of these products can also be used as basic means of pest control, but they act slowly, so it will take a long time to destroy a large population of cockroaches.

The best option for self-disinfestation is to quickly destroy the majority of cockroaches using aerosol insecticides, and then consolidate the result using gels and traps.

Blocking cockroaches from entering the apartment

If disinfestation is carried out by specialists, they can tell you which ways cockroaches usually get into the apartment. As a rule, the “entry gates” are:

1. Sewage pipes, cold and hot water supply - between them and the concrete there are usually narrow gaps through which cockroaches migrate between rooms;
2. Sockets from which cockroaches can enter the apartment not only from neighbors, but also from the entrance;
3. Ventilation;
4. Window frames and door frames (where they meet the walls).

First of all, it is better to block such penetration paths - putty or cover them with elastic sealant.

If for some reason it is not possible to completely block such passages, then you can apply cockroach gel near them or set up glue traps. Be that as it may, you need to do everything possible to ensure that insects either cannot physically enter the apartment, or with a high probability die immediately after entering it.

It can also be useful to write a complaint to the SES if cockroaches constantly live in the entrance, basement, or attic apartment building or, for example, in a restaurant attached to the house. Several such complaints from residents at the same address - and the SES responds quite quickly, carrying out disinfestation in the premises.

The situation is more complicated when the breeding ground for cockroaches is residential apartment dysfunctional neighbors. But even in this case, the problem can be resolved by collective complaints to the SES.

However, practice shows that if an apartment is carefully protected from insects entering it from the outside, then even if the entire apartment building is completely infested, pests will not be able to establish a population there.
