About "disinfection" from cockroaches and important rules for its implementation in the apartment

(rating: 3.43)

The Moscow Sanitary Service SES is engaged in the destruction of cockroaches in apartments using modern techniques that guarantee complete extermination of insects and a long-term effect. Protect your home from all pest risks!

A clean room that is absolutely livable means not only the absence of visible debris, but also of unwanted neighbors. As a rule, cockroaches become such neighbors, which makes life very difficult for the owners of apartments and houses. We recommend killing cockroaches as soon as the first signs of intruders appear in the room. These insects are not only an external irritant that causes feelings of disgust and resentment, but also dangerous carriers of various diseases, such as salmonellosis, gastroenteritis, asthma and diphtheria. That is why treatment for cockroaches in Moscow is one of the most demanded today.

Insects can appear for completely different reasons - food accumulations in hard-to-reach places (under the kitchen cabinet or behind the stove), the presence of insects in neighbors. They can also come even to a clean room if the attic, basement rooms were processed or when cockroaches were destroyed in the trunks of the garbage chute by the management company. You can protect yourself from sudden guests with the help of a barrier protection (a specialized odorless and colorless gel).

Principles, means and methods of pest control from cockroaches

Means for the destruction of cockroaches today are quite diverse. These insects willingly eat various poisoned baits, stick to glue, die from the action of insecticidal crayons, aerosol agents and all kinds of dusts (insecticides in powder form).

However, choosing an effective remedy for cockroaches is only half the battle. A large number of inexperienced cockroach fighters, even when buying a powerful poison, still do not achieve the desired effect due to a number of mistakes during pest control.

Here's how professional exterminators work:

1. For treatment, modern insecticidal agents are used, which, in addition to an acute intestinal action, also have a contact effect (that is, it is enough for a cockroach to contact the drug so that after a while paralysis occurs, and then death). 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 the apartment, even in hard-to-reach places. In addition to aerosols, gels, dusts and glue traps are used (mainly for preventive purposes for the destruction of single surviving individuals);

   

2. All rooms in which cockroaches can be processed are processed, including balconies, a toilet, a bathroom. Breeding cockroaches, for example, only in the kitchen, would be pointless;
3. A corollary from the previous paragraph - ideally, cockroaches should be displayed in 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 do not need any disinfection from cockroaches, and in general, everything is clean here, we are not some vagabonds." Therefore, after disinsection, the owners of the premises are strongly advised to take measures to protect their home from re-entry of cockroaches from neighbors. Below we will consider ways of such protection of an apartment;
4. Effective pest control from cockroaches is always carried out in the absence of all residents and pets in the apartment (and not just in one room). An 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 “disinfectant specialist” says that he simply sprinkles a solution in the kitchen, and it is enough to just close the door here, then with a high probability after such work the epic with cockroaches will not end;
5. To prevent the reproduction of cockroaches in an apartment, it is extremely important to determine exactly how they get here. The specialist can interrogate the owners, inspect the bathroom, toilet, staircase, balcony, look for ways for insects to penetrate through balconies or closets. Without blocking such paths, it is impossible to give a guarantee that cockroaches will not appear in the apartment in the future, and good services always give such a guarantee.

Thus, when disinfestation in an apartment, service employees use a set of means and methods of struggle. The main part of the population is destroyed by aerosol. Those cockroaches that survived are poisoned with gels, dusts, or get trapped. Entrances to the apartment for newcomers 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 dust tracks.

It is such an integrated approach that is most effective in practice.

And now, for comparison, how often the fight against cockroaches is carried out on their own. On the way home, a can of Dichlorvos is bought at a hardware store in order to quickly pop it along the baseboards and behind the stove. That's it, this is where the whole pest control ends. If Dichlorvos does not help, then in a week or two some gel can be bought. With this approach, it's no surprise that cockroaches will thrive indoors.

Our company offers a full range of services to combat parasites at affordable prices and conditions, with the conclusion of a contract and a guarantee for the work performed! Getting rid of cockroaches is not an easy process, and in most cases, getting rid of a cockroach infestation will require contacting a pest control expert. Cockroaches can exist for up to a year without food, so they remain active even in unoccupied premises. A variety of low-odor sprays, cockroach aerosols can be used to remove cockroaches. These insecticides should be applied in all areas where there are signs of vital activity by cockroaches, as well as in places where they can crawl.

What means exterminate cockroaches

As noted above, disinsectors carry out the main treatment of the apartment with aerosol insecticides. The beauty of these drugs lies in the fact that they get into 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.

Sinusan, Avicin, Averfos, Ksulat, Tetrix, Solfak, Forsyth 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 packs of a liter or more.

Working solutions are prepared from the concentrates.

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

1. Spraying with a conventional sprayer is the simplest, but unproductive method of spraying, it requires painstaking spraying of all surfaces, crevices and places of possible shelter of cockroaches;

   

2. Treatment of a room with cold fog - in this case, the solution is dispersed in an electric fog generator to the state of a fine aerosol, which is then removed from the apparatus under pressure. Mixing with air, the aerosol easily penetrates into various cracks, holes, spaces behind furniture;

   

3. Hot mist treatment is fundamentally similar to the previous method, but in the hot mist generator, the aerosol is also heated. Due to this, it has a smaller particle size, it is in a suspended state longer, without settling on surfaces, and, as a result, it penetrates into even deeper and hard-to-reach cockroach hiding places. However, it should be noted that hot fog generators are rarely used in small apartments. This powerful equipment is better suited for pest control in 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. Here, a gel can be applied, or a glue trap is installed - depending on what the specialist considers more rational.

If a warranty case occurs (that is, cockroaches reappear after disinfestation), a specialist can apply the same methods during re-treatment. In practice, bona fide 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.

Testimonials

Ekaterina, Sochi: “I never thought that I could not cope with cockroaches. It's so easy, it seemed to me, keep the apartment clean, clean up after yourself and everything will be in order. But it was not there. We got the apartment after the death of our mother-in-law - an ordinary Soviet kopeck piece without renovation, but in fair condition. And everything would be fine, but together with us, cockroaches also claimed housing. The mother-in-law kept the house clean, but her neighbors were not too clean.She poisoned cockroaches with powders and crayons, and I tried, but nothing came of it. Then I decided to carry out professional processing. I won't say that it helped right away, but after about 2 weeks the cockroaches really began to die. "

Marina, Chelyabinsk: “I bought a remedy for cockroaches Ksulat. The processing was carried out by the husband in accordance with the instructions. At first I thought that nothing would work out, since the number of insects almost doubled in the first week, but then I noticed that the cockroaches suddenly disappeared somewhere. This means that the drug really works. "

Important! Before baiting cockroaches, it is important to make sure that the person conducting it knows how to prepare the apartment for this procedure and what means to use for this. If the homeowner has never engaged in insect baiting, it is better for him to entrust this business to professionals. Self-treatment from cockroaches is carried out according to the instructions and in compliance with all necessary precautions.

Where to go for professional pest control?

The most difficult thing when ordering the services of professional exterminators is to choose a reliable company. Moreover, in large cities it can be especially difficult to do this: dozens of different organizations work here, among which, let's say, cunning disinfectants work.

However, there are a number of simple rules to avoid the services of one-day firms even at the stage of selection:

1. Immediately contact large networks that have been on the market for a long time, which have branches in dozens of different cities. By the way, such organizations usually maintain market average prices;
2. Read reviews about the company before agreeing to call its specialists;
3. When talking with the manager, find out about the presence of a license to carry out disinsection work, certificates for the means used. If you are making an order, ask the exterminators to bring these documents with them;
4. Find out whether the company signs a contract, whether it is certified with a wet seal and the signature of the contractor. If this is not done, then it makes sense to look for another company;
5. When you call, ask right away if the company can carry out cold fog control of cockroaches. As a rule, "sharashkin offices" do not have the capital to buy expensive equipment, and this question alone can quickly filter out all dubious offers. After that, by the way, it is not at all necessary to order the treatment with fog, sometimes the use of a conventional sprayer is quite justified;
6. Ask the manager if it will be possible for children and pets to stay in the apartment during the work. If the manager allows you, call another company.

Further, remember that on the Internet and in a conversation on the phone, all firms can be white and fluffy, and their true face is revealed only when performing work (and especially after, when the money for pest control from cockroaches has already been paid). Therefore, be guided by the principle "chairs in the morning, money in the evening."

Namely:

1. Immediately upon the arrival of the exterminator, ask him for all the documents - an agreement, a license for pest control services, certificates for the chemicals used;
2. Check that the contract is stamped and that adequate conditions for the guarantee are clearly spelled out;
3. Check out the tools themselves. If the exterminator has provided you with a certificate for Tetrix, he must have exactly Tetrix, and not a canister without a label with a cloudy liquid;
4. Monitor the progress of disinfestation (in personal protective equipment), the thoroughness of surface treatment and the duration of all work. Keep in mind that 20 minutes of processing the kitchen cabinet and under-sink cabinet is not enough to completely eradicate cockroaches in the room.

And remember: you pay only for the result and only when you see it. Do not give money to the exterminator before work.The disinsector must diligently process the entire apartment - only after that it makes sense to pay him.

Feedback

“A year ago we did a disinfection against cockroaches. Two guys arrived and said that no one should be in the apartment for a day after the treatment, and that they would have 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 they took the money and left. In the morning we came to air and saw the cockroach cemetery. There were a lot of them, I didn't even think that we had so many of them in our apartment! There were many of them even in the bedrooms. After that, we have not yet had cockroaches ... "

Pest control work: how it happens, how much it costs, what you need to be prepared for

Standard prices for pest control from cockroaches start at about 1,500 rubles for a one-room apartment. About 1,700 costs for processing a two-room apartment, 2000 - for a three-room apartment. Depending on the set of guarantees and some other nuances, the price may vary significantly.

For example, this is how 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 by phone when he calls the service. However, in some cases, just before the pest control itself, a specialist comes to the site to assess the situation on the spot.

Often, pest controllers immediately come for treatment with a sufficient supply of drugs and equipment to cope with cockroaches even in the most neglected situation.

Immediately before pest control, an agreement is signed, after which:

1. All residents and pets are removed from the premises in order to avoid their poisoning;
2. Furniture is moved away from the walls, cupboards and bedside tables in the kitchen are freed;
3. Food and children's toys are packed in plastic bags;

   

4. Special fog generators are filled with an insecticide solution, and the drug is used to treat the walls of furniture, baseboards, door frames, a kitchen stove, the back wall of the refrigerator - and in general, all places where cockroaches can hide.
5. The apartment is closed and insisted for several hours.

After that, already by the forces of the residents themselves, wet cleaning and thorough ventilation are carried out, after which you can return to the apartment for a normal life. As a rule, the smell in the room practically disappears after a few hours of airing, although the smell from upholstered furniture can disappear for several days.

If you do not delay with wet cleaning, then no stains will remain on either furniture or household appliances.

On a 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, already on the first or second day after thorough cleaning and intensive ventilation, such sensations should not arise.

Most of the cockroach population perishes during processing. Within a few hours after treatment, insects die, which were able to hide in the most secluded places, and therefore by the time of airing there should be practically no living cockroaches in the house.

In some cases, it may be necessary to re-treat the premises from cockroaches. Usually such cases are provided for in the contract under the guarantee. Be that as it may, this point needs to be discussed in advance, since even the most professional processing does not give a result 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, a warranty visit is often offered for an additional fee. If, before disinfestation, you signed an agreement in which it was stated that the reprocessing is carried out free of charge, feel free to ask for free reprocessing.

Feedback

“There are scammers all around! We ordered the disinfection of the hostel from the company, it was necessary to poison the cockroaches in several rooms. Immediately upon arrival, the master began to tell us that we certainly need some kind of barrier, and without it the cockroaches will return. The barrier costs as much as the treatment itself. As a result, cockroaches were seen for another month after disinfection, constantly appeared throughout the hostel, and then again there were as many of them as before. They called under a guarantee, they tell us - a guarantee of 800 rubles only for departure. Horror!"

Disinsection on your own using aerosols and concentrates

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

1. For disinsection, preparations are used that are specially adapted for domestic use (in small packaging, odorless). The most popular of them today are Get, Delta Zone, Lambda Zone, Xulat Micro and some others. These products practically do not leave a smell in the room and retain their effectiveness for several weeks (being applied on 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, ready to be sprayed (Dichlorvos Neo, Raptor from crawling insects, Combat Superspray, etc.). However, their application is financially more costly with the same efficiency;

   

3. To spray an insecticidal solution, ordinary household sprayers are used (you can even just take a bottle of window cleaner).

For the rest, pest control should be similar to professional. The task of the owner of the premises is to thoroughly treat with the agent all surfaces on which cockroaches can move, as well as to achieve the penetration of aerosol into those places where insects can hide.

After processing, the room is closed for several hours, then aired, it is cleaned, and dead cockroaches are swept away.

Usually, self-pest control requires at least 5-6 hours of time (taking into account the preparation of the premises and putting it in order). After the application of aerosol insecticides by additional means of passive destruction, the room is protected from the penetration of new insects into it.

Feedback:

“We went to the beautiful website of the company, ordered the destruction of cockroaches from my grandmother in the apartment.After 2 hours, the master was with her, everything seems to be fine. But then it began: the master declares that the work will not cost 2200, as the manager said, but 10000. This is for a one-room apartment! We called the manager, she was surprised, she said that she didn’t know why the master was behaving this way. This "master" somehow sprinkled something in the kitchen for 15 minutes, grabbed the money and disappeared. I did not leave any checks or a contract. We started calling, sorting it out, and what do you think? Nobody picks up the phone for the third day in the office! "

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

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

The most common means of passive destruction of cockroaches are:

1. Gels are agents that attract cockroaches with their smell. They include insecticides, which lead to the rapid death of the insect after entering the digestive tract. Insecticidal gels Globol, Absolut, Raptor, Dohlox and a number of others have proven themselves well in the fight against cockroaches;

   

2. Insecticidal pencils (crayons). Less effective than gels, but more affordable, easier to use, and remain effective longer without renewal. Of these, the most popular are Clean House, Mashenka, Domovoy, Titanic, etc .;

   

3. Dusts - EcoKiller, Clean House, Fas, Green House, Pyrethrum (a natural remedy based on dried chamomile flowers);

   

4. Traps (glue and electrical). In them, insects die, running by accident or being attracted by the bait put inside.

   

All these funds can be used as the main means of pest control, but they act slowly, so a large population of cockroaches will be destroyed for a long time.

The best option for self-pest control is the rapid destruction of the bulk of cockroaches using aerosol insecticides, and then fixing the result with gels and traps.

We block the way to the apartment for cockroaches

Finally, the victory over cockroaches cannot be considered complete if the risk of their penetration into the apartment from neighboring premises remains. Finding the places of such intrusions and blocking them is one of the key tasks for the apartment owner.

If pest control is carried out by specialists, they can tell in what ways cockroaches usually get into the apartment. As a rule, the "gateway" is:

1. Sewerage pipes, cold and hot water supply - between them and the concrete there are usually narrow slots 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 join the walls).

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

If for some reason it is not possible to completely block such moves, then you can apply gel from cockroaches or set glue traps near them. Be that as it may, everything possible must be done so that the insects either cannot physically enter the apartment, or with a high probability they die immediately after entering it.

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

The situation is more complicated when the dwelling apartment of disadvantaged neighbors is a breeding ground for cockroaches. But even in this case, the problem is solvable by collective complaints in the SES.

Nevertheless, practice shows that if an apartment is carefully protected from insects from outside, then even with total infection of the entire apartment building, pests will not be able to substantiate their population in it.
