The best means against cockroaches, time-tested

This article briefly describes the best remedies for cockroaches, both professional and home-made. Among them - aerosols, scares (ultrasonic), crayons and pastes.

Let's start with a refutation of the ratings, which abound in the sites selling, allegedly allegedly the best remedy for cockroaches. Customer feedback is unambiguous: any tool is effective only if there is no access to water. Otherwise, the struggle is almost useless.

"If you left unsuccessful tea on the table, or if the water drips from the tap at least occasionally, be sure: the cockroaches will come to life!", Say those who used already ultra-modern traps such as "Superbayt Kombat", "Rait", etc. Here You can include gels (for example, "Brownie"). Traps operate according to the principle of ordinary dominoes: an insect that has eaten a bait, carries it to itself similar, infecting them already. And so - on the chain.

Most of the parasites die in the first week. Such traps are the best means for cockroaches for those who keep animals at home (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, etc.), since they are completely non-toxic. Moreover, the components of "Combat" are not produced immunity, it also acts longer than crayons and sprays. Simply put, neighbor cockroaches, inadvertently "glancing at guests" after the "owners" have died out, you will not settle. However, let's remind: the presence of an open source of water reduces the efficiency of the traps at times, as well as a piece that has fallen from somewhere on your table.

Next under consideration are sprays. Among the most popular and trustworthy users are "Reid", "Clean House", "Raptor", etc.

Sprays are the best remedies for cockroaches in situations where immediate results are needed, and the duration of the action does not matter. They are usually used in rented apartments, in hotels, etc.

The chemical compounds included in the composition of the sprays are unstable and decompose as early as the first day. Do not forget about the possibility of allergic reactions. It should be noted that cheap aerosols usually use deodorized kerosene (which acts as a solvent), leaving greasy stains on the walls and furniture.

Among modern plant insecticides, crayons (pencils) such as "Clean House", "Titanic" or "Mashenka" are the most popular, probably in last place. Not every house owner likes white stains on the walls. In addition, the stripes remaining from the crayons will need to be washed off after a few days. Nor does the manufacturer's recommendation: "preventive treatment is repeated on a regular basis, every two months".

Increasingly, advertisements include other devices - eco-traps, also called ultrasonic repellers. Those who are fortunate enough to buy the original, were very pleased, but more often come across fakes. According to the manufacturer, the repeller operates only in the room in which it is installed. The influence of ultra-waves is not said.

If we talk about the "drugs" of home cooking, the best remedies for cockroaches are those in which boric acid is used. Here one does not have to rely on a chain reaction (the so-called "domino principle"), but they are very, very effective and, importantly, non-toxic. The main ingredients in the most effective means are the egg and, as it was said, boric acid. In the raw yolk, so much boric acid is added so that the balls can be rolled. These balls then unfold along the baseboards and where the cockroaches appear most often.

In some recipes, it is advised to boil eggs with potatoes and add sugar. Essence does not change it. The boric acid has a harmful effect , to which cockroaches do not even fit. Egg, being for them a tasty morsel (in any way, by the way, form), also interrupts the smell of poison.

If you are afraid that an animal living in your house can eat a bait, prepare liquid poison from the same boric acid (or borax), eggs and jelly (you can brew the flour). Composition lubricate the plinth. You will begin to see the result about a week later, but this "refreshment" will be quite long (at least a month).
