​Infestation of Cockroaches

Cockroaches are attracted to a particular type environment. Generally that means humid, warm, and dark. This makes cracks and crevices the perfect hiding place for roaches. Cockroaches are not only unsightly, but they are also a health concern; as a result, one must know what attracts them. Food is the foremost attractant for cockroaches, and it does not matter whether it is bird feed, human or pet food. As if that were not bad enough, they are also attracted to standing water.

General Techniques of Removing Cockroaches

Detecting Cockroach Infestations: To kill roaches, one has to find where they are first, as a result pinpointing cockroach infestations can be achieved in the following ways: looking for cockroach feces (which resemble black pepper or coffee grounds) For larger cockroach species their feces look like tiny cylinders. A cockroach infestation also results in a musty or oily smell that worsens daily and lastly, spotting oval shaped egg cases is often a sign that you need a roach exterminator, as soon as possible!

Exterminating Cockroaches

​Over the years cockroaches have developed a resistance to various pesticides hence making them ever more difficult to kill. The good thing, however, is that there exist several ways to exterminate cockroaches.
Walls are one of the most common areas for a cockroach infestation. To eradicate a cockroach infestation on the walls of our apartments and homes, one must first identify leaking water sources and seal them. Next, one should apply gel poison or use child-proof lure traps such as raid in the crooks of pest-ridden walls. Another technique may involve using roach bombs. For this method, one must make certain that no food is exposed to the bomb and all residents and pets are out of the house. After the roach bombs are set, one must wait for a few hours for the rooms to air out before moving back in. This procedure should then be repeated after a week or two.

For individuals who prefer using organic methods to get rid of pests, one may use catnip or bay leaves. Catnip and bay leaves have nepetalactone which is a natural repellant. Making some tea from catnip or bay leaves and then spraying it in cockroach prone areas is an effective way to get rid of cockroaches. Still, this technique has two distinct shortcomings which include, cat’s sensitivity to nepetalactone hence people with cats cannot use it. Secondly, Catnip and bay leaves only work towards repelling cockroaches and not killing them. Using equal measures of sugar and baking soda is also effective against cockroaches. Cockroaches are highly attracted to sugar, and as a result, they will eagerly consume the mixture of the two. Consequently, the baking soda destroys a roach’s digestive system killing them in the process.

Lastly one could use professional exterminators who are trained to look for infestations of various pests including roaches and use the best techniques at hand to get rid of them. Moreover, exterminators are a viable option since most DIY solutions take a month or more to completely exterminate cockroach infestations while an exterminator takes far much less time. For these reasons, exterminators are an important alternative.
Trying to exterminate roaches on your own can be done, but if the infestation is bad, it is recommended to call a professional.
