    Step 2) INSPECTION: 2:22
    Step 3) CONTROL: 2:54
    Step 4) PREVENTION: 6:16
    ***
    The first step in Roach Control is IDENTIFICATION.
    There are a lot of different species that you may encounter. There is the American, the German, the Smokey Brown, the Brown Banded, the Asian, and the Oriental. The first thing you want to look at is the visual characteristics. We want to look at the body size; we want to look at the different types of markings that may be on the body. Also we want to take a look at the harborage areas. Are they harboring indoors? Or are they harboring outdoors?
    One thing that all these roaches have in common is that they need food, shelter and moisture. The best part about it is if you follow the Solutions four step process, you will eliminate all of your roach problems.
    The second step in Roach Control is INSPECTION.
    Let’s start on the inside of the house -- the kitchen and the bathrooms. Inside the cabinetry, we want to look for droppings, smear marks, or even just activity itself. Up underneath the kitchen sink, where the plumbing penetrates the wall, is there a crack there? If so, we need to address it. Moving on to the outside, check around the perimeter of the house and the flower bed areas. Also, is there plumbing that penetrates the exterior wall? If so, check and see if there is a crack around there and we will need to address it. Around the windows or doors, are there cracks? Those will need to be addressed.
    The third step of Roach control is CONTROL.
    Let’s start on the inside, in the kitchen area. Make sure that you clean the countertops thoroughly. Pay attention to that stove top as well. Sweep up any crumbs that are on the floor. If you have a dog or a cat, and you feed them in the kitchen, make sure that food gets picked up each day. Also make sure that you take your garbage out.
    The second part of the control process is the treatment. We will want to use a gel bait, such as Apex gel. The purpose of using this gel is to allow the cockroaches to feed on it, and then they go back into the nest areas, defecate, and the nymph stages actually feed on their feces, creating a domino effect that will wipe out the entire colony.
    Gentrol Point Source is a plastic disc that has a cotton pad and an ampule. You crush the ampule, the liquid wicks into the cotton pad, you place the disc inside the cabinetry on the shelf. What happens is, the nymph stage of the cockroaches are exposed to the insect growth regulator, the gentrol. When they are exposed to it they are actually genetically deformed so they can’t reproduce giving you the long term control that you are looking for.
    About ten to fourteen days later, you will want to apply a product called Novacide. The purpose of using the Novacide is to catch any of those stragglers that may not have been exposed to earlier applications of pesticide.
    You want to make sure that you use a high concentrated product such as Reclaim I/T. You can apply this product as a perimeter application, and you will want to spray two feet up the wall and two feet out from the perimeter. Also, you can use it around windows and doors, if needed.
    There is also a dust. It’s called D-Fense Dust. You can use this on brick veneer homes in the weep holes down at the bottom. You can use it in the attic, as well.
    The fourth step of roach control is PREVENTION.
    There are a lot of things that homeowners can do to help prevent re-infestations. Make sure you take that garbage out frequently. You don’t want trash sitting around for long periods of time. Check you sink. Do you leave dishes in the sink overnight? Do you dry the sink of all the moisture? All of these things will help you prevent future infestations.

    My brother moved in and was a very dirty person so he brought in roaches. The method I learned from an exterminator back when I was a hospital dishwasher was:
    1.) clear and clean the areas affected (for me it was the kitchen)
    2.) fill an air duster with boric acid and spray the area of activity with a light subtle spray with more emphasis on the edges and crevices.
    3.) after that repeat process after 14 days.
    4.) after that repeat after 6 months.
    They should be gone.
    Reason: boric acid gets picked up by their feet which tracks onto their food killing the first wave. The second wave is after those roaches die their brethren will consume their remains which still contains the effective boric acid. On the 14 day mark it’s for roaches who were laid/hatched in between those periods. And the 6 month mark is more of being cautious. Haven’t seen a roach in over 4 years since I did it. Results may vary. Good luck!

    Had roaches in my apartment fairly bad during 2022 and used a white odorless powder called orthoboric acid. It looks just like flour or baking soda. Purchased it a home improvement store. I live alone with no pets, so I spread it along the edge of the walls and inside closets and sink areas. Works great. I've seen only 1 live one and 1 dead one since July of '22. It's June of '23 as I write this. I recommend to use this in limited areas if pets or children are present.

    My advice: diatomaceous earth, please try it, it is a powder that has similar properties to the little bags of silica packets that come in packages to keep moisture away. When the roaches walk around, the powder will stick to them and in kill them within a few days, the reason is that this powder absorbs the moisture and water out anything with an exoskeleton, and since it’s not a poison they can’t get immunity to it. Best part is that when the roaches walk back to their nest, they tend to walk over one another and stick the powder to each other. After a days, make sure you clean any nests dead nests or corpses you might see, please it works wonders and we no longer need an exterminator that may cost thousands. Also make sure to re-apply every now and then

      If you're a minor, forcing you to live in those unsanitary conditions is considered child abuse/neglect. You might want to mention that to them, and if they still don't do anything about it, depending on how bad this whole situation makes you feel, you could report them to Child Protective Services in your state (anonymously, if you prefer). I know I couldn't live like that. Roaches terrify and disgust me. Just seeing one brought me to this video today.

      @@mgarcia2445 thank you, but the thing is, we cant really do much about them considering it's my cousins who bring them over each time they visit. They live in a roach infested home and when they stayed for a bit, they brought their roaches with them(now my cousins cant do anything about it because they're pretty poor.) If we happen to get rid of them, they would just bring them back which is why I guess my grandma is unmotivated to get rid of them. And I guess my comment was a bit of an exaggeration, it's not like my house is *infested* theres just.. alot of roaches that come out at night. I dont think it's too unsanitary though. But recently my grandma has been attempting to get rid of them so that's a plus. I really thank you for your worry, it was nice to see that a stranger on the internet cared. Thank you

      @jessicamac1307 4 роки тому +4

      Yes we care and obviously all have the same problem. If you see a lot of roaches at night then u do have a problem. They reproduce at a rate that is unbelievable. I have never lived in a roach home didn't have a problem until neighbors moved then they migrated from all directions. Literally want to throw up. One trick I have been using, I got a new garbage disposal a I leave some cat food in there and after a hr I run in the kitchen grab the sink sprayer spray the ones I catch down and turn the disposal on. That helps to an extent. FYI each egg hatches 50 baby roaches. That is why when you see them initially you have to take action then seeing one in the day time means you have at least a million roaches or something like that. It's crazy. And they nest up together so to get rid of them you have to find the nest and there could be more than one

    This is the best information I have ever heard. I just had my yearly termite "inspection" which was basically worthless. I asked about pest control, and what they do is spray a perimeter spray around the house three feet up once every quarter. I said, "What about the pests in the house?" I had always heard (past resident of Florida) that they nest in walls. I don't see how a perimeter spray does anything except keep new ones from coming in, especially since I live in a brick house. This was very helpful.

Spraying in n around the sink with vinegar or even mouthwash will keep them away. They'll still come looking but there'll be less of 'em. Best thing is to seal up around the pipes airtght so even the tiniest can't come thru

    Thanks so much for this. Selling a house after renters moved out and about 3-4 days ago I noticed a TON of roaches in the kitchen at night. The first night I put out roach gel strips, they ate a bunch because there was no food in the house. The next night they were out and sluggish so I dusted them with borax and swept them up. Put a mixture of light sugar and borax dusting around the house. Two days later I swept everything up and put out more gel. Got a shop vac and just sucked them up with the borax mixture and put the vacuum outside.

One thing most people expect from me is for me to eliminate the roach infestations that same day. Well, I hate to break it to ya folks who think this, but that's as about as close as to impossible as can be. Approximately 2 weeks, the gel bait works (as he said, KEEP YOUR HOUSE CLEAN OF FOODS during this process), then follow-up with spray or dusting. Some believe vacuuming live roaches is the way but if there's babies, thats what the gel and IGR are for 😎
