GEKTOR from cockroaches belongs to the 4th hazard class (similar to the class of table salt), making the use of this product absolutely safe in rooms with children or bedridden patients.

The task of the tool is to attract and poison the insect. To perform the first, the product uses a combined food bait, and not the usual sweet syrup, as in conventional gels.

Such a bait can attract even the most fastidious cockroaches.
The poison used inside poisons the insect even with a normal touch.

The action does not happen instantly. This is done so that the cockroach has time to return to the nest and infect its relatives.

A new insecticide. Started gaining popularity about 20 years ago. Naturally, it is non-chemical and completely harmless to humans, but many people doubt its effectiveness.

Despite the fact that ultrasound can really cause discomfort in cockroaches, with frequent or constant use of such means, insects develop a kind of immunity to high-frequency sounds.

In fact, it is a folk remedy, the effectiveness of which, although high, is unstable. On the other hand, it is a relatively safe remedy, since it can be used when it is not possible to use something more chemically active. The reason for the impossibility of using stronger drugs may be the presence of children or pets in the house, allergies in the owners, etc.

The remedy gained popularity among the population due to its very low cost and sufficient efficiency. The drug, getting into the body of insects, kills them within a few days.

An alternative to boric acid with yolk is sweetened borax.

If you do not want to mess around with mixing ingredients or rolling balls, you can simply sprinkle boric acid or borax powder in places where insects move (under furniture, baseboards, etc.). However, the efficiency of such use of funds will be much lower.

An unfading classic. The composition, invented more than half a century ago, still has not lost its relevance. Modernized versions of this insecticide are practically odorless, however, their toxicity is still high.

The tool belongs to the 3rd class of toxicity, that is, it is dangerous for both humans and pets.

One of the simplest, but very effective means, which is very popular. It is a contact insecticide in the form of a chalk.

The composition of the drug includes:

Substance has the 4th class of toxicity. That is, for people and pets, although it is toxic, it poses a minimal threat.

Chalk is used as follows: they process not only places of accumulation of insects and their routes, as well as for prevention, the lower and side walls of furniture, doorways, thresholds of rooms where cockroaches have not yet appeared, etc.

The insects eat the chalk material and die within 24 hours. After opening the package, the active substances included in the chalk are valid for no more than 1 week. Usually, uninvited guests leave exactly at this time.

Also a fairly well-known tool, which is a disk traps for cockroaches with several inputs and outputs. Inside the disk is a large bait containing hydramethylnon.

The trap is designed so that the cockroach, getting into it, touches the bait. After that, the insect tastes the bait and eats it. The death of the insect occurs after a few hours. At the same time, the bait substance remaining on the body of a dead cockroach continues to act.

In addition, a cockroach that has come running into the nest on its paws and antennae spreads particles of the substance among other insects, thus poisoning them.

It is a powerful insecticide (at the first application) made in the form of a gel. The active ingredient in Dohlox is fipronil. It is considered a drug with low toxicity. He was assigned the 4th class of toxicity.

The action of the drug on insects is based on the nerve-paralytic principle. Cockroaches are covered by partial paralysis, most of them die after 6-8 hours.

The release form of the drug is a tube in the form of a syringe with a characteristic tip. The gel that is squeezed out of it should be applied in the habitats or movement of insects in a thin dotted line.

The preparation can also process door hinges, legs of tables and chairs, the space under the refrigerator. The action of the drug begins almost immediately. Insects slow down, they are in no hurry to hide from danger, they ignore food sources.

After 6-8 hours, the stage of paralysis sets in. In cockroaches, the limbs and muscles of the head fail first, and then they die. Mortality after 8 hours was 99%.

But the listed picture is observed if the cockroach has taken the full dose. If the dose turned out to be less, the process can be delayed for 2-3 days. And in some cases, cockroaches can survive.

New generation insecticide. It is a rebranding of the Gett semi-professional product, available in the form of granules. The granules contain a highly concentrated broad-spectrum toxin. The tool can be used not only against cockroaches, but also against other pests - ants, bedbugs, fleas and so on.

The active substance of the drug is chlorpyrifos. This drug is practically harmless to humans and pets.

The agent is used as follows: it is diluted in water at a concentration of one to ten and sprayed over the surface with a spray gun. Potential places where cockroaches accumulate and their possible routes of movement are processed. Within a month, these places should not be washed or treated in any other way. Half of the insects die within the first week, the rest within about a month.

In addition, the agent in high concentrations is used to create baits. They can be made, for example, from bread, breadcrumbs obtained from rolls, or porridge. Simultaneous use of spraying and bait several times increases the effectiveness of the drug.

A complex preparation from BASF, which has both intestinal and contact effects. The initial purpose is the extermination of the Colorado potato beetle, however, the drug is also successfully used against cockroaches.
