The Cockroach

Health experts say inhalation of cockroach feces and body

fragments, particularly among inner-city children, has resulted in an explosion

of asthma cases in the past two decades.

If you have cockroaches in your home and have been trying to

get rid of them for some time, than you know that these pests are very

persistent.

 

Contemplating calling your local pest control operator? Wait till you see his

prices. I treatment for cockroaches in you home can cost up to $400 or more,

depending on the type and circumstances. It can become very frustrating if you

are trying to do it yourself without actually knowing how.

 

I know, you've listened to your friends, purchased products and you're still

not having any luck. It's not your fault. You just haven't been shown exactly

how to get rid of your cockroaches.

If you would like to learn more on getting rid of the cockroaches in your home and what to expect, Get this 50 page special

report plus a free insect identification guide.

There are five basic types of cockroaches that enter our

homes. Cockroach identification is very important in cockroach control.

The American Cockroach is probably the largest of all five. The American

cockroach has a yellow band across its head. The smokey brown cockroach can be

just a little smaller than the American Cockroach and is a dark brown or

Mahoney in color. The Oriental cockroach is about the size of the smokey brown

cockroach or maybe just a little smaller and is a dark brown or black. These

are the three larger cockroaches ranging in size from 1 inch to 1½ inch in

size.

The two smaller cockroaches ranging in size from ½ to 5/8

inch are the German cockroach and the brown banded cockroach. The two somewhat

look alike. The German cockroach is probably the most persistant cockroach

found in the United States. You'll find these German cockroaches mostly in the

kitchen area or around a water source such as bathrooms. They will infest

inside your cabinets and other cracks and crevices. Its best to eliminate the

German cockroach as soon as possible or you will have a house full of them in

no time.

German cockroaches can become an enormous problem if something is not done

to control them. Did you know that one German cockroach egg capsule can contain

20 to 40 small baby cockroaches when hatched.

The German cockroach is the most persistant cockroach found in the United

States. The reason for this, and the reason this cockroach multiplies so

quickly is that the egg capsule is carried during is complete life cycle. The

German cockroach only releases the egg capsule when the babies are ready to

emerge, thus increasing the life cycle of the German cockroach. Most other

cockroaches paste their egg capsule to a surface which makes it vulnerable to

environmental conditions and other predators thus reducing their life

expectancy.

German cockroaches normally live inside as opposed to the American

cockroaches and the other large cockroaches that live outside and come inside

for food and shelter. The German cockroach is usually brought into your home in

a grocery sack or some other way. Lets say you know someone that has German

cockroaches in their home, or maybe you don't know that they have them. They

come to visit you and boom, you have a house full of cockroaches. German

cockroaches as with other types of cockroaches can be brought in in boxes,

purses, clothing, furniture (especially used furniture) or anything else.

What cockroaches eat and their health hazards?

Cockroaches will eat almost anything, from book bindings,

paper, food and even human flesh. Did you know that doctors in some inner city

areas report that one-half of the foreign objects they remove from children's

ears are cockroaches and that Cockroaches have been identified as a common

cause of asthma. Health experts say inhalation of cockroach feces and body

fragments, particularly among inner-city children, has resulted in an explosion

of asthma cases in the past two decades. It is believed that the cockroach may

be a carrier for a range of bacteria, including salmonella, staphylococcus and

streptococcus.

How to get rid of cockroaches

There are sprays, baits and bait stations. Sprays work well for contact kill

but they won't get rid of your cockroaches. Cockroaches will sense the smells

and go back into the wall and cracks and crevices and stay away from these

sprays until they are gone. Baits seem to work best. I've been treating for

german roaches for about 15 years now and all the sprays do is rid your home of

these pests for a short period of time. Sure, you're going to kill a few. I've

cleaned many homes of German roaches and baits work best. You can call a

professional but be careful. Not all companies are honest.

If you do it yourself than here's what you can do. Go to your local hardware

store, home center or even Walgreen's and buy some ®Combat roach bait gel. It usually comes in a syringe or

tube and apply this gel in all cracks and crevices in your home. All kitchen

cabinets ( you don't have to empty your cabinets ). Just apply it in tiny dots

about the size of a BB and no larger than a pea. Apply it to all corners of

your cabinets and anywhere else you see roaches.

Even boric acid works well. If you have a heavy infestation

open up all your electrical switch plate covers and apply in the wall through

the switch plate covers.
