How can you fight cockroaches in Guangdong?

As we all know, another stereotype that is as famous as the fact that Cantonese people eat everything is that Cantonese people always go out riding cockroaches, and the cockroaches in Cantonese can also fly. Usually, if you find one, your house has actually been occupied. Cockroaches are pests. If you want a healthier and more hygienic environment, you must control the number of cockroaches within a controllable range.

1. Differentiate between cockroach species

01 American cockroach

The American cockroach is the dominant species in residential homes, work units, and sewers. It mainly lives outdoors but can also be found indoors. It can carry a variety of pathogens and spread diseases.

02 German cockroach

The German cockroach is the most widely distributed and most difficult to control type of household hygiene pest in the world. Because the German cockroach is highly adaptable and reproduces quickly, it is very difficult to prevent and control it.

03 Australian cockroach

Australian cockroaches are mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas. Among the various cockroaches in cities and towns in our province, Australian cockroaches account for about 10.92%. They have strong reproductive capacity and adaptability, and can spread a variety of pathogens and parasites. Their habitats are similar to those of American cockroaches. They mainly live in hotels, restaurants, inns, hospitals, food warehouses, grain and oil food stores, markets, homes, etc.

04 Black-breasted cockroach

The black-breasted cockroach is a larger cockroach with a body length of 23 to 35 mm. The temperature requirements for its breeding environment are not high. It is widely distributed and its habitat is mainly in the kitchen. It hides during the day and comes out at night. It likes to eat sugar and starchy foods. It has also been found in bedroom closets, bookshelves, tables, etc., especially in old furniture.

2. One of the Four Pests: Being Disliked

01 Harassment of humans

When the density of cockroaches is high and the weather is hot, their range of activity increases, disturbing people's rest and even actively attacking infants and young children.

02Causes allergic reaction

The secretions of cockroaches can cause or aggravate asthma. Cockroaches are actually one of the dirtiest creatures. They carry a variety of pathogenic bacteria, such as Shigella dysenteriae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus, Salmonella, Salmonella typhi, viruses, molds, parasite eggs and protozoa, etc. In addition, cockroaches can also carry a variety of protozoa that are pathogenic to humans or animals, such as Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia intestinalis.

3. Direct tapping is unscientific

First of all, you may not be able to kill them with one step. Cockroaches were born earlier than dinosaurs and have strong survival ability. They are arthropods. Their bodies shrink when they are under pressure. They can easily pass through the soles of your shoes, even if their heads are cut off, they will not die immediately. Even if you flush them into the toilet, the waxy secretions on the surface of the cockroaches' bodies make it difficult for them to be drowned. Secondly, small cockroaches are hatched from egg sheaths. The egg sheaths are very hard and contain many eggs. Some female cockroaches will lay their egg sheaths in hidden places, while others will carry their egg sheaths with them. If you don't clean up these cockroach eggs in time, they may spread throughout your home with your slippers and continue to grow. Therefore, if you want to make the cockroaches "die completely", pay attention to these 4 points:

01 Use force

You need to step on it until the slurry bursts, and at the same time make sure the egg case is also burst;

02 Disinfection is required

Use alcohol to disinfect and clean the ground and soles where the cockroaches were crushed to death, especially the places where the slurry exploded because there are bacteria in the slurry;

03 Burn with fire

After stepping on the cockroaches to death, burn the egg sheaths with fire, scald with water, or wrap them in paper towels and crush them to destroy them to ensure that the cockroach eggs are completely killed;

04 Direct use of pesticides

For cockroaches that you see, you can use an aerosol can to kill them. For hidden cockroaches, you can use cockroach houses and cockroach poison baits to kill cockroaches more efficiently and reduce the pollution of the environment caused by explosions.

You should know that cockroaches breathe using the spiracles on their bodies, which means that their blood system is not that important in terms of oxygen supply. A cockroach can probably still live for a week after being beheaded, mainly because it starves to death without its mouth. In the presence of water, a cockroach can survive for three months without food.

4. Scientific cockroach extermination has its own requirements

In addition to directly killing them with slippers, humans have long studied many ways to eliminate cockroaches. Here are a few common ones that you can try.

01 Scalding

Kitchen operation rooms, restaurants, food and beverage production and processing workshops, warehouses, etc. are places where cockroaches like to live, and they are also places where chemical pesticides should be used with caution. Therefore, using boiling water or steam to directly pour various cracks and corners to scald the cockroaches and egg cases hidden in them is an economical and simple method.

02 Smoke and fumigation

Smoke fumigation has the advantages of good diffusion and penetration properties. It can quickly kill cockroaches hidden in cracks and holes, but has little effect on egg cases. It is suitable for closed warehouses, basement sewers and places with complex environments and many internal items. Therefore, in order to kill the remaining adults and newly hatched nymphs, it is generally necessary to repeat the treatment once a month. Smoke is usually produced by the high temperature of the smoke generator through the smoke agent. It can also be produced by insecticidal smoke bombs or insecticidal smoke agents (igniting combustion aids).

03 Cockroach Killing Glue Bait

The glue bait hung on WeChat is a kind of poison bait. The principle is to lure cockroaches to eat the bait with insecticide. It is easy to use, effective, cheap and does not pollute the environment. Cockroaches will not die immediately after eating it, but will die of the poison when they return to the nest. The poisoned cockroaches will twitch and vomit excitedly after returning to the nest. Cockroaches have the habit of eating the feces, vomit and corpses of their companions. In this way, the toxic substance will spread rapidly in the entire cockroach nest. The main dosage forms of poison baits commonly used at present include aqueous tablets, granules, pastes, etc. Glue baits "kill cockroaches without hurting people and are safe to the human body. It is a commonly used method of killing cockroaches in homes, government agencies, offices, schools and other places.

04 Water outage

Clean up the accumulated water in the house, and wipe the water stains on the stove at night; cut off food: seal up and hide the edibles at home, never leave kitchen waste overnight, and clean the kitchen thoroughly. Eliminate shelter: install screens on doors and guards, and if there are gaps, apply sealing strips; seal up all the gaps in the house, big and small; and clean up cardboard and other debris in time.

If the above tips are not effective, it is recommended to choose a professional pest control company, which is best done once every six months.
