PEST CONTROL OF COCKROACHES
CONTROL: Inspection is a very important part of cockroach control. First check for any particular trouble areas, then inspect all known cockroach harbourage areas such as:
- cracks and crevices in and around kitchen, bathroom and laundry and meal preparation sites if on a commercial building
- behind hot water services
- electrical appliances such as ovens, refrigerator motors, microwaves, stereos etc.
- door hinges
- behind wallpaper or ply veneer boards
- drains and plumbing; and
- roof voids
Cracks and crevices in all of these areas are treated with insecticidal dusts to flush out the cockroaches and/or in conjunction with residual sprays such as Diazinon or Chlorpyrifos.
Heavy infestations may require a misting or a gassing for a faster kill.
WARNING: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE TREAT ANY FOOD PREPARATION AREAS, FOOD UTENSILS,CLOTHES, BEDDING, OR ANY OTHER AREAS NOT DESCRIBED ON THE PESTICIDE LABEL.
