Technology of killing cockroaches by fog: at what temperature do they die and are they afraid of frost?

For many years, a serious sanitary and epidemiological problem for Russia has been the fight against insect pests, in particular, with cockroaches.

Despite the emergence on the market in recent years of various chemicals that effectively fight parasites, many residents of megalopolises are still suffering from the invasion of "uninvited guests." Of course, without identifying the cause of their occurrence in the house is unlikely to get rid of those.

If the apartment after repeated attempts at etching still remains attractive to insects, they will definitely return sooner or later. That is why the fight against parasites should be carried out consciously, comprehensively and only after determining the causes of their occurrence in the house.

Today we will consider the following questions: are the cockroaches afraid of cold, at what temperature do cockroaches die? Are there any means of dealing with them based on temperature effects?

Temperature exposure method

And the causes of Prusack may be as follows:

1. Sanitary situation in the room, its clutter, the presence of many cracks in the flooring and walls.
2. Settlement of insects in the neighboring apartments.
3. Open access to food and water, making it impossible to get rid of pests.
4. Transfer of cockroaches to the house with furniture and other interior items from the outside.
5. The presence of unsealed packages for food.

There are other, less common causes of the appearance of parasites.

But anyway cause should be correctedwhatever it is.

If you had a pest control in your apartment, and the insects were left in the next, then all your efforts will go down the drain.

One of the most common and most ancient ways to combat cockroaches is the temperature method.

At what temperature do cockroaches die?

According to its historical origin, the Prussians - tropical creatures, therefore at a subzero temperature they die.

At 5 degrees below zero, cockroaches will live for about 30 minutes, and at 7 degrees - no more than a minute.

Of course, in Russia it is very difficult to apply this method in practice. The presence in the house of heating pipes and radiators complicates the situation. Freezing parasites can lead to accidents of the heating system and will require additional costs for repairs in the house.

In addition, household appliances or pets will suffer. Despite the effectiveness of this method, it is used in practice extremely rarely.

Mode of action:

1. Remove from the house all the inhabitants who feel uncomfortable at a temperature of minus 8 degrees Celsius.
2. Open all windows.
3. Cover the pipes of hot water and heating.
4. Close the room for the day.
5. When the disinsection period has expired, close the windows and sweep the dead cockroaches out of tables, cabinets and other pieces of furniture.

In cold regions during the winter period, the procedure can last no more than 20 minutes. Of course, the temperature outside is much lower than eight degrees. This is enough. But if the region is warm, you need to act for sure.

Of course, it is better to find a way to sit out in another place and leave the apartment for the whole day, but be sure that the method will work. By the way, frost can easily destroy not only adult individuals, but also their eggs.

It should be noted that our ancestors used ordinary boiling water against Prusaks. But it is inconvenient to water things with them; moreover, books, fabrics, furniture and interior items, and even the floor covering can be spoiled using this method. The best way out is the use of a household steam cleaner.

The destruction of cockroaches fog - what is it?

Cold fog

Prusak extermination is not easy. To clean the apartment sometimes requires a few treatments.

It takes time and requires certain financial costs, especially if professional disinsectors are involved. Therefore, it was invented technology to kill cockroaches at once.

First, try to deal with the concept of "cold fog." It is about the use of aerosolized disinfectant solutions. This kind of treatment makes it possible to evenly distribute insecticide over the contaminated room. His drops will settle on all surfaces, including the ceiling.

Cloud aerosols produced by generator. It is a mobile, small in size apparatus. In the cloud produced by it, the particles of the insecticide are no larger than 80 microns. The produced "fog" in its temperature corresponds to the ambient temperature. Therefore, technology has such a name.

Advantages of technology:

• The operation of the generator makes it possible to apply various kinds of insecticides.
• Small droplets of solution stay long in the air, then evenly settle on the surface. Full subsidence is carried out within four hours.
• The sediment formed from the solution after sedimentation can be observed not only on open, but even on almost inaccessible surfaces. In addition, the cloud covers the whole room.
• The aerosol does not harm the health of pets and humans.
• The use of the generator makes it possible to significantly save insecticide and allows you to get rid of cockroaches at no extra cost.

Most often, such pest control is carried out by specialized companies. But in this procedure there is nothing difficult. Therefore, you can spend it yourself. Nevertheless, buying a fairly expensive equipment for the sake of one treatment would be an unwise decision. So the choice is yours.

Hot mist

This technology involves not only spraying, but also heating the solution produced by the generator.

The method is to produce smaller particles of insecticide (total from 5 to 30 microns). Such a cloud is held in the air much longer and completely settles only after 10 hours.

While using the technology, the room is not moistened as much as with the cold mist. This method has less negative effects on items, do not tolerate moisture, and allows after the first treatment completely destroy adult insects and egg laying. But this technology is not suitable for all rooms.

Training

Pre-room need to prepare. To do this, it is recommended to perform the following actions:

1. Closely pack the dishes, and with it the available personal care products. It is better to remove them from open spaces in the apartment.
2. Furniture should be at least a little as possible away from the walls.
3. Hide products.
4. From the walls themselves to remove carpets, posters and paintings.
5. To carry out general cleaning. Carefully wipe the floor, baseboards, door jambs with a cloth.
6. Remove pets from the house and, of course, people.
7. If the owner of the house is going to control the process or conduct it himself, he will need a respirator and clothing that protects the body.
8. After the procedure, the clothing is removed, after which you should immediately take a shower or wash your hands properly.

Wait for the insecticide to settle, then air the treated rooms well. It will take at least an hour. After that, prepare a soap solution and wipe the places with which people in the house contact most often. These are door handles, chairs and table tops.

It should be noted that such spraying of insecticides significantly increases the degree of its effectiveness. Particles of special preparations fall not only on hard-to-reach surfaces, but even into the existing gaps and cracks where insects usually live. Thus, the generator allows you to quickly and accurately exterminate the parasites.

Summarize. We answered the question: at what temperature do cockroaches die? And it turned out that they do not like low temperatures and freeze already with a small minus, and the frost completely kills them in a matter of minutes.

Prusak is a resilient insect. Therefore, to achieve a positive result in the fight against it will turn out much faster with the participation of professionals. To date, many disinsection services work in the cities, which qualitatively exterminate insects.

Specialists of such services use only proven and, as a rule, the most highly effective drugs, with which you can easily clean the house of parasites, even with their numerous presence.

If you cannot afford to call a specialist, then here are some good tools for independent use:

• aerosols and sprays: Raptor, Clean House, Raid, Executioner;
• gels: Global, Dohlox;
• traps: Combat, Forsyth;
• crayons: Masha;
• powders: FAS.
