Hey you’re those pesky insects and other varmints bothering you you’ve come to the right place
00:00:13
solutions has the solution to your problem hey my name is Keith McCoy I’m with solution self chem if your
00:00:20
do-it-yourself or like myself hey you’ve come to the right place we have the answers to your problem cockroaches the
00:00:26
prehistoric animal in the insect world hey there’s a number of different species of cockroaches one thing in
00:00:33
common they need moisture warmth darkness and a food source come with me let’s take a look at one of these houses
00:00:41
that’s got some roaches let’s go take care of that problem first type of application we’re going to make is using
00:00:48
contact insecticide roaches live and breed in cracks and crevices here we’re in the kitchen first thing we’re going
00:00:55
to do is we’re going to remove all of the dishes we’re going to locate the voids and cracks and crevices and we’re
00:00:59
going to use a product called invader take this product we’re going to inject it inside the crack hoping that we get
00:01:08
roaches to flush out if they don’t come out don’t waste your time there move on to another crack remember we’re hunting
00:01:15
them they’re not hunting us once you’ve completed that we can use a product called defense dust we’re going to take
00:01:21
this product and blow it up underneath all appliances refrigerator dishwasher oven and then we’re finished this dust
00:01:30
actually will lay down on the floor roaches crawl over it pick it up on their legs and on their feet when they
00:01:37
go back to the nest and groom themselves they ingest it kills them on contact and also the stomach poison once you have
00:01:44
completed this application then we can use a spray you want to get a pump sprayer you want to use product called
00:01:50
seismic CS and gin troll mix these two products in your sprayer pump it up spray along your baseboards and also
00:01:59
inside your cabinets and all the corners the second type of application you can do is using baits I suggest using a
00:02:05
product called Magnum this is a gel bait comes in a reservoir you want to enter your cat
00:02:11
again and you want to apply this bait in all the corners because we’re using a bait mash you come to and feed on it
00:02:18
it’s not necessary that we cover the entire surface area so when you apply it apply it about the size of a green pea
00:02:24
and you want to spread it out maybe every three to four feet in different areas of the cabinetry once they come
00:02:30
and they feed on this product they will actually go back to their nest when they defecate other members of the family of
00:02:37
cockroaches and in earlier generations will feed on their feces so you get this domino effect of kill so you wipe the
00:02:43
entire colony out it’s pretty neat hey I’m Keith McCoy with solution self Kim asked us how to do it yourself
How To Get Rid Of Cockroaches
How To Get Rid Of Cockroaches
00:00:00
Hey Mike Withrow of pest control here and are you looking for an effective way to get rid of cockroaches well today’s
00:00:06
video i’m going to go through a couple different quick pest control tips you can use to reduce cockroach numbers and
00:00:12
get rid of cockroaches in your home so one thing that’s pretty gross right we don’t like cockroaches we don’t want
00:00:22
them in our home our apartments so whether you’re a homeowner a business owner or a landlord or a tenant these
00:00:29
are things that you don’t want right you don’t want to have cockroaches crawling all over your home so a couple different
00:00:35
things you can do to really reduce their numbers the first thing that really keep in mind is that they’re gonna feed off
00:00:41
different things like food sources like crumbs or oils or grease that you maybe leave on counters or your stovetop or
00:00:49
again underneath appliances in between appliances so those are one thing that you should really focus on cleaning and
00:00:56
make sure that you have that clean environment also make sure garbages are covered because again the more there’s
00:01:03
easy access to food sources the more likely cockroaches are going to come around again there’s really three things
00:01:10
that cockroaches require to stay alive and breathe and multiply in your home that’s having an adequate food source an
00:01:18
adequate water source or an adequate shelter so it means all of those is survive now again eliminating those food
00:01:26
sources by properly sealing food that you have stored in cupboards or cabinets and then also cleaning up after spills
00:01:33
and messes and different crumbs you might have leaving laying around in your apartment or home or business is a great
00:01:40
way to reduce cockroach numbers now from there you want to eliminate different water sources now a leaky faucet might
00:01:48
not sound like a big deal or something that you could leave unchecked for a while but in reality leaky faucets and
00:01:56
pipes are one main water source for cockroaches so that’s typically where they’re gonna hide out is in dark spaces
00:02:03
underneath appliances underneath sinks so they’re often found in like kitchens and bathrooms where there might be leaky
00:02:11
faucets or toilets or access to sources now again like I said it doesn’t need to be a huge water source but
00:02:18
something as simple as a leaky faucet could start to attract pests like cockroaches so make sure if you’re a
00:02:24
homeowner business owner or landlord to seal up any leaks in your pipes in your faucets in those areas because again
00:02:33
that water source can attract pests like cockroaches now another interesting thing that you might not know about
00:02:40
cockroaches is that they’re prehistoric creatures they’ve been around for thousands of years and have really
00:02:46
adapted to the environment that they used to live in a long time ago so they usually live in temperatures that are
00:02:52
well over 75 degrees so the warmer it is the more humid the hotter it is the better they thrive and live and tend to
00:03:01
reproduce now cockroaches really reproduce very quickly so you want to make sure that they don’t have an ideal
00:03:08
environment in your home or business or apartment so a couple things you can do to reduce those numbers one is going to
00:03:15
be to thoroughly lower the temperature in your home so like I said it varies from species to species of cockroach but
00:03:23
generally it needs to be above 70 or 75 degrees even for them to survive and thrive so if you lower the temperature
00:03:32
in your home in apartments to under about 70 degrees doesn’t mean you’re gonna completely eliminate all
00:03:38
cockroaches but you can certainly slow down their breathing and help reduce their numbers again if you’re following
00:03:45
the other tips you know cleaning your home and eliminating water sources it can go a long way to prevent cockroach
00:03:52
issues so it could be a simple way if you have them in your apartment or then you think that they might be in your
00:03:58
complex as a landlord or again a home or business owner is reducing the temperature in your home now
00:04:05
cockroaches actually die very quickly the colder it gets so one strategy that’s kind of interesting you’re unique
00:04:11
that you can use it’s actually freezing them out so sometimes cockroaches can get in different appliances different
00:04:19
things that you use a lot and depending on their size and unique strategy you can do is actually sealing them in a
00:04:25
plastic bag and then putting them out in that freezing environment for a few days time so if you’re in the cold areas
00:04:33
of the world like Minnesota in the winter for example you could actually bag up like a toaster or microwave or
00:04:39
something along those lines that could be infested with those cockroaches and seal that up and then put that outside
00:04:46
in the sub-zero temperatures for a few days and then that can actually kill off the different roaches or pest
00:04:54
infestation that are inside of it now again before you bring those back into your home obviously thoroughly clean
00:05:00
them make sure that they’re passed free but that could be a unique way to help get rid of those pests so depending on
00:05:06
the size of the appliance or where they’re infesting you could even do that with smaller things like toasters or
00:05:11
whatnot during the summer months and store them in a freezer for example so again the lower the temperature is the
00:05:18
more can slow down those pest issues and help keep roaches out so implement that as part of a strategy you can use to
00:05:26
reduce numbers of pests and again obviously cockroaches in this example so that’s cleaning your home thoroughly you
00:05:33
know cleaning up messes spills crumbs oils grease stains different things like that and then as well as reducing
00:05:40
temperature and then eliminating water sources for them so fixing leaky pipes and whatnot other areas where they have
00:05:47
access to standing water so when you do those it can go a long way to reduce pest issues helping get rid of
00:05:53
cockroaches and kill them off but again we really recommend if you do have an infestation or an issue to reach out to
00:06:01

00:06:08
