What Do Pest Control Companies Use for Roaches?

What Do Pest Control Companies Use for Roaches

Due to their resistance to several common insecticides, cockroaches are difficult to eliminate. You probably won’t be able to eradicate them on your own, so expect them to return quickly. 

A professional pest control service will apply several methods to completely eradicate the infestation. Roach exterminators typically use chemical sprays, set up bait stations, and do routine inspections to get rid of the pests. Here are some methods pest control companies use for roaches.

Physical Pest Control Methods

Physical pest control techniques include killing, trapping, and removing pests while limiting their access to habitats and breeding grounds. Bait traps, field burning, trap cropping, and perimeter traps are physical techniques.

Chemical Pest Control Methods

When treating infestations, professional pest control services most frequently use chemical pesticides. Although chemical-based pesticide solutions might not immediately conjure images of safety, reputable pest control businesses across the country increasingly use eco-friendly and green chemical mixtures.

Green And Organic Pest Control

The EPA determined that some environmentally friendly pesticides have effects comparable to those of conventional pesticides with a lower risk of side effects. The best pest control specialists will effectively apply these treatments— typically preventative measures—in areas of importance.

How Can Pest Control Professionals Get Rid Of Roaches?

Exterminators use a range of methods to prevent infestations from spreading. Among the methods they use are:

Gel Bait

Exterminators install these bait traps near areas where roach activity has been observed. The more active the infestation region, the more traps should be placed at greater distances.

Tent Fumigation

Exterminators may utilize tent fumigation if the infestation is especially severe. In this manner, all holes and crevices are sealed and blocked, ensuring that no air may enter or exit. The house will be pumped full of chemicals, killing any roaches present.

Common Chemicals To Kill Cockroaches

Exterminators employ chemicals to kill roaches. Some of the most often utilized compounds are:

Pyrethrin/Pyrethroids 

Exterminators commonly use Pyrethrin and pyrethroids. Pest control professionals employ these powerful chemicals to get rid of cockroaches. Roaches are paralyzed and eventually killed by this chemical insecticide. You can safely spray them around your property without worrying about hurting anyone. 

Piperonyl Butoxide 

Piperonyl butoxide is another chemical used by exterminators. It is a common ingredient in pesticides. When combined with Pyrethrin and other chemicals, Piperonyl butoxide is more effective. People and animals could be harmed by prolonged exposure to this toxin. The exterminators will not put themselves in harm’s way while working in your home. 

Fipronil 

Powder or liquid Fipronil is a widely used roach insecticide. It kills or repels insects by interfering with their neurological systems. Pest control providers should only use Fipronil, a low-risk spray. While using it, they must tell you and your family of any affected areas.
