Cockroaches are nothing but nasty, dirty
creatures. Nobody wants to dwell with cockroaches. Here are some widely used
methods for pest removal in Toronto:
DUSTS
- Dusts comprise boric acid, diatomaceous earth, and silica gel, all available at hardware and home improvement suppliers.
- Keep kids and pets away, and use protection goggles when you’re putting on dusts.
- Load a bulb rag or squeeze bottle (like empty dish soap bottle) with boric acid,diatomaceous earth, or silica gel.
- Put on dust into cracks and holesand under and behind bigappliances and cabinets or whereverroaches are active.
- Put only a thin layer. Cockroaches avoid big masses. Afterward, seal up splits, fissures and holes with spackle.
- Don’t worry if you still see roaches after putting on dusts. They can take a number of days or weeks to effect.
GEL BAIT
- Baits do not destroy cockroaches right away but nevertheless are very effective. Pests eat them and die gradually when they go back to their shelter. Other cockroaches in the nest also die when they eat the remains of cockroaches that ate the bait.
- Squeeze pea-sized drops of gel every 12 inches or so along splits, cabinet shelves,and baseboards. Reapply after it gets consumed.
- Inset gels into fissures and holes before closing them up.
BAIT STATION
- Take off the sticky tape on the bottom of the bait station or trap before putting it to a surface.
- Place the bait or sticky trap where roaches travel – along edges, corners, inside, under, and behind cabinets, appliances,and basins.
- Replace bait stations every 60 or 90 days. Replace traps every 2 weeks or more often if the trap is filled fast.
