In the fight against cockroaches, repeated treatments are often necessary, and despite the implementation of primary measures, the infestation may resume. This issue is of interest and concern to many people, since successfully getting rid of these insects requires not only eliminating visible manifestations, but also an integrated approach to their life cycle and sources of occurrence. In this article, we will look at the main reasons why repeated cockroach treatments may be necessary and what steps can be taken to effectively control and eliminate the problem.
Insect immunity to poisons
Cockroaches remain one of the most common problems in large cities, and despite regular pest control measures, surviving individuals are becoming increasingly resistant to the products used. Real-time observations show that the effectiveness of common insecticides such as Bars is gradually declining. It is important to understand that the process of developing resistance to poisons in cockroaches takes only 3-4 years.
This poses some challenges, but is not an inherent disaster. The insecticide industry is constantly improving, introducing new technologies and active ingredients. In response to these changes, we as pest control specialists are constantly updating our methods and using modern products to effectively combat the growing challenge of cockroach resistance to conventional treatments.
Number of insects
Advanced cases of cockroach infestation in an apartment are one of the most common reasons for repeated calls to us. In such situations, when there are too many insects, problems arise with insect permeability of the room or hygienic conditions. This is often found in the homes of elderly people who may find it difficult to keep their surroundings tidy, which ultimately affects their neighbors. But it is important to note that cockroaches do not choose their habitats solely based on age or level of cleanliness - these are just factors that can influence their appearance.
No matter how badly your apartment is infested with cockroaches, getting rid of them is quite possible. When you choose pest control services from Ecoz, the price includes an annual contract with warranty service. Warranty treatment is carried out free of charge, and you will only need to pay for the exterminator’s visit, which costs only 500 ₽. During warranty treatment, we not only replace the drug used, but also try to identify the reasons for the reappearance of insects, providing recommendations for their elimination.
It is important to note that after the first treatment, the visibility of surviving cockroaches does not always mean the need for repeated disinfestation. Under the influence of the applied poison, insects begin to leave their usual habitats, trying to hide. This may give the impression that there are more of them, but in fact this is a change in the behavior of the insects, and not an increase in their numbers. The applied product remains on surfaces for 2-3 weeks and continues to effectively kill cockroaches, even if they are not washed off. So, in most cases, it just requires a little patience. If cockroaches remain after this period, you can always call an exterminator to re-treat under warranty.
Preparing for re-treatment against cockroaches
Cockroaches can be persistent opponents, and sometimes repeated treatment of the premises becomes necessary to completely eradicate this unpleasant insect. Preparation for repeated disinfestation plays an important role in ensuring an effective result. Here are a few steps to help you prepare for your cockroach repellent treatment:
1. Do general cleaning
First of all, make sure the area is clean. Clean up the dust, wash the floors, remove the trash. Cockroaches can hide in inaccessible places, so a thorough cleaning will help improve access to potential hiding places.
2. Remove personal items
Before processing, remove personal items, food, dishes and other things from the premises. This will allow the exterminator to more effectively treat hard-to-reach places.
3. Close products
If you have food, make sure it is tightly sealed. Cockroaches are attracted to food odors, and pre-protecting food will help prevent them from being attracted.
4. Remove children and pets
During processing, the absence of children and pets in the room is a prerequisite. Provide temporary shelter for them in another location.
5. Remove furniture from behind walls
If possible, move furniture away from the walls so that the exterminator can treat the perimeter of the room. Cockroaches often hide in corners and latches.
6. Prepare instructions for cockroach sightings
If you notice where cockroaches appear most often, provide this information to an exterminator. This will help him concentrate on problem areas.
By following these steps, you will be as prepared as possible for your cockroach re-treatment and will be more effective.
Repeated treatment for cockroaches
Repeated treatment for cockroaches is an important step aimed at eradicating the insects and preventing their return. The process of repeated disinfestation requires care and systematicity. Here's how re-treatment for cockroaches usually works:
1. Assessment of the situation
The exterminator conducts a preliminary assessment of the situation, identifying places where cockroaches accumulate and the reasons for their reappearance. This allows you to determine the best processing method.
2. Preparation of premises
An important part of preparation is the removal of personal belongings, food, and temporary relocation of furniture. The exterminator needs free space to access hard-to-reach places.
3. Use of effective drugs
Effective insecticides are selected for re-treatment. It is important to use products with different active ingredients to prevent cockroaches from developing resistance to chemicals.
4. Treatment of problem areas
The exterminator focuses his efforts on treating areas where cockroaches are most often found. This includes corners, crevices, latches, areas under kitchen appliances and other potential hiding places.
5. Treatment of perimeter and shelters
The specialist focuses on treating the perimeter of the room and hard-to-reach shelters. This includes walls, floors, pipes, and areas around outlets and window sills.
6. preventive measures
Once the treatment is complete, the exterminator can suggest a number of preventative measures, such as recommendations for eliminating possible sources of attraction for cockroaches, improving hygienic conditions and regular inspections.
7. Warranty service
In some cases, reprocessing is included in the warranty service. If cockroaches reappear within a certain period after the procedure, the exterminator will carry out additional measures free of charge.
8. Recommendations for behavior after treatment
Residents are given a number of recommendations, for example, on how to behave after treatment in order to maintain its effectiveness as much as possible.
Re-treatment for cockroaches is not only about the direct impact of the insect, but also a systematic approach to preventing their return. This includes working with a specialist and carefully following their recommendations.
F.A.Q.
Why might it be necessary to re-treat cockroaches?
Re-processing may be necessary for several reasons. It may be that the initial treatment did not cover all roach hiding places, or the infestation level was high, requiring additional measures. Also, the products used for treatment may take time to be fully effective, and re-treatment may be necessary to eliminate surviving individuals.
How to prepare for repeated treatment for cockroaches?
Preparation for re-processing includes emptying the premises of personal belongings, food and temporarily moving furniture. This creates conditions for more effective exposure to insects in hard-to-reach places. Also, you should follow the exterminator’s recommendations regarding room preparation.
Why is it important to follow the recommendations after re-treatment?
After repeated treatment, it is important to follow the exterminator’s recommendations for maximum effectiveness of the procedure. This includes good hygienic behavior, regular inspections, and eliminating possible sources of attraction for cockroaches. Following these recommendations reduces the risk of insect reappearance.
