Black and red cockroaches - household pests with which many residents of high-rise buildings are familiar. They can hardly be confused, the size and color are the main distinguishing features of insects.

The body size of the black pest is quite impressive - compared to the red prusak it is just a huge cockroach. An adult individual can reach a length of 3-5 cm. The Red-haired Prusaks are almost 2 times smaller. The body of the insect is covered with a durable, glossy chitinous cover that protects it from any mechanical effects. The upper torso is slightly extended, with the result that part of the head is partially hidden. On the body of the male there are 2 pairs of webbed wings, however the insect is not capable of flying. Female individuals are deprived of even the rudiments of wings.

Of great interest is the structure of the digestive organs. Insect jaws are powerful chewing apparatus, thanks to them the pest is able to process even solid food. Food that has entered the intestine is processed with the help of enzymes, and it is crushed by special bacteria already in the chewing ventricle. Such a structure of the digestive system allows the pest to eat not only the usual foods for humans, but even leather products, thick paper, cotton, silk or soap.

Over time, the kids acquire a dark saturated color and undergo up to 10 molts, turning into an adult. For all her life, the female black cockroach is able to lay only 2-3 cocoons.

Ways of penetration of black cockroaches in the apartment

Preventive measures

Black cockroaches

The question of how to get rid of black cockroaches in an apartment is puzzled by many of the hostess who discovered the pests. Before you begin to fight the pest, you must create conditions that are unacceptable for the life and reproduction of insects.

Being heat-loving insects, black cockroaches prefer raw and warm places: the kitchen and bathroom are the most ideal rooms in the apartment. There, insects can hide in ventilation vents, air ducts, in sewers or between leaking pipes. In addition, there is always a source of food nearby: a waste bin, food residues and crumbs on the table. Therefore, if large black cockroaches are found in an apartment, it is necessary:

Bring in good condition leaking plumbing.
Drain and air ducts should be cleaned regularly.
To carry out regular cleaning of the apartment, especially with regard to the kitchen: do not leave a garbage can, crumbs on the table or dirty dishes in the sink at night full of waste.
After using the bath and sink, wipe them dry.

In order not to have to deal with black cockroaches, it is necessary to keep the apartment clean. Increased humidity is another sign of the presence of insects. When we moved to a new apartment, the pests there were swarming. We made repairs, repairing all the gaps and holes, changed the plumbing and processed all with Dichlorvos - we did not observe more parasites.

Fighting black cockroaches with folk remedies is a waste of time. During this period, they will only be more. Therefore, chemistry is indispensable.

  Svetlana does not agree with you, folk remedies are quite effective with a slight contamination of the room. Especially when there are small children or animals in the house to use chemicals is dangerous.

I got rid of black cockroaches using Dohlox gel. It is odorless and colorless. It is enough to smear the places with the greatest accumulation of insects and we can assume that the problem has been solved. We have not had these pests for more than 5 years.

A year ago, an odnushka in an old candle (9th floor, 2nd floor) was taken out in July 1967. In September, the cold came, went to the toilet at night, turned on the light and looked, something big and black crawls rapidly under the bath. I thought what beetle could be. what do you think, this cockroach crawled every evening. The apartment itself is not very clean, the repair was not done for a long time. Someone how he nailed it on the wall, you would see how fast he was running. After this week, there was silence and peace. Then they began to notice in the bathroom on the floor of small tarakashek, apparently offspring. I put the traps, all to no purpose, empty I am a waste of money. In the end, they moved out in December, becausethe apartment turned out to be also cold, and the wife of these cockroaches is scared to squeal. Itself, it depends primarily on the situation in the apartment. If the bomzhatnik is there, not only cockroaches will start. They bypass the clean apartments.

Get rid of black cockroaches helped remedy Combat (gel in the syringe). It is enough to daub them around the perimeter of all the plinths, as well as places where insects most often run. This treatment was carried out 6 months ago, and so far not a single parasite has been encountered.

Globol is a unique remedy for red and black cockroaches. Already after the first processing, the result is obvious. If the room is highly contaminated, it is better to repeat the treatment. Means tested. Recommend.
