Cockroaches They live all over the world, feeling great both in the village house and in the penthouse in the center of the big city. In order to get rid of parasites in the apartment, man resorts to help various means. One of them - dust from cockroaches.
What is dust
More recently, the dust could be purchased at any hardware store, it was used not only against insects in the apartment and on the garden plot, but also parasites were taken out of animal hair.Later, a high toxicity of the drug was revealed, and its ability to accumulate in various tissues. The drug in its pure form is prohibited almost worldwide, except for cases of malaria.
Dust from cockroaches today is a large assortment of products using the term “dust” as an advertisement. In English, “dust” means “fine powder,” which makes it possible to call any powdered substances like dust: food soda, insecticides, flour, etc. Clean dust in Moscow can be found only among specialists - disinsectors.
Powder selection
Modern tools are different. Large packings are intended for application in industrial buildings, small - for home use. There are both extremely toxic substances, and completely safe for people.
To choose the right remedy for cockroaches, you must keep in mind:

Feedback
Honestly, I was always sure that the dust remained unchanged since my childhood. Yes, we then calmly processed both the house and the site. Used it from cockroaches, and from bugs, and from the Colorado potato beetle. A lot of what helped Dust. Today, as far as I understand, such universality is not provided by the manufacturer. However, when I bought Chinese dust from cockroaches, not only they disappeared, but also ants did not, and dvuvostok in the bathroom disappeared.

Important!

Operating principle
Understanding how dust works on cockroaches is easy if you pay attention to the size of the powder particles. The main effect of the tool is that the smallest particles clog the insect's spiracles. The active substances from larger particles in contact with the cockroach secretions penetrate through its shell, paralyzing the nervous system and causing death.
Feedback
I used to use sprays and aerosols from cockroaches. They are very effective, but this effect is rather short-lived, in my opinion. In addition, it is not very convenient to leave the apartment for a long time each time, then air, wash everything. Therefore, I decided to try something else. In the store, I was recommended to dust a tornado from cockroaches. She acted according to the instructions, processed the kitchen and the bathroom as much as possible, made “punctual” rashes in the apartment. Out of habit, she expected that cockroaches would immediately begin to die in agony. Of course, this did not happen. But the next few days began to detect a significant number of dead insects throughout the house. Most of them lay in the kitchen. After a couple of weeks, mortality fell, but the population decreased significantly. After that, for two months, I poured a Tornado: the remaining insects contacted him and died too. Today, I practically have no Prusaks in the house.

Dust can be used not only in powder form. For drawing in hard-to-reach places from it make solution. After cleaning the powder in open areas, wash all surfaces with soap and soda solution.
Feedback
At first, I used only dust for cockroaches. Deadly parasites, but not in the amount I would like. Therefore bought gels and aerosols. Gels are applied where the powder would be difficult to hold (on the bottom of the tabletop, on the walls of the cabinets from the inside and outside, etc.). Aerosols sprayed every day before leaving for work.A week of such work and cockroaches almost disappeared. I will continue the fight, especially since they still have eggs lying around in different places.

Prevention
To get rid of pests forever, it is not enough to use various means. The most important rule: to deprive them of the possibility of living. This means that it is necessary to remove food and water. Be sure to carefully clean the table, wash the dishes after a meal, do not leave the food open, wipe the sink and bath. All slots and openings should be carefully repaired. Only in this way can completely destroy the cockroaches.
