How to Get Rid of Roaches

Roach Control, Identification, Roach killer and Roach Products

Roach Control

Roaches are tough, they adapt well to a variety of environments and they have been consistently successful in irritating, nettling, infesting and harassing living things--especially people-- for over 300 million years. In short, roaches are not a popular type of insect, and if you, like so many others, want to learn how to get rid of roaches, simply follow these steps:


The Do My Own Pest Control Process: How to Get Rid of Roaches

Do My Own Pest Control provides its website visitors with the knowledge and products that they need to get rid of cockroaches on their own and save hundreds of dollars by not hiring an exterminator.

To kill roaches it is helpful to identify the type of roach that is infesting your home or commercial environment and in addition, identify the roach control products that will most effectively eliminate each type of roach. The following six types of roaches are the most common in the United States:


Roach Identificaiton


 

American Cockroach

  • Other names: Palmetto Bug, Bombay Canary
  • Identification: The American Cockroach is reddish-brown, up to 1 1/2 inches long, has wings and is capable of some flight, usually from an upper location to a lower surface. The antennae tend to be extremely long.
  • Biology and Habitat: American roaches are common outdoors in landscape plantings, in sewers or storm drain systems, and in lower areas of buildings where moisture may be greater. It may inhabit storm drains in huge numbers, emerging though man-hole covers at night to invade buildings.
  • American Cockroach Control: Because American Roaches come from the outside, control should focus on the outside and around the foundation of the structure.

    Product Recommendations:

    Use liquid insecticides to spray a barrier against and around the foundation and all entrances into the building:
    1. Talstar One or Bifen IT
    2. Demon WP
    3. Cynoff WP or Cyper WP
