To eliminate cockroach populations in your home, pest control professionals may use a variety cockroach control methods, tools and insecticides. Among these methods are:
Gel baits. A gel bait contains an insecticide in a syringe, which allows the pro to apply dabs of it all over the home. Roaches will slip through a crack or crevice, eat the bait and die. This bait is often able to take out multiple cockroach generations at once.
Boric acid. Boric acid is usually applied as a powder, which pests crawl over and then ingest when preening themselves.
Indoxacarb. This insecticide is useful for cockroach control and is often included in gel baits.
Tent fumigation. Tent fumigation is not always recommended treatment, as cockroaches can easily avoid the fumes. But, it can quickly kill a lot of pests.
When you're chatting with pest control pros, ask them what type of insecticide (e.g boric acid) they would consider using to fix your pest problem.
