Hot Shot ultra-liquid cockroach gel with cockroach bait is an effective treatment option for homeowners who suffer from minor or major cockroach infestations. Gels, including Advion pest control gel, are applied to cracks, crevices and other surfaces in the house where cockroaches are visible. They attract cockroaches from the area and kill them after being ingested. While gels are unlikely to harm pets or children, it is suggested that they be applied to inaccessible areas of the home as a safety measure.
A cockroach trap contains a bait that attracts cockroaches. While some cockroach traps cling to cockroaches to eliminate them later, most models, such as the Hot Shot ultra-liquid cockroach bait, have a poisonous bait that kills insects by These traps are placed on flat surfaces throughout the house. Most cockroaches contain harmful chemicals. If you have small children or pets, take safety precautions, such as applying the killer to inaccessible areas, to avoid accidental ingestion.
Some models, such as the Hot Shot ultra-liquid cockroach bait, also have an insecticide included to further minimize the risk of contact. The simplest and most effective insecticide for cockroaches is boric acid. It damages their digestive system and shells, killing them. You can mix it with something sweet and spread it around the pest congestion as bait.
Powders: Some insecticides used to control cockroaches are applied as a powder or powder. The most familiar to heads of households are boric acid and diatomaceous earth. To control cockroaches, boric acid tends to be more effective. Cockroaches succumb to boric acid after crawling on treated surfaces.
The tiny dust particles adhere to the insect's body and are ingested when the cockroach groans them with its legs and antennae. Boric acid retains its potency almost indefinitely as long as the dust container remains dry. Sometimes known as nebulizers, insect bombs are a chemical pesticide that is heavily sprayed in a confined area and blocks the insect population for an extended period until nothing survives. The glue does not contain pesticides, other toxins or fragrances in its composition and is completely safe for use in residential premises.
The trap is pesticide-free, so it's safe for any room in the house and for use near children or pets. While they're pesticide-free, they're a bit cruel because anything trapped there will die of exhaustion or starvation. Because cockroaches are so adept at surviving, most cockroach killers use high levels of pesticides that can kill a wide variety of other pests, such as bees, ants, hornets, mice, spiders, rats, and silverfish. There are less smelly alternatives, such as an aerosol (EcoSmart organic pesticide) that smells like mint and doesn't harm human skin upon exposure.
If your home was invaded not only by cockroaches but also by other disgusting insects such as ticks, scorpions or spiders, opt for the multifunctional pesticide Viper Insecticide Concentrate for cockroaches.
