Treatment for cockroaches with fog

Cockroaches have been fought for a long time. These insects fill storage, work and living quarters. Most often they live in the kitchen, closer to the food source. They can also be found in bathrooms and damp areas, as cockroaches prefer moisture. Parasites multiply at lightning speed. A small group is enough to fill a spacious room in just a month.

To date, many chemicals have been developed to solve the problem. The downside of such products is that they can be dangerous to pets and even humans. Also, over time, insects get used to aggressive components, and poisonous drugs become ineffective. Now the procedure for treating a room with a special mist is very popular, which will rid the house of parasites.

Treatment for cockroaches with fog is rapidly gaining popularity in recent years. This is a modern pest control method that allows you to get rid of parasites even in hard-to-reach places. Due to the gaseous form, the drug can penetrate into the narrowest cracks and deep cracks. Over time, the mist settles on insects and enters their respiratory tract. Specialists who are engaged in the extermination of dangerous pests have developed several methods of fogging. Today there are 4 categories:

• cold;
• dry;
• hot;
• liquid.

Each of the methods has certain characteristics and features. Treatment of premises with fog is considered a chemical-thermal method of persecuting insects. Its principle of operation is quite simple. A functioning generator evenly sprays microparticles of poison that enter the air and affect insects. The device works like an aerosol. Chemicals quickly mix with air, penetrating even gaps or micro cracks.

The features of the technique are as follows:

• specialists use special modern equipment manufactured according to the latest technology;
• the poison not only gets rid of existing cockroaches, but also acts as a prevention of their further appearance;
• despite its high efficiency, the chemical composition has a low level of toxicity;
• fogging will relieve not only cockroaches, but also other harmful insects living in the room.

Each of the methods of bullying operates according to a specific principle. To determine which option is best suited, you need to compare them and make a choice in favor of a particular remedy.

In this case, fine chemical particles are sprayed into the air. Size - 30 to 80 microns. The chemicals are warmed to room temperature. They enter the room by spraying through a generator. The poison in a gaseous state will help get rid of insects wherever they hide.

During processing, the concentration of poison in the air reaches an extremely high value. Just one contact with the poison is enough for the cockroach to become a carrier of the decoction.Thus, one individual can infect the entire horde. For processing, special equipment is used - a cold fog generator.

The name of the following technique indicates that the room is sprayed with hot insecticides. Works are carried out only by qualified specialists. Be sure to use special protective equipment - thermal suits and respirators.

The work is carried out according to the following scheme.

• With the help of a special heating element generator, it is necessary to heat the chemical composition to a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius, whereby the pesticides become gaseous. In this state, the particle size ranges from 5 to 30 microns.
• The composition passes under pressure through the nozzle of the device, as a result of which the poison is evenly distributed under the ceiling.
• Over time, pesticides slowly settle on vertical and horizontal surfaces. The drug forms a thin, invisible film.

This disinfection option has gained popularity due to its high efficiency. It not only exterminates the entire insect population, but also prevents their reappearance. Under the influence of high temperatures, both the parasites themselves and their eggs die.

Another popular treatment option is the use of dry fog. The features of this technique are as follows:

• the procedure will not only get rid of insects, but also protect against their return from neighboring apartments;
• the consumption of the drug is very economical due to small particles - even a small amount of poison is enough to process a large area;
• the fog is evenly distributed over the ceiling, and then gradually settles, while no traces remain;
• when using dry fog, the room maintains an optimal level of humidity - furniture and other items that may suffer from dampness will remain unharmed;
• the processing speed is very high - about 20 minutes is enough to disinfect a room.

The last option we'll look at works in the same way as dry fog. In this case, the chemical composition is diluted with water in the required proportion. The main difference is the large size of the poison droplets. The end result is identical to the above options, and the room is processed in one sequence.

If you decide to use any of the methods described above against cockroaches, you need to properly carry out preparatory actions in the apartment. The process of getting rid of cockroaches is carried out in several stages, gradually moving from room to room. To begin with, the floor is covered with a chemical composition, then there are pieces of furniture. The last stage is the processing of the chandeliers and the ceiling.

To properly prepare a living space for the arrival of a specialist, you should follow these steps.

• Food must be removed from the kitchen and open surfaces. If it is not possible to store everything in the refrigerator, the food should be securely packed in plastic bags. Make sure to hide pet bowls, dishes and cutlery.
• All personal hygiene items are taken out of the bathroom. Particular attention should be paid to razors and toothbrushes - if they get poisonous particles, this can lead to unpleasant consequences. All things can be folded into a box.
• In the rest of the rooms, you need to roll up the carpets and remove the bedding. The furniture is covered with covers that will protect it from the chemical. If possible, it is advisable to move the furniture away from the wall so that the disinfection procedure is as effective as possible.
• All other items that remain in sight should be protected with thick cloth or polyethylene. This also applies to household appliances and other electrical appliances.
• No pets should be kept in the room during processing. If there is an aquarium in the house, it must be tightly closed. Glass is best and will fit snugly against the edges of the tank.

Note: Small children should be taken out of the apartment for a few days. Experts recommend wet cleaning before fogging. Even a small layer of dust will reduce the effectiveness of the preparation, since the dust serves as a protective film. Once all the preparatory procedures have been completed, you can safely proceed to the main work. Professionals in special protective gear cover room after room with fog. Hard-to-reach places where insects can hide are treated separately.

Despite the fact that the film that appears as a result of processing is considered safe for humans, you must still perform the following steps:

• food products that were in sight during the disinfection process must be thrown away immediately;
• the room must be left for airing - it will take from 3 to 4 hours;
• the next step is to thoroughly wipe the work surfaces (switches, door handles) using regular soap and water.

Before starting cleaning, you need to wait until the fog has completely settled. This will take approximately 5 hours. Otherwise, the effectiveness of processing will be significantly reduced.

Many owners of houses and apartments have already appreciated the treatment of premises with the help of fog. Reviews of different versions of this technique can be found in the open spaces of the World Wide Web. Most of the responses are positive. Many clients were satisfied with the final results.

The following were noted as positive qualities:

• cockroaches and other harmful insects not only quickly die, but also bypass the treated room;
• the procedure is performed quickly;
• curtains, interior items and furniture remain intact;
• This is a popular procedure, so finding experienced professionals is easy.

There are also negative responses:

• during processing with hot fog, humidity rises in the room - this characteristic can negatively affect the natural covering or furniture made of wood;
• the price of disinfection with a hot substance is more expensive compared to other options.

To solve the problem with high humidity, you can simply ventilate the room.
