In order to get rid of the cockroaches in the room, I have put a lot of effort on it. I personally summarized the information on the Internet and combined my own experience. We also welcome friends with other experience to supplement the recommended information. Our goal is to have no cockroach.

To sum up, the main task is to eliminate cockroaches and require everyone to maintain some patience. Specific details are as follows.

Looking for the source from the outside.

The first thing to know is how the cockroach enters the house, whether it exists in the room itself or whether it is from outside. In addition, if it is from outside, it will be propagated in the house very fast.

If it is from outside, there are usually three ways to enter the room.

First, from the sewer, if there is no deodorant floor drain in your house and there is no water seal in the sewer pipe, then it may climb from the sewer entrance at night. The solution to this situation is to carry out sewer maintenance and replace it with deodorant floor drains. (Cockroach can swim, even if it is threw into the toilet, it can still be alive).

Secondly, the cockroach can fly, and it may fly directly into the room from the open window. Therefore, it is necessary to install screen window and the seal the gap of window by hair pad. 

This kind of mat is placed in the gap, which can perfectly block the insect that may climb in, beside, it is cheap. The reason that we need extra mat beside screen window is I found that many insect did not try to fly though the screen window directly, but slowly crawling in from gap of the window. It took me long time to figure out.

Finally, it may be from the next door, so it is necessary to cooperate with neighbors. It is necessary to observe whether there are cracks on the wall adjacent to the neighbor's house. If there is a crack, it must be blocked with various quick-drying cement. Or you can use the foaming liquid that blocks the air-conditioning hole. Then, we must unite our neighbors together to eliminate them.

Looking for breeding place from the inside.

Once cockroaches are inside, they will often find various corners and crevices for spawning and breeding, which is hard to prevent. They are mainly hidden in the following places: under the wooden floor, corners of closet, interlayer of refrigerator, under the bed, the quilts which is not use a lot. How do we solve the problem one by one?

(1) If it is under the floor, it is generally because the gaps in the wooden floor, normal wooden floor is usually sealed tight. There is no air circulation inside, and the cockroaches can neither enter nor live. Then our approach is to repair broken floors; the simple method is to use the floor repair glue to block the space of the cockroach activities.

(2) It is more difficult to handle, if cockroaches hidden in the shall of refrigerator. Due to the refrigerator shell often heats up and dissipates heat, cockroaches especially like to spend the winter and breed in it. Therefore, the refrigerator that does not move for a long time may be the base camp of them. The solution is to raise the refrigerator to a height of at least 250px above the ground. At the same time, clean the bottom of the refrigerator every day in order to block the path of cockroaches.

(3) Wardrobes, bed sheets and quilts, under the normal circumstances, cockroaches will not live in there. If cockroaches or large amounts of their remain are found. It means that the humidity in the room is too high and the humidity inside the various cabinets is higher. At this time, the solution is to use a dehumidifier to maintain the home's humidity at 40%; Once the air is dry, they are not easy to survive, and they will escape.

Dealing with the wandering cockroaches with unknown source and disappeared

The most terrifying thing is that when I was asleep at night, a cockroach flew to my body, crawling up and down. It was a complete nightmare! What can I do with this?

(1) I have explored three solutions, preferably use all of them together.

In all corners of the house and possible paths for cockroaches, put Bayer's cockroach killer. It is a powerful one. Once a cockroach poisoned by it, the other cockroach will also get poisoned when they touch. This medicine is contained in a syringe. It only needs to squeeze out a drop a time. Put the kill once a month will be enough.

(2) In the corner which we cannot see, put some cockroach stick trap, this stuff can put there for a long time and it is effective. However, cockroach is capable to study, grown cockroaches may avoid the trap. In addition, it must be check and clean time to time, 

otherwise they may become the nests of cockroaches

(3) Put on a cockroach cage, the cage is not toxic, the center is a bait, but once a cockroach comes in, it cannot go out, and it gives out cockroach lure and seduce other cockroaches to confluence. Since there is only food and no water, a large number of cockroaches will die inside. Therefore, this box should be cleaned up frequently.

How to prevent cockroach come to your home.

(1) In fact, cockroach does not just depend on the garbage in the house. It highly resistant to starvation. But even if the home is particularly clean, the body's skin peeling, dandruff can all become food to cockroach although we can't see it with the naked eye. However, a clean environment can prevent garbage and other rotten foods attract cockroaches come and have a party in your house. 

Moreover, once they come, they will not leave, and their children and grandchildren will be infinite. Therefore, do no leave the garbage over night.

(2) The wardrobe need be cleaned up often. Keep your home in a low humidity, clean stagnant water and repair leaky tap.

(3) In addition, buy boric acid, it is cheap, dissolving it to water proportionally, used to mop the floor, mainly for toilets and kitchen. After floor dried, the white boric acid crystals will infiltrate into the gaps in the floor tiles, which can prevent cockroaches and ants.
