As the famous joke says, it’s excellent from cockroaches helps chalk “Mashenka”. Bought it – and not a single cockroach anywhere not to see. He looked behind the cupboard – they sit, draw …
Jokes as jokes, but red and mustachioed really in urban apartments have not been seen for a long time. It would seem, live and rejoice – well, no them, and glory be to God. Is it boring without them? So no, many clanking is even alarming. Where are they? And if they are all, having gathered things, they took off and left, that means that somewhere they should add up?
They say cockroaches are the same age as dinosaurs, and perhaps even ancient. Only for some reason people have much more dinosaurs reverence, every bone is kept in the museum. Probably because they became extinct and turned into a legend. And hard cockroaches are hard respect – they are our contemporaries and are considered unpleasant neighbors. IN in general, there is no prophet in his own country.
Versions are born one after another, creating rich themes for an independent investigation of a famous television channel, specializing in mysticism.
For example, some people think cockroaches don’t like radio frequency radiation from microwave ovens, mobile phones and computers with Wi-Fi. Like, unable to bear this strange tension in the air, the army of the Prussians raised their paws and surrendered. Some may have gone crazy before dying. Goodbye cruel world!
Another version: people become so offensively clean that the poor hymenoptera died of hunger. But this version is more likely fantastic. You’ll rather believe in brownies who have learned negotiate with cockroaches.
Many seriously suggest that there are still cockroaches, just became invisible. Perhaps a mutation. Or punishment Of the Lord.
There are also thoughts that the animals could not stand the abundance of products with GMO content. Reading inscriptions on banks and food boxes, cockroaches, wringing their paws, moaned: “Again E104, and here E121 …” A then they had the inevitable decline of civilization on the ground extinction of reproductive function. But earlier, at the time of everything natural, they ate from garbage cans with appetite, and nothing.
Some people don’t like boring and plausible versions. Them it’s more interesting to think that cockroaches turned their assets on this planet because they sensed something was amiss. How to give drink is coming Apocalypse.
But the head of the department of preventive disinfection of Lipetsk The regional disinfection center Galina Kuznetsova all of these he listens to assumptions with a smile. For, firstly, cockroaches not gone anywhere. And secondly, the reason that they became fewer in apartments, quite casual.
– You say cockroaches have disappeared? Well, I’ll tell you that as before, we go to the processing of apartments, where there are so many of them that you can’t get it right away! – says Galina Alekseevna. – And on catering and food production enterprises and even more so: if you do not conduct pest control regularly, cockroaches will fill everyone!
Galina Kuznetsova assures: there are no miracles in the world. She deals with the cleaning of premises from harmful insects more 30 years, studied their behavior thoroughly and can afford to draw some conclusions.
– There were fewer cockroaches because they were invented and appeared powerful chemicals for their destruction are widely sold, – comments Galina Alekseevna. – Active substances, effective against these insects, not so many, but among them there are very radical, especially the new generation.
Fighting cockroaches is difficult because of their rare survivability, ability to get used to insecticides and unprecedented fertility. At these insects have an incomplete development cycle – they hatch from the larva immediately adult.
– Cockroaches – they are wise! In places that seem to them suitable for living, they mark the territory to come here again crawl, – says Galina Kuznetsova. – And if indoors unhygienic reigns, you can not bring out cockroaches only poisons. Insecticides are useless to apply or sprinkle on top of the dirt! Before the whole place where the Prussians showed up must be washed properly! They choose to be warm and “bread”, so they love untidy kitchens. In addition, they hide in slits, secluded corners, voids in the walls, for skirting boards. Take care that in your housing was smaller than such shelters, then pest control will take place successfully. And don’t forget to check the hinges in the cabinets!
Galina Alekseevna still recalls how densely populated they once discovered cockroaches in one private bakery. True, you should pay tribute to the owners: on the advice of pest control they scrubbed clean all the dirt that had already reached that layer thickness when washing does not help, just scrape. By the way before, there were a lot of cockroaches at the bakery factories, now – far less. The reason is simple – increased processing ratio all rooms.
Processing the hostels of migrants from Vietnam in the village Tractor builders, pest control saw hordes of unfamiliar black cockroaches. True, these were not as tenacious as the redheads. Prussians, and quickly lost their ends.
Lipetsk pest control experts state: cockroaches raids on human dwellings are undulating and now we are observing precisely “low tide”. But there were times when the phone in the pest control department didn’t ceased: residents asked to come and poison unbelted insects. As a rule, cockroaches took place on hot days, especially during periods of heat waves.
You should also know that the poison is poison. From some substances insects get something like a knockdown – at first they fall as if without feelings, and then come to life, scaring people with their indestructibility. Such happens when insects are being tried pyrethroids.
But organophosphorus insecticides beat the Prussians tightly. It is chlorpyrifos that is found in odorless anti-cancer gels chocolate. Such funds act very quickly and for sure. Here with this trump card, apparently, we are currently from cockroaches and fought back. Temporarily or forever – life will show.
