It can be extremely discouraging when people see roaches in their homes after hiring an exterminator. Why does this happen, and what's the solution? According to pest control experts, homeowners shouldn't be concerned when they see cockroaches after exterminating because it's normal. According to the narrator in the video, cockroach control solutions are designed to be slower-acting.
For instance, cockroach control gel is designed to be consumed by roaches which then take it back to their nest.
On the other hand, roach control solutions have ingredients that attract roaches. What does this mean for homeowners? It means they might spot a lot of roaches in their kitchen and pantry after an exterminator applies these roach control solutions. Also, when exterminators apply concentrated roach control solutions, they can easily disturb roaches' nests, disrupting their habits and causing them to be seen more.
Apart from hiring exterminators, there are a couple of things homeowners can do to stop seeing roaches. For instance, homeowners shouldn't immediately clean sprayed areas. Why? Because it takes time for roach repellents to work. In addition, roaches won't stop looking for food after being sprayed; this doesn't mean that homeowners should get rid of all the food in their houses. Instead, they should store foods in sealable containers or plastic.
