There are a couple of more important and urgent calls in the exterminator’s world, apart from individuals who have found a nest of German roaches. The roaches are smelly, unhygienic, and disgusting to have around and will infect everything they come in contact with.

Even though they’re not the easiest bugs to eliminate, you don’t have to live with them anymore. And you wouldn’t have to call pest control services if you learn to take care of them yourself.

In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about how to get rid of these bugs in proven ways, with tools and techniques. Ready to get rid of them once and for all? Keep reading!

How to Get Rid of German Cockroaches

German roaches are extremely difficult to control.

Let’s discuss the cheat sheet and how you create one for the roaches. Experts do not just enter a home and start spraying the insecticides. They build a strategy based on relevant data and predictability and only then take the required measures.

The foundation of this plan is a piece of detective work called an inspection that tells them everything they need to know. The inspection helps in a number of things, two of which are important in eliminating them yourself:

It gives you a clear picture of the intensity of the problem and —

• It shows you the places where the German roaches are the most active.
• If you can find the hot spots, you can handle the problem yourself.

1. Use a Vacuum Cleaner to Get Rid of German Roaches

How do you eliminate the roaches with a vacuum cleaner? You will eventually want to suction up everything that seems unhygienic — dust, debris, cockroach eggs, and every cockroach raiding your house. A lot of people find this step oddly satisfying, not only because it’s filled with vengeance but also because it feels good to murder the roaches and reclaim your home.

When you’re done with the vacuum cleaning, remove the attached bags, collect all the clothes you used, and pack them in a tightly sealed plastic bag.

2. Poison the German Roaches

If the vacuum cleaner didn’t get rid of the German roaches and cockroach eggs, turn to products such as cockroach gel bait.

Gel baits are a combination of attractant and pesticide that make up for a deadly poison when ingested. The bugs won’t get killed right away, but eventually, when they return to their nest, they will die.

A small portion of this poison isn’t enough to harm your family, pets, or the warrior on the battlefield, but a single spray of this gel bait is enough to wipe out an entire colony of German cockroaches.

3. Kill Them With Insecticidal Dust

German cockroaches depend on their exoskeletons to protect their internal tissues and hydrate. When this protective exoskeleton gets damaged, they lose its ability to retain moisture and dies.

Insecticidal dust manipulates this by causing damage to their shields, poisoning them as they ingest the dust when they try to groom it off, or poisoning them through absorption itself.

The Bottom Line

A notorious pest deserves a notorious pest control strategy. By following all these steps, you’ll easily get rid of the German roaches raiding your home and keep them away for good.
