Cockroaches are one of the most common household pests. In addition to simply being a nuisance, these hardy pests can transmit diseases to people. Control for the different Cockroaches remains relatively consistent across species.

1. As is typical with an integrated pest management strategy. The first step is to prevent the problem in the first place. Make sure common entry points are blocked and try to avoid transporting cockroaches into the building. Take extra care to eliminate any food which might be attracting and nourishing your infestation. As a general rule, the cleaner the environment is kept the less of a problem you will have with cockroaches.
2. Next conduct an inspection to determine the location and nature of the infestation. You can use a flushing agent such to help aid in the inspection. Also Glue Traps such asTrapper LTD Glue Boards can aid in determining the species. Simply place the glueboards along baseboards, behind appliances, under counters or any other spot the roaches frequent and determine the pest species from what you catch.
3. Finally comes the initial insecticide treatment. Treatment options include using Baits: Maxforce FC Roach Killer, 2, Insect Growth Regulators, or IGR's: Gentrol Point Source or Gentrol Aerosol, Liquid Insecticides: Talstar One, Suspend SC, or Demand CS. Aerosols: 565 PLUS XLO and sometimes even dusting voids or cracks where roaches are known reside using a dust such as Delta Dust.
4. The final step in an effective roach treatment program must be follow up inspection and monitoring. Again use flushing agents and Glue Traps to check for a continuing roach infestation.
