The effectiveness of folk methods depends more on how correctly you act and whether you can withstand recipes. A single-valued plus in favor of just such methods is their relative safety, since practically all components of funds from cockroaches, bedbugs do not have such a pronounced toxic effect on humans.
If you decide to give preference to such methods, the most effective ones are:
- Boric acid - 30-40 g is enough to mix with 1-2 egg yolks, roll balls and spread out behind cabinets, plumbing, near trash;
- Boric acid in the form of a solution - it processes washes and sinks in the kitchen, bath and even toilet bowls in the toilet, so that the cockroaches drank poisoned water( without it they can not exist) and quickly, surely died right before your eyes;
- Bura - powder is also mixed with eggs or potatoes and rolls into balls for layout throughout the house;
- Boers with a higher bait effect - so that none of the insects could hide or miss past the "treat", you can slightly change the recipe.

Of safe, but really effective ways to fight, we can note only the use of wormwood and heat treatment. A steam generator, a hair dryer, and laundry, all removable textiles from beds, and sofas at a temperature of 90 ° C are perfect.

Of course, today you can find not only positive, but also many negative reviews, literally about every product sold in the sale. But we must understand that this is due not only to the reliability of the manufacturer, but also to the competitive struggle of companies for the championship, since their sales directly depend on the volume of sales.
The subtleties of activity in the market
In general, it can be said that each manufacturer knows the characteristics of various insects and in some way responsible for the production of their products. Here it is important to consider the following:
- Some include highly toxic and aggressive chemicals, which, naturally, can literally in a matter of minutes make cockroaches and bedbugs disappear once and for all from your life. But, as a rule, these pesticides are unsafe for you, which manufacturers keep silent about, because the remedy is effective.
- Other "experimenters" offer seemingly less effective means, the effect of which can only be obtained within 2 weeks, or even a month. But so long to wait to get rid of cockroaches, bedbugs, not everyone is ready.
Based on this, and there are different opinions, different opinions and always topical questions - how to get rid of cockroaches, bugs quickly, but safely.
The correctness of the choice of the tool and its application
The absence of the expected result can occur for other reasons. You simply did not do the following:
- did not understand the types of means by which cockroaches and bedbugs are being destroyed;
- did not take into account the terms for obtaining the effect specified by the manufacturer;
- is not correctly applied.
It is important to take into account such features of different products.
Gels
Designed to get rid of cockroaches and bedbugs within 1-2 weeks. And in this case, the goal is to destroy not those insects that you see every day scurrying back and forth, and those that never come across to you are not your eyes. The poison acts in such a way that several pests, having got into the zone of action, spread the poison throughout the colony. As a result, the entire population is extinct.
Important! At the beginning of the process of harassment, the first 1-3 days, the number of individuals can supposedly increase significantly. They will "fly" on the bait in the composition, and then "drugged" to run even where they have never appeared before. All this is a temporary phenomenon. It is impossible in this case to increase the dose or re-treatment due to the "ineffectiveness" of the originally purchased product.
Pencils
They have a more deterrent effect, so it's not so much effective in destroying cockroaches, bedbugs. As a rule, you will not find corpses afterwards, because insects just leaving and do not return to your house. But again, this is not an instant decision, but a 1-2 weeks process.
Aerosols
Such means as are intended to get rid of cockroaches, bedbugs instantly. Suitable for processing visible insects, that is, destroy only them. On the hiding individuals this poison usually does not work.
Traps
Another popular device that also has a long-term effect. Inside such boxes is at the same time poison and bait. Poison is carried by the "cozy houses" used by insects to the places of the main habitat of the colony. There the cockroaches die.
Important! Choosing a specific brand of a remedy to get rid of cockroaches, bedbugs, remains your choice, since the options to date are more than enough. Not bad proved such brands: Combat, Raptor, Get, Clean House, Raid, Cucaracha.
Ultrasonic Scalers On the one hand, these devices seem to be safe, because manufacturers claim that radiated waves do not affect human health in any way. Nevertheless, this is a relative novelty in the market, accordingly - studies are still under way. It is impossible to fully confirm the safety of these devices.
Efficiency - depends on a properly selected model, on the reliability of the manufacturer. But usually cockroaches, bedbugs leave their habitat only after a couple of weeks. But as a preventive measure, try this miracle novelty if you have no children at home, and you yourself are skeptical of all the warnings and hysterical statements about the harmful effects of ultrasound on the web.
Now, we hope you can more rationally deal with the fight against insects in your home, not hurrying to pick up a really suitable tool, do not hurt yourself and forget about cockroaches and bedbugs forever.
