Fumigation kills insects using an odorless lethal gas from the chemical sulfuryl fluoride. As a warning precaution, trace amounts of tear gas (chloropicrin) are released at the time of fumigation since tear gas has a strong odor and causes eye and respiratory irritation. Fumigation must be carried out by a professional fumigator who will tent the entire outside of your home with large tarps, and fumigate with sulfuryl fluoride pumped through a special hose. Precautions must be taken when having your home fumigated. Precautions Taken by the Homeowner The homeowner should make sure all people, pets and plants are removed. Seal food and medicine in fume-bags provided by the fumigator. Remove all outside plants that are close to the home, and water the soil heavily to prevent the fumigant from getting into the soil. Remove weather vanes, chimney caps and antennas to allow for proper placement of the tent. Remove boards or posts of fences that abut the house so tarps can reach the...

Our favorite cockroach expert - biologist  Joseph G. Kunkel  when asked about killing roaches says:  "I realize that most people are more interested in killing them since they are pests in their houses and can contribute to spreading disease in hospitals and childhood asthma in the home. Beware of most commercial preparations, even those that depend upon the 'natural' insect juvenile hormone. Since these are relatively slow acting,  the manufacturers often add a 'knock-down' additive poison  which gratifies the user since it provides visual proof that the treatment works when it comes in direct contact with the pest. Read the label of whatever poison you use".   I have come across 2  methods of killing cockroaches  that are non-toxic to humans:  Boric Acid and Live-traps. Boric Acid.  The crystals of boric acid are sharp and get between the joints of an insect's exoskeleton. The sharp crystals abrade the cuticle and make the cockroa...

Anyone who has ever encountered cockroach infestation faced the same problem. At first you win the fight and  exterminate the insects  completely, but after a while, their smug snouts reappear in the same spots as before. Such comebacks occur with varying frequency: the infestation may relapse monthly, every six months or annually. Why does this happen? Our apprehension is caused by the lack of knowledge about cockroaches and their behavior. Here are some facts which will arm you with valuable knowledge against these whiskered pests. 1. Cockroaches love wet and damp places.  They are especially active in the summer in humid regions. Nevertheless, they can also feel quite well in temperate climate as well given that they have access to moisture and food which are usually both available in any household. 2. The insects’ habitat is usually defined by their preferences.  Most often you’ll come across them near sewage and behind the sink, near stoves and any hea...
