How to get rid of roaches in dishwasher door
How to treat roaches in your dishwasher
hey there Jerry Shadrach the bug doctor
with pest cemetery calm I'm here in the
kitchen doing pest control for German
roaches around a dishwasher the
customers complaining of having roaches
disappear into the cracks and crevices
and their current vendor just can't seem
to get rid of them
dishwashers pose a really significant
barrier for your pest control efforts I
want to show you why
number one the problem with this
dishwasher and the technician before is
he used dust and you can kind of see it
to get in here and to eradicate the
roaches we'll look at all the barriers
the dust has this is so tight it had no
room to go to fill this cavity also the
roaches are hiding underneath this
insulation so anything he put above
they're simply protected same goes with
aerosols you could try and put your
aerosols in here and it's just not going
to go very far you're going to get a
half inch maybe of penetration and the
roaches will simply avoid the area
so my next logical way to deal with
these guys is maybe baiting
but I tell you at times you can only get
about a quarter of an inch half inch of
this bait tip into the void this huge
void that the dishwasher sits in so it's
limited as well to combat that I might
use an extender and see the the more
penetration I can get but this thing's
pretty thick and bulky dishwashers are
put in very very tight so a lot of times
you won't have this width of a crack or
crevice to get this tube back them in
the other possibility is just a simple
mask or station the problem with that is
if you lay it up here you'll never get
the dishwasher back in perhaps if you
can take the dishwasher out and that
would be optimum by the way
however dishwashers are one of the
appliances that is most solidly rooted
in the cabinet work it's in with screws
a lot of times people tile over it the
front entrance so you have no
room to pull the darn thing out so
you're very limited but if you can pull
it out and there's room maybe you can
sneak it in in here that would be a nice
alternative however like I said you a
lot of times you just can't get that
thing out so one tool I use quite a bit
is the knife in and I put it in a little
puffer and I can squeeze that and get
some back in here and some will drop
down around the edges and it'll give me
more coverage then perhaps my air
assaults or my dust the dust is one
thing I just hardly ever use on the
dishwasher unless the void is huge and
acting did it back in there and part of
the reason is when the man comes out to
service it and he's pulling this thing
out it's just gonna start floating all
over the place and it's not not good to
breathe the main problem with
dishwashers is think of this whole area
as a unit the refrigerator dishwasher in
between and the sink all three of these
are just a paradise for German roaches
you've got your water sources the
condensation of the motor the dishwasher
obviously water and the sink maybe you
have dripping pipes perhaps or just
condensation on the pipe but anyway
you've also got plenty of free run all
in behind here and a huge expanse you've
got the expanse of the motor of your
refrigerator the expanse around the
dishwasher and then the holes in the
cabinet work where it's so hard to get
to and work on a regardless of what
you're doing pest control or minor
plumbing and that just is a easy Avenue
for roaches to go back and forth so
while you may put a good barrier behind
the refrigerator and you're able to pull
it out you're still limited in this area
perhaps you can do more up under here
with your baits and your dust and your
powders but again you're still got this
third of a section here that the roaches
can just live and thrive and just be a
real pain
but to get rid of because anybody can
get rid of 95% of the roaches it takes a
real pro to get rid of that last 5%
that's where homeowners fall far short
and this has been Jerry Shepard I hope
