How to get rid of roaches reddit
Why ROACHES infest ELECTRONICS & how to stop them!
hey everybody this is Jason with green
acres pest control you have to forgive
me I've been suffering from a little bit
of a head cold I don't know what it is
we've had a lot of rain and stuff around
although if it's mold in the air or what
it is I don't know but today I want to
talk about cockroaches I don't want to
talk about mainly specifically this is
something that I'm actually putting this
in my cockroach Monday series but just
so you know if you want to see any other
videos about cockroach control I do have
a cockroach Monday series that I put out
a few months ago and it was on Mondays
and I did one video every Monday to try
to teach people about cockroaches and
how to get rid of them themselves now
this question was actually asked on my
YouTube excuse me about how to get rid
of cockroaches in electronics like
Playstations computers Xboxes wheeze you
know all these different things
cockroaches love electronics anything
that's plugged in the wall not just
cockroaches ants will live with them too
but cockroaches really like electronics
and the reason they like them is because
they give off heat they like to get into
refrigerators they like to get into
microwaves ovens they like in really
really infested homes
you'll find them in living rooms living
inside Playstations computer systems DVD
players VCRs if you still have them they
live in those two and a question the
question that was asked was as pest
control how do you kill roaches in these
electronic devices because you don't you
can't just take raid and spray it inside
your PlayStation you destroy your
PlayStation or your computer for that
matter and you could cause a fire so
hopefully at the end of this video I
would have explained a little bit on
what to do now what I'd normally
recommend people do that you have to
treat your home for Burt for roaches
crack and crevice which is when you take
your your pesticide tank you go around
and you treat all the cracks around like
your baseboards you
a cord around your crown molding you
treat you know if the if the paneling on
the wall is starting to separate from
the wall treating the crack of the
paneling where it separates because
roaches love living that take your
pictures off the wall treat the backseat
of picture frames and stuff you could
use bait you could take like a max for
steel bait or add V on or what's another
good one add beyond um shoot Vendetta
Vendetta is good and you can put just a
little bit just like a pea-sized like
you know just a bit a little bit all it
takes
on the back of your picture frames and
hang them back up on the wall and you
know you need to start control in the
house you need to try to you could
actually this is this is a technique I
used to do years ago I still do it
sometimes is use to different chemicals
now if you have two different sprite
tanks if you were do it yourself you may
only have one spray tank go out and buy
a second spray tank and the reason I say
this is because if you use something
like I I recommend this is a chemical I
recommend for cockroaches I'm gonna tell
you right now now I can't Oh Alpine
Alpine WS g WS G stands for
water-soluble granule it's a dry
pesticide that you mix to a gallon of
water so you'll take your water you mix
about half full in your tank you put in
your active ingredient which is the
Alpine and then you fill the tank rest
away with water shake it up real good
make sure it's really well dissolved and
agitated and that's a tank of Alpine now
I use that a lot for cockroaches and
ants fleas even you can use it for its
really good pistol pesticide and then
you'll want to use something like and
this is what you'd use in your other
tank because Alpine is a non repellant
pesticide which means the roaches don't
know it's there so what I do is I use
the Alpine in the kitchen in the
bathrooms the places where they're
because German cockroaches are attracted
to water now that's what we're talking
about we talk about German cockroaches
here German cockroaches are attracted to
water so if you treat your kitchens and
your bathrooms around your water heaters
places like that with the the Alpine
which is what they want to be around
they want to be around the water source
they don't know the chemicals there so
they'll crawl into your kitchens and
your water heaters and stuff and they'll
crawl through that chemical and they'll
die in the rest of the house every other
room of the house bedrooms living rooms
computer rooms you'll want to use
something like demand or demon or
talstar something like that because they
are highly repellant they're Paree
throats they're highly repellant and
they will chase the bugs out of those
rooms into the rooms they naturally want
to be in like kitchens bathrooms water
heaters and I've found that that's just
a really really effective way to kind of
force the roaches when they're really
infested in there in other rooms it
forces them to go into those areas where
they're then you can kind of target and
get rid of them easier it gets them out
of your entertainment systems and your
your video game systems your computer
systems your electronics things like
that and it forces them into other rooms
where they want to be so if you bait now
you could take some bait like gel bait
which a lot of people know what it is
it's it's it's kind of looks like peanut
butter a lot of people call it peanut
butter oh that kills roaches roaches
peanut butter brooch butter there's lots
of different names I've heard people use
for baits but if you take a little bit
of that that bait like I said about
pea-sized amount very little you don't
need these long lines you do these like
I've gone in homes and they'll have a
long line of smeared bait all over
everything it it's just nasty it looks
gross and it's not gonna work
roaches don't live together typically
that you might find clusters of them 10
15 of them clustered together but they
live all over if they find a crack
they'll go in it they'll live in it if
you put a little bit of bait in that
crack if you haven't put any pesticide
oh don't put pesticide in around your
bait because you will contaminate your
bait if you if you mix pesticides with
bait so you take a little bit of big
bait you put it over at a crack where
you know the roaches are living and
they'll eat it you could do that with
your Playstations
you can do it with your computer systems
you could do it with your entertainment
systems like on the back of your
television around your cords where they
go into the tale TV if you've seen
roaches going into your TV
you could put a little bitty dot here
and there on the back of your television
and what that's gonna do because you
can't spray inside your TV that's gonna
entice the roaches to come out because
they're attracted to the bait so they'll
come out they'll eat the bait and then
hopefully they will die so that is my
best recommendation I have used dust but
I don't want to recommend using dust
because you can ruin if you're not
really careful you can ruin your
electronics with dust so I don't
recommend it I recommend bait bait does
work I've actually been able to
eliminate cockroaches in restaurants Oh
using bait and it's the number one tool
for exterminators and I can't stress it
enough you need to make sure your baits
working if you've been applying your
bait for a month or so and it's not
really making a difference you need to
switch and use a different ingredient
because your roaches are probably immune
to what you're using so I hope this has
been an informative video I hope this
has helped to answer that question um
you guys have a really great day I
really appreciate all the love and
support you guys show me on my channel
if you have any questions at all don't
hesitate to ask I have a facebook I'm on
Facebook Instagram Twitter Green Acres
pest control LLC look me up and I I

I want to thank your my patreon I got to
David and at the time of this video I
have to anyway so if you're not listed
I'm really sorry but David and Gibran
you guys are really awesome I really
appreciate it amazing people I take my
patreon and what it is is it's a way
that people can donate to needy families
in Virginia who can't afford their own
bed bug service I take all the money
from patreon I put it in a separate
account and I put it towards these
people's homes so that they can get the
help they need because bedbugs are an
epidemic they're very expensive to get
rid of the chemicals are expensive I
can't afford to do it for free but I
mean I have done a few for free but I
just can't afford to keep doing that for
free I have to be able to afford to do
it somehow to help these people and so I
take that money I put it towards their
pesticides a lot of times I will just do
the labor myself and I don't even try
for it so just to try to help people out
that's what this channel is for I want
to help people if you're just coming to
