Disinsection of rooms from cockroaches - where to apply for treatment?

As though some comrades did not trust various insecticidal gels, Dichlorvos or small (pencil Masha, for example), however, practice shows that professional disinsection from cockroaches in any premises is in most cases a much more efficient procedure than self-excretion of pests. There are several reasons for this:

1. Such processing of premises from cockroaches is carried out with the help of very powerful insecticidal agents, many of which would be simply unavailable for an ordinary person to buy somewhere in the store of household chemicals. These drugs, designed specifically for professional disinsection, literally do not leave the cockroaches a chance of survival;
2. The second important point - professional sanitation from cockroaches is carried out by specialists,who, by the nature of their activities, know well where insects hide, in what ways they usually penetrate into an apartment and how to reach them even there, where the hand does not reach and the aerosol does not penetrate from the can. It may seem strange to someone, but in reality, even using, for example, an average insecticidal preparation, an experienced disinsector will destroy cockroaches many times more effective than if an untrained person, who simply read the instructions on the package, will do it;
3. If the sanepidemtation station (SES) is engaged in the destruction of cockroaches, and not a private company, in most cases such sanitation is compulsorily carried out in apartments that are breeding grounds for insects (there are often situations when it is good to agree with, to put it mildly, not very clean neighbors succeeds, and then the call SES can really solve this problem).

In general, it can be said that decontamination of a cockroach room by professional forces, although it costs a little more money than in the case of independent struggle, however, with the right choice of disinsection service, it is a guarantee that you will no longer see living cockroaches in the room.Even if, after processing, the premises of the cockroaches in it, for example, in a couple of months, reappear, then if there is a guarantee (and company integrity), the repeated call of the exterminators will not cost the customer money - such situations are normal and provided for by the contract for the provision of disinsection services.

But if you do not pay proper attention to the choice of the disinsection service, you can witness the following unpleasant surprises: the handler asks for more money than previously agreed, or imposes additional services (barrier processing, “double” processing, “triple” - in general, one to pay two to three times more. Well, the "guarantee" - yes, of course, it will be, so pay again, then it will be processed under such a "guarantee". It seems ridiculous, but it is a real practice in the market of disinsection services, when firms with a dubious reputation take up the task.

Feedback (an example of how it happens in practice, if you choose the wrong pest control service):

“On June 1, a specialist came to work on our two-room apartment. For 2500 rubles. In fact, we needed to make an additional 3,000 surcharge for the installation of a barrier. He was recommended by the master.As a result, we paid 5500 rubles for the call. They promised one hundred percent guarantee. Four days after treatment, they returned to the apartment back, they saw the same darkness of cockroaches there. We called with indignation, we were told that yes, it would be nice to repeat in ten days, to re-process under the existing guarantee. For 800 rubles. June 15 arrived - processed again. The master said that for the first time the treatment was not very high quality. Today, June 20, insects are still full in the apartment. In incredible quantities creep, not less. Why should we pay 800 rubles for the guarantee? And a lot of these warranty treatments I have to ?! They asked a question to the managers in contact, but no answer, quickly deleted the question and blocked the entrance to the group. ”

The main difficulty for the owner of a room with cockroaches is to be able to choose such a company that, at a reasonable price, without any markups, performs the disinsection as efficiently as possible and will guarantee a free re-sanitation if the insects reappear within the stipulated period. It should be borne in mind that debris from cockroaches today offer dozens of companies in each large city, and some of them are not only professionals,but do not differ honesty and decency.

Therefore, it is useful to be able to distinguish in advance the good disinsectors from the lovers of quick money, which we'll talk about a little lower ...

 

What is included in the set of services for the disinsection of cockroaches?

Any sanitization from cockroaches should ideally include the following steps:

1. Determining the current situation with insects in the room (degree of infection);
2. Assessing the presence of other insect species (often the apartments are simultaneously infected with cockroaches and bedbugs, frequent “guest” are also fleas, penetrating, for example, from the basements of houses);
3. Search for the main places of shelters for cockroaches, as well as possible ways of their entry into the premises;
4. Selection of an insecticidal preparation, optimal for use in this particular situation;
5. The conclusion of the contract, taking into account the survey;
6. Preparation of the room for sanitation;
7. Actually a pest control apartment or house from cockroaches;
8. Putting the room in order.

When private disinfestation services are in operation, the first item of this plan is often performed by telephone based on a customer survey.Some companies offer for an additional fee preparation of the room for disinsection and putting it in order after processing, but in most cases these tasks fall on the shoulders of residents.

 

Instructions for choosing the right company

Many companies offering disinsection services can be eliminated at the first phone call stage: according to the answers that managers give to the questions of future clients, it is quite clear what level of services the organization offers.

So, when calling the company, it is useful to immediately clarify with the manager the following points:

1. What means made pest control? The specialist must specify the name of the drugs, and not just say "powerful", "good" or "organophosphate" (by the way, there are hundreds of organophosphate insecticides);
2. What equipment do experts use at work? Depending on the size of the room, it can be hand sprayers or generators of cold and hot fog. Usually, the more “serious” the equipment used, the better (some small companies may simply send a student with a garden sprayer, as there is no money for expensive equipment);
3. What guarantees does the company give? After all, even after the professional destruction of cockroaches (and even if the treatment is carried out by the sanitary epidemiological station), insects can re-enter the room from their neighbors - traps help to catch only a part of the individuals, but they will not save them from the mass invasion of the cockroaches. Serious companies take this fact into account in advance and, even at the stage of concluding an agreement, offer guarantees for different periods for an additional fee;
4. How long the disinsection lasts - a thorough sanitation of the apartment takes at least half an hour, usually about 1-2 hours. But if the exterminators promise to cope in 15 minutes, then it is better to refuse their services.

On a note

If confidentiality is important to you, then it is also worthwhile to clarify in advance whether the exterminators will be able to arrive in ordinary clothes so as not to cause unnecessary questions from neighbors. And then the arrival of people in overalls with strange aggregates at the ready can lead to the fact that the whole house will think that something is wrong in your apartment ...

In addition, the manager himself must ask clarifying questions on which he will be able to roughly assess the situation in the apartment.He will need to find out what is the area of ​​the room, which insects, except for cockroaches, live in it, how long the last repair was done, whether an independent pest control was carried out, whether there are suspicions about the presence of cockroaches from neighbors.

The more such questions are asked by the manager, the more likely it is that the company has experience and is really interested in the quality performance of the cockroach pest control. If the operator simply asks for the address and promises to send the guys to process the apartment, then there is an increased likelihood that the company employs only two or three people, and it is possible that you are talking to the director, who himself will come to do the processing with a poorly predictable result.

 

We call the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station

Immediately, we’ll warn you: it’s not worth counting on the fact that SES will conduct the disinsection in your house. The quality of processing this organization is superior to many private companies, but because of the large load and bureaucratic work system, it is quite difficult to achieve the departure of the sanitary epidemiology station by private request.

SES can fight cockroaches with its own forces in municipal institutions: canteens, universities, schools, dormitories, markets and shops.But if the specialists of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station will carry out the destruction of cockroaches in each apartment, the owners of which did not take timely measures to maintain its normal sanitary condition, the service simply will not have time to control the epidemiological situation in the area entrusted to it.

For this reason, the SES produces the destruction of cockroaches in apartments only in particularly neglected cases, for example, when all rooms in an apartment building are contaminated. But even in such situations, it’s unlikely that less than 2-3 weeks will pass from the application to the district station to the sanitation itself. To do this, residents of the house need to write a joint statement to the SES addressed to the head of the site in which it is necessary to justify why it is useless to contact other services.

Feedback

“It is the sanitary epidemiological station of cockroaches that does not poison. They have other things to do. Once I remember such a case when I was still living in a student dorm. But even there everyone hunted themselves, as they could, and only when the parents of the students from 6 rooms wrote a joint statement, the SES responded. And they conducted the de-processing, and issued the instructions, and then went for a long time to check that the requirements were being fulfilled.And so, to the apartment SES left - it is unlikely. It is easier for private traders to contact ... "

It should be noted that sanitary treatment of rooms from cockroaches by Geradez is carried out in full compliance with the requirements of the Rospotrebnadzor, the work results are guaranteed for 6 months, and the disinsection itself is done as confidentially as possible. In general, the network Geradez today enjoys quite high popularity in the cities where there are its branches, and regular orders allow the company to purchase new equipment, train specialists and provide discounts on services.

Feedback:

“And we somehow didn’t search for or choose a company at all. The first one they got a call, was invited, they had a great pest control from cockroaches. Then we already learned that this is Geradez, which is considered to be the largest de-service in Russia.But when they called, we were not aware of it, I just liked how the guys accepted the order, how quickly they then organized the processing. We had to leave the house for three hours, and we also paid 400 rubles to move all the furniture ourselves. In general, nothing was required of us at all, just to leave the apartment while they were all hounding there. ”

Depending on the package of services chosen, the company's specialists provide guarantees for various periods and produce both simple pest control and decontamination with further prevention of the appearance of insects in the room.

The range of prices for Klop-Control services is quite wide. A simple disinsection in a one-room apartment costs about 1,800 rubles, in a three-room apartment - 2500 rubles. Complete disinsection using a cold mist generator,special gels and traps to prevent the reappearance of insects in the house and a one-year warranty costs 3,000 rubles in a one-room apartment, 4,000 rubles in a three-room apartment.

Feedback

“We chose a long time. I did not want to make a mistake, as my mother made a mistake, and three times different services went to her, and only one did a normal job. It was decided to call the Bedbug Control, although their complete processing is a little expensive. But I will tell you that it is worth it. Guys not only that all cockroaches were poisoned, but they also took the traps in the ventilation, plus where they need to be smeared with a special gel. After that, we have not seen a single cockroach for a year and a half, although our neighbors are full of them ... ”

Marina, Kazan

In addition to the above, there are also many other large, medium and small organizations represented in different cities of Russia and the CIS countries as an example of large companies. Moreover, other regional services may be more convenient to work than the big players. The consumer only needs to be able to find such a bona fide company.

 

Pest control service is selected, what next?

The fight against insects does not end after a phone call to the selected company - moreover, after the call of specialists, one can only say that pest control from cockroaches is just beginning.

An hour and a half before the arrival of the exterminators in the apartment, it is already necessary to hide the dishes, foodstuffs, toys in the packages, move the furniture in the kitchen and the rooms away from the walls.

On a note

In some cases, in the disinsection services they are asked not to move the furniture back until specialists arrive, so that the cockroaches do not have time to hide themselves. In other companies, on the contrary, they ask to do this in advance in order to speed up the processing procedure. Well, you need to do exactly as the phone manager says.

It is worthwhile to plan your day in advance so that all the residents with pets will leave the apartment or house by the arrival of the exterminators. The whole procedure together with the airing of the apartment will take 3-4 hours, and all this time there should be no one in the room.

As soon as the experts arrived, they need to check all the documents, the guarantee stated in the contract, the presence of a signature and seal on the contract itself.

The company is obliged to provide the customer with the following documents:

1. The contract with the seal and signature of the contractor;
2. Certificate of completion;
3. Documents on the preparations used for disinsection;
4. Check for payment of services.

The presence of such documents indicates that the company, at least from a legal point of view, is quite responsible for meeting its obligations.

After the disinsection of the apartment you need to thoroughly ventilate and carry out a wet cleaning. Things, curtains and bedding should be washed. Experts should tell you separately about how to deal with traps and when they can be removed.

Ideally, of course, the disinsectors should call you several times after processing to control the quality of the disinsection performed. In practice, they do this only at SES (they even come for control), and in private services they agree with clients that if cockroaches are found in the room after disinsection, the client should call and inform the manager himself.
