“Ryazan, Vladimirsky prospect. We live in an old house, there were cockroaches and probably will always be there. My wife once a month consistently paints all skirtings, walls and household appliances with some kind of Chinese petty, and cockroaches almost never look at our apartment.Once the neighbors poisoned them with some smelly filth, so they ran to us in droves, but without any measures, then they themselves and ran back. In general, I am for the pencil.

Vadim, Ryazan

As a rule, powders are applied with a thin layer in places of insect accumulation, it is desirable to pour them in one continuous line. For ease of spraying, you can use a rubber bulb.

If the treatment against cockroaches is carried out with small insecticide (pencil), then it is applied even easier. A continuous line is drawn, which the cockroach must necessarily cross. This is done in places where cockroaches congregate, as well as in the places of their movement.
