In the event of a cockroach invasion in your apartment, baiting can be an effective method of control. One must be familiar with cockroach feeding habits before they can effectively bait for or set traps for these pests.

Cockroaches, for one thing, are constantly on the move, so they don't tend to stick around for very long at any given food source before moving on. Roaches feed off of each other, which is why baiting is so effective against them. The roaches will eat the bait and then inevitably poop on the trap, spreading the poison to other roaches.

Do not put a large amount of bait in one spot, as roaches move around while eating. Put out bait in the form of tiny drops in any places you think cockroaches might be lurking. Since this works with their normal eating habits, they will consume more of the bait.

Take a vacuum and a can of compressed air and search for roaches in the cracks and crevices of your kitchen and any other rooms where you've seen them. When on the hunt for cockroaches, compressed air can be a lifesaver. Compressed air can be used to blast roaches out of tight spaces like the space between the back of the cabinet and the wall. Roaches will be flushed out, so have a vacuum handy.

The presence of roaches in an apartment complex is usually not attributable to a specific unit but rather to the complex as a whole. In this case, you should be ready to enlist the help of your building's management in eradicating the cockroach problem. Problems that affect multiple apartments in a building require not only a concerted effort from residents, but also, perhaps, the assistance of a professional.

If the roach problem is severe or if you are uncomfortable with baiting, you may want to consider other options. fear not; contact a local IPM expert; they will be able to tailor a baiting program to your home or building's needs and will have access to and training with IGR-containing baits.

The first step after discovering a roach is to determine if there is a colony of roaches in your home. To do so, we must first locate potential roach harborages and eliminate them.

Infestations are common in kitchens. Start looking in and around the kitchen if you think you have a roach problem. These are just a few of the kitchen items that could be harboring roaches:

• Distance between a wall and a cabinet, countertop, etc.
• Where food might be found, such as inside the kitchen's cabinets
• Water was located under the kitchen sink.
• Looking inside the refrigerator's motor housing

Having roaches in your apartment kitchen is a nightmare, but the motor compartment of your fridge is one of the most likely places to find them. To access this area, detach your fridge from the wall and lift off the cardboard panel. When you take off this cardboard cover, the motor will be exposed, so get the vacuum cleaner ready. You should be ready to vacuum up any roaches that may be lurking inside before they can escape.

You should also look for cockroaches in the following places in your apartment:

• In potential moisture-prone areas, such as around pipes.
• Spaces between tiles in the bathroom that could be caused by movement inside the wall
• Messy places, especially those with stacks of paper and cardboard
• At the back of books or inside of devices

Although cockroach infestations are most common in the kitchen, they can occur anywhere that there is a source of electricity. Since cockroaches are attracted to the heat given off by electronic devices, it's possible that what you're seeing isn't just your imagination.

Be sure to inspect your bookcase for cockroaches if you're worried about an infestation. Cockroaches will eat anything made of paper, including the glue used to bind books. Check the books on your shelf for intruders by flipping through them.

It's possible to attract roaches in a number of ways, some more unexpected than others.

One of the most common and obvious reasons for a cockroach infestation is a lack of sanitation. Roaches will most likely find a source of food if garbage cans are left open, dirty dishes are stored out, or old food is discarded. It's important to keep roaches away from everything, including pet food, so if your pet isn't eating, put it away.

Roach problems in an apartment building can be exacerbated by moisture leaks. Cockroaches not only thrive in damp environments, but they actively seek out pools of water in which to drink.

There are many ways for cockroaches to spread from one apartment to another, including through pipes, chimneys, and holes in the wall, and through the possessions of visitors and new residents.

Cockroach problems, like any other pest problem, should be addressed using an Integrated Pest Management framework. Integrated pest management (IPM) entails figuring out what makes your apartment so appealing to roaches, and then eliminating or reducing those factors.

The following inquiries can help you formulate a strategy:

1. Where have all the roaches gone?
2. Where do they get their food
3. Just where do they get their water?
   

Resolving sanitation problems, discarding cardboard and other paper products on a regular basis, and sealing up any holes can often prevent cockroaches from ever entering your apartment.
