COCKROACH EXTERMINATION
Cockroaches can eat food scraps, fruit and vegetables left on the table, even mould, dead tribesmen and faeces – they adapt well to changing conditions. During the heating season, the cockroach problem is very acute, so cockroach extermination is very important in all rooms.
Cockroach extermination is unavoidable if you have at least one cockroach in your house, as they spread rapidly at a favourable temperature of 20+ degrees. If you don’t deal with this problem immediately, you will be doing the cockroaches a favour. Hundreds of cockroaches can breed in a few months. The greatest risk is in homes with children, the elderly or the sick, as these pests carry salmonellosis, dysentery, gastroenteritis, typhoid fever and others. Cockroaches are most commonly found in large cities. We work in Vilnius and Kaunas, contact us for a consultation today.

QUALITY COCKROACH EXTERMINATION
Without effective cockroach control, you can pay a high price – they can spread diseases that are fatal to humans: echinococcosis, toxoplasmosis and hymenoplegia. These diseases are spread by tapeworm larvae that damage the digestive system, brain and other vital organs. Cockroach droppings also cause eczema and asthma. We therefore advise you to take immediate action to eradicate cockroaches by contacting pest control specialists at good prices.
HOW TO KILL COCKROACHES?
Black and brown cockroaches are the most common in Lithuania. These pests can mechanically transmit various diseases dangerous to humans from rubbish and other dirty places. Cockroach extermination is a nerve- and money-consuming process. Here are 5 tips to help you learn how to exterminate cockroaches yourself.
COCKROACHES DON’T LIKE CLEANLINESS
If you decide to deal with the pests yourself, it’s best to be patient and undertake a major clean-up. First of all, pest control service experts recommend removing all cupboards, the stove, the fridge and other appliances and furniture in the kitchen. You’ll be surprised how much food leftovers, grease, dust and rubbish you’ll find. This is a real delicacy for black and brown cockroaches.
It is recommended to store food in airtight containers or plastic bags. It is important not to leave pet food, water and sandboxes on the floor overnight.
COCKROACHES’ FAVOURITE ROOM
Another favourite room for cockroaches in the apartment is the bath. If the bath has cornices, it is recommended to remove them to check for hissing insects. Be sure to look at the coil too – you may be surprised to find that cockroaches may be swarming behind the anchorage too. It is also important to remove any furniture in the room, clean both floors and walls, and remove dead cockroaches and their hatchlings, as these allergens are one of the sources of disease.
COCKROACH ERADICATION BY PREVENTING MIGRATION
Once cockroach nests have been destroyed, pest control experts recommend sealing off all possible cockroach pathways. The first place to start is with cracks in walls, near floors, around skirting boards and electrical sockets. Cracks under doors and around pipes should also be kept in mind. It is also important to seal ventilation openings to prevent pests from spreading from one house, apartment or block of flats to another.
THE BEST HOME REMEDIES FOR COCKROACH CONTROL
You can get rid of cockroaches and other pests by buying chemicals for non-professional use in shops to kill crawling insects. These areas should be thoroughly washed with soapy water before cockroach extermination. Spraying on dirty surfaces reduces the effectiveness of the chemicals. If there are not many cockroaches, non-chemical means can be used (special glues, pheromone traps, etc.).
The materials used should not cause toxic effects. The specific products used in the cockroach extermination process must be effective but not dangerous to human health.
It is also important to note that the sticky cardboard houses often used by people are not intended for extermination, but for detecting the presence of cockroaches. In addition, products purchased in non-specialised shops are unsafe – it is not advisable to purchase materials in markets.
COCKROACH EXTERMINATION IS EFFECTIVE USING COLD
Cockroaches are quite sensitive to cold. That’s why they crawl into flats and houses at the start of the heating season. An option is to open all the windows and if the temperature outside is below freezing (-8), the cockroaches should simply freeze to death. Of course, windows need to be kept open for about a day or more, so take care of plants, animals and objects in the house that are sensitive to the cold.
COCKROACHES ARE AFRAID OF LAUREL LEAVES
Cockroaches don’t like the smell of these plants very much, so a possible solution is to place them in every corner of the house. The most important thing is that the smell is not unpleasant to humans. At the same time, hygiene is also very important, because once you remove the leaves, the cockroaches may return.

COCKROACH DAMAGE
- Carries at least 22 species of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and intestinal diseases
- Carries eggs of parasitic worms
- Contaminates food with a specific odour and excreta
- Cockroaches can cause allergies and asthma. Studies have shown that people allergic to cockroaches can develop acute asthma attacks. And the allergens carried by cockroaches remain in the environment for a long time, even after their death. Cockroach allergy should be suspected when symptoms such as a stuffy nose, inflamed eyes or ears, skin rashes or bronchial asthma persist throughout the year, making cockroach extermination the only way out.
- Cockroach bites on humans have occurred in practice, but they are rare. In most cases, cockroaches may bite a person while they are sleeping at night, but these are accidental bites. This happens when, having found no other easy source of food, cockroaches search for food on a sleeping person at night and, finding food scraps on the sleeping person’s mouth, or between the fingers, they accidentally bite while eating. Children are the most common victims of cockroaches, as they have thinner skin and are more likely to leave crumbs from their fingers around their mouths, as practice shows. Also, if they cannot find a source of water, cockroaches may look for moisture around their eyes or nose.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How to prepare for cockroach extermination?
Before the disinfector arrives, try to push furniture away from the walls as much as you can, empty cupboards where you have seen cockroaches, clear access to pipes and collect things from corners. The on-site disinfector will identify where, how much and how to treat with chemicals.
How long do you need to be away from home?
After spraying, people must not be indoors for 8 hours and animals for 12 hours. If the infestation is not high and there are no animals in the room, treat with a gel that is as effective as the spray.
What is the cost of cockroach control?
The cost of cockroach extermination depends on the size of your living space, the number of rooms and the cockroach infestation. We invite you to contact our specialists for a quote for cockroach extermination.
