Are German roaches the only kind that develop indoor infestations like this?

[@RM-jo8gy]

@bricaaron3978 typically, yes. Others such as American or smokeybrown roaches will inhabit attics and crawlspaces, but they are much more shy to human activity than German roaches. I have seen infestations of other types of roaches but nothing even close to the caliber of what this video shows with german roaches.

[@autumnyates8151]

My partner and I moved from a heavily infested apartment building. The landlord was horrible and didn't take the issue seriously, but everyone in the building was complaining about it. We broke our lease legally because of the infestation. We tried our best to inspect everything while and during moving but we still brought some over 😭 luckily our new apartment management is actually sending pest control regularly, and I'm doing my part by keeping everything as clean as possible, putting pet food and water our at night. We have rats so I've sprayed the litter tray at the bottom and along the stand so if they crawl onto it they will die. I'm so livid and paranoid 😩 crackhead cleaning. Hopefully withing a few weeks they will be taken care of. Sometimes its really hard to prevent transfer, especially coming from a building as infested as we did. Should we be putting our toothbrushes and sponges up? Everything else is cleaned and swept DAILY, and we are only eating in one room at this point.

One fact that you could have mentioned about the "diy" sprays that you buy in stores. They are more for a prevention type maintenance than they are for eradicating. Roaches are extremely adaptable and over the counter sprsys will actually eventually just become a food source for the entire colony.

Is it any wonder, then, why not even the *PERMIAN-TRIASSIC* Mass Extinction -- which killed off over 90 percent of Earth's species -- could wipe out cockroaches? That mass extinction did in ALL trilobites, as well as ALL tabulate corals; but NOT the cockroaches. Cockroaches also survived all subsequent mass extinctions -- including the one that killed the dinosaurs.

Hi Dan! Just came across your channel. My husband and I just moved into our apartment a couple months ago. The people before had a roach infestation. The exterminators kept spraying and trying there best to kill them. We move in. We think there is none but they show up. We do everything we can to keep things clean. It’s like nothing we do will work. Exterminators come out, we use homedefense bug bombs and so much more. What do we do and how many times do the exterminators have to come out? It’s just so stressful because they won’t go away.

[@butty41]

Hello if you're in a multi-unit structure you may have to talk to Property Management to get adjacent units treated as cockroaches could be harboring in those units and living in the interior wall area so every time you treat they will come back eventually so that would be a good recommendation to see if other units are having issues and to get those treated so that they're less areas for them to hide.

[@DanTheBugMan]

Agreed

[@DanTheBugMan]

Yeah just keep everything as clean as possible and preventative sprays. Check behind refrigerator to make sure there’s none back there

[@butty41]

@@RyanJessUlrich that can definitely be a little tougher to get control of. If you're going to use a pest control company I would suggest having them Dust In The Wall where your neighbors are through the light switch covers and outlet covers Etc which should be taken off and then dusted around there. Possibly sealing any cracks and crevices near the neighbor side and your wall Etc might reduce their ability to travel into your unit. Otherwise it may take a while with some regular preventative treatments such as sprays and baiting. Make sure to use a growth regulator in the spray or there are also growth regulator products such as general point source which are little stations you leave out and they help to control cockroach breeding by interfering with their hormones which stops them breeding over long period of time. Without having much detail I would imagine that it may take a good period to get them under control possibly a couple months of keeping the treatments up and preventative baiting and removing any food and crumbs Etc on the floor that would attract them so make sure to keep the kitchen very clean before doing treatments and to not wash away the treatment. Normally though if it is an apartment complex they have some requirement of keeping your apartment in good standing order which can include pest so I would definitely let Property Management know and have them inspect Because they may be breaking their lease if the neighboring unit does have cockroaches and is not doing anything to prevent it.

One of my secrets dealing with infestations like this was I would do the spray first, making sure the product wasn't a repellant like Phantom. Once the spray was complete then I would use a flushing agent like CB-80 and force all the cockroaches to come out of their hiding spaces and through the areas I sprayed. It won't kill them all instantly but in 24-48 hours the problem is solved.

I'm obsessed with pest control videos right now. My bedroom has been a complete mess for years, due to a mix of sentimentality from my childhood, pressure of what my parents would say to me when cleaning, being busy and sheer laziness. This week i have a break from work and my parents are away so i formulated a plan for cleaning my room. A lot of it is now tidy but when i was vacuuming my carpet i noticed tiny little eggs that were white/cream coloured which is the colour of my carpet which is why i never noticed them before. I've also seen black, small round bugs around my window sill and I've found patches of my carpet that have been destroyed - I'm pretty sure i have a carpet beetle infestation but i think I've killed most of the adults already as my window sill was the second thing i cleaned and was extremely thorough with it. If I'd known how many eggs were in my carpet and very old clothes, i probably would've burned my room down years ago. Got sprays for it and I'm going to vacuum every day for the rest of the week to wipe them out before reapplying the spray

[@anthonyel-ashaad6532]

He probably lays down that growth regulator stuff and being an exterminator he knows exactly where to look and what to do if he spots one on his own home an did he spots on in his own home I'm sure they're not going to make it their home.

[@kevincloud574]

[@jonmoody2858]

PC Tech here, great question. I'll answer based on the products I can see he is using. As licensed PC Techs we are responsible for adhering to the Directions for Use on the products Label. Remember: THE LABEL IS LAW and carries the full weight of law if applied or disposed of improperly. The product in the large can is PT 221L. A fantastic product and very effective against a large number of pests. On the label for this product there is no specific PPE requirement for use. Seeing how he is using this product mostly for cracks/crevices and spot treatments (I'm gonna pretend he didn't hose down the back of the refrigerator grate 😅) as well as using a straw for more precise applications and his knowledge of the product it's safe to omit certain PPE. But not all, see how he still has gloves on. Now, for the B&G, I'll use a common product that a lot of people use for both indoor and outdoor use. Talstar P: AS PER THE LABEL "All pesticide handlers (mixers, loaders and applicators) must wear long- sleeved shirt and long pants, socks, shoes and chemical-resistant gloves. After the product is diluted in accordance with label directions for use, and/or when mixing and loading using a closed spray tank transfer system (such as an in-line injector system), shirt, pants, socks, shoes and water- proof gloves are sufficient. In addition, all pesticide handlers must wear a respiratory protection device when working in a non-ventilated space. All pesticide handlers must wear protective eyewear when working in non-ven- tilated space." the label provides specific instances for the product for when, where and what PPE, if any, is necessary. All of the products we use as techs MUST be approved by the EPA as safe to use around children and animals if used as directed. So if talstar required a NIOSH approved mask or respirator during application than he would be not only in violation of federal law, but would likely be exposing himself to dangerous chemicals. TL:DR; The EPA and Dept. Of Agriculture provide us with specific instructions for the use of Insecticides that we must adhere to. While most products we use in living spaces are deemed safe to use even in hospitals, there is always a risk when applying Insecticides. Most products will not seriously injure children, pets or adults if exposure is minimal. But they certainly can leave rashes, minor chemical burns, itchy skin, etc. ALWAYS REMEMBER, THE LABEL IS LAW. PERIOD.

Pest control guy sprayed with Onslaught fast cap, they first were dying, but in 2-3 days they were running around and looking healthy again. we then applied Syngenta gel, and I sprayed with Taurus SC (recommended by friends abroad that used fipronil based treatment successfully, and we don't have kids or pets) outside and along baseboards inside, even though its not rated for indoor use. After that, things are getting better, but after around 5 days they still appear here and there, sometimes running healthy, sometimes completely dead. According to your experience, which step actually helped? Just so I use it in case I face the same issue in the future. And with no adjacent walls, only shared garage, is there still a chance that if neighbors have roaches, they will be visiting us from time to time? And if yes, what is the best preventative measure in our case? This is my first time dealing with them, and pretty stressful, we continue keeping our food in boxes and eating unhealthy, and its all pretty stressful for us. Thank you in advance!

[@DooDicky]

If your neighbour has them and does not use poison or anything you will get them soon again, just use some gel regulary, like advion or something.

[@nicks252]

This is such a great video, nice explanation bro! Roaches freak me out, but I know they won't come out of the video so i watched it

[@markorakonjac1364]

So how did this end? Were you coming back for a second pass? Were they able to sell the house? My gut tells me they just settled with burning it down lol

[@robinalford2186]

What people don't know is that those nasty things will get into your TV, audio equipment, and just about anything electrical and short it out. My husband and I went through a TV every three years before we caught on. Not to mention they are a fire hazard.

[@lilCHIQUIS1]

I like that headlamp! Do they sell that at Lowes or Home Depot?

[@vexcxxyalt]

This is insane bro your are such a G for being in there with a shit ton of those roaches

[@figgey13]

The neighbors recently moved from the apartment under us. All the sudden there are roaches

[@PaddyBoyBKLYN]

What do they eat when theres no food?

[@thedoomlord8618]

Yo, German Pest Control here! Nice video! It's interesting to see the differences in each countries tools and treatments tho. Over here, we rarely spray against (German) Cockroaches, as they're too adept at tip-toeing across it, we wouldn't get the wanted effect quickly enough. It's mainly used to create isolation barriers to entice the roaches to remain in the current location. Which is where our main treatment takes place: Toxic jelly-bait. They're microcapsulated, so that the roach does not die immediately from it. Instead, it get's enough time to share it with it's kin, once they congregate and vomit to share their food with each other. You'll get both, imago and nymphs with it, plus the dead roaches remain contaminated and since they're cannibalistic, will even take their kin into death with them long after they passed.

[@GiveUaKnuckleSandwhich]

Imagine watching this video and realizing this is your apartment 😮

[@elizabethmoorman7434]

Thank you so much for all input and info 😊 you are so brave an inspiration ❤

[@wvu9787]

Do cockroaches live outside like in the woods? or do they have to be brought in by someone like on clothes and furniture?

[@snowroaches]

They live outside, mostly in mulch. BUT, you can bring them in from the grocery store, Amazon packages, anything or anyone coming in from the outside. Pets as well.

[@louierockefeller9371]

So what's the updated

[@BrentAlanBeck]

So at 8:08 what specific aerosol brand and type are you applying there? Thank you

[@FitPowerment]

All viewers thinking: 🔥 ➡️ 🏠

[@MannyBlaaze]

10:58 those roaches were saying the same exact thing ! "Ew what is this liquid ?"

[@ernestgarrison2029]

To let your home get that bad is trifling. I saw one roach and went straight to war. I didn't know that roaches still exist. I haven't seen one since the 70s until yesterday.

[@geniusmarketing08]

Dan, why no protection? Be careful with these poisons and long term exposure.

[@sondrahull5970]

Just want to clarify that the house doesnt have to be dirty for it to get this bad. My house is worse than this and I've bombed weekend after weekend and they just come right back worse than before. Living with these bugs take a toll on your mental health. It feels hopless scrubbing the house top to bottom and constantly spraying and bombing only to wake up in the morning to more roaches in your cabinets.

[@haroldrodriguez5952]

Call an exterminator

[@redeydangle1508]

Call a professional company, bombing just pushes them into the walls, then they come back out. You will fight them forever.

[@Kindkaly23]

Agreed with the above commenter. If they’re this rampant you need to call PC. The thing about roaches is they can build a tolerance, up to immunity and pass it genetically to their offspring when using the same products. If you’re using the same brands of spray, they’re building that immunity. You need to switch it up, every other day if not week to not give them a chance

[@seraphx26]

You need a professional if it's that bad, but also keep in mind that for just about any pest you deal with you need a multi layered approach to control, just like in the video, he has aerosol, pump sprayer, and bait. Those bug bombs rarely do anything useful in my experience, you drive them into hiding for a bit then they come back.

[@anthonyf616]

@@Kindkaly23 what a bunch of genetically fascinating feckers

[@vanessagalvez4123]

It is so sad that some people live like this, it’s just not healthy and super disgusting. Speaking from a person who’s phobia are insects, especially roaches at #1 on the list 😬 Thank you for your videos extremely helpful 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@oriolesandravens]

Dude. I just discovered your channel. When I lived in Atlanta, I had a cockroach problem. I would see one or two or three a week. I bought a plug-in thing that supposedly sent signals through the wires that would dispel the roaches., After two weeks I never saw a roach for four or five months. I worked odd hours, sometimes writing on my computer all night until daylight. Any thoughts?

[@bw4ut]

There’s literally NO food in there, so what are they eating?

[@NomadShashiiiii]

You did not wear protection equipment

[@Mar-uo2bj]

It would be very informative if u did a video on the different types of chemicals that u use and how each one affects the roaches, such as neurotoxin, rapid dehydration, etc., and include a close-up view of like a trapped roach in a glass container or whatever being affected.

[@deanneparis8888]

I can’t decide if I want to check behind my fridge or never move it.

[@kevincloud574]

Probably better to check. Better to do something about a potential problem than be willfully blind to it. If it's there and your willfully ignore it in the hopes you won't see it then it might come out in the open when you least expect or want it to

[@boblossie3192]

This is absolutely DISGUSTING ! ! ! But what a great video. Thanks so much for taking the cameras into such a prime location. I'd hope I will never live in a place that gets this bad, but it sure is incentive to do the right thing from the start so you don't end up with an environment like this one.

[@Job0121]

nice video. ya did such a good job that i went around the house spraying afterward, even though i dont have any roaches!!

[@chandrum9582]

What’s are the chemicals used?

[@sheilakirby5616]

VERY INFORMATIVE *** WITH A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF YOUR PROCESS *** WELL SPOKEN AND HANDSOME TOO !!! FOR THIS MY FRIEND YOU HAVE JUST EARNED YOURSELF A NEW SUBSCRIBER ❣️❣️❣️ MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT MY FRIEND ❣️❣️❣️

[@dkhnova]

Refrigerators provide everything roaches need. Warmth (from the motor), Food (spills and crumbs on the floor), and Water (because the cooling mechanism produces water, much like an air conditioner or dehumidifier). Spraying poison and putting down bait is good ... but equally important is cleaning. That house needs some work done with a mop and a bucket of Pine-Sol diluted with water. Or ammonia with water. ... (But don't ever mix cleaning products together! That's dangerous!) Roaches hate these cleaning products, btw. Either ammonia or Pine-Sol kills roaches on contact.

[@minniesmomma6374]

I have been told never to use pine-sol because it attracts the big cockroaches. They live in the bark of pine trees.

[@happyhappyaus2128]

Came for the bugs, stayed for the hot guy.

[@hurtado102]

What are your thoughts on the termidor hp termite treatment. Had a local guy swear by it, but it seems like one of those things that's too good to be true

[@DanTheBugMan]

No termidor is amazing! Expensive for a reason

[@snowroaches]

We use Termidor for ants too.

[@dereckc9469]

I used taurus sc to trench my house as a preventative against termites same chemical half the price. Never had termites but took care of any ants and havent seen any roaches either stuff is amazing

[@ricardomunoz6203]

Great videos… I’m starting to watch more because i just started working at a pest control company but you not wearing ppe all the time scares me 😌

[@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm]

It's because he's making KZbin videos and wants everyone to see his pretty face 😁

[@jacktaylor6155]

What is your opinion on cleaning up the fecal matter? Does it deter or attract more roaches?

[@SetiSupreme]

The roach feces is the main thing that attracts other roaches. If a place has a lot of roach poop, the others will smell it and gravitate towards it. They see the smelly place as a safe place.

[@Problematiqu3]

I’m in an apartment building. Only 10 units, and someone brought roaches with them last year. An out of reach shelf in our kitchen was covered in poop in just a few months before we realized. We had an exterminator come and I give you guys so much credit for dealing with these nasty nasty things. I’m curious what do you do so you don’t bring roaches home with you if they get on your shoes or clothes? If you move out of a roach place how do you not bring them with you?

[@gurriato]

I can't imagine being one of the people who had to clean out that house before this guy came in.

[@oakly0059]

Doing this with no ppe is wild bro
