No one likes a roach sighting, especially if you spot one inside your home. Deciding how to keep cockroaches out requires a well-informed action plan. Using multiple strategies can help you effectively manage roaches and protect your family. PRI is committed to developing resources and tools that provide information on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques, common pesticides, and pesticide attributes.
PRI offers Pest Management Bulletins on Vegetable Gardens, Managing Rats and Mice, and on Cockroach Control. This post is focused on managing roaches.
The bulletin on cockroaches provides an overview of IPM tactics for controlling roaches and explores the benefits of low impact approaches. The cockroach pest control bulletin covers key topics on effective pest management strategies including:
Overview on managing roaches
Low impact approaches
A comparison of common ant control pesticides
Regulatory updates on ant control products
Links to additional resources
The roach control bulletin outlines the importance of preventative measures and outlines effective treatment options for eliminating existing roaches on your property. This bulletin also addresses the potential risks associated with traditional cockroach control products (pesticides). Successfully and safely managing roach invasions requires a careful evaluation of all treatment options before implementing a pest control strategy.
Our goal is to develop tools and resources that help people make informed decisions on pest management strategies. Please visit our Pest Management Resource Center for more information on our offerings.
