Cockroach Treatment from BUNNINGS?! (DIY Pest Control)

DIY Pest Control 007 - Chemical control for Cockroaches Part 2 Welcome to SPM's DIY Pest Control video series! Join us on this weekly journey as we discuss everything related to DIY Pest Control. Believe it or not, Tom Aldridge (owner of SPM) is more than happy to endorse the "do it yourself" approach if you're that way inclined. In the series we look to compare and contrast the industry standard and what can be done at home.

Of course, you can buy the concentrate and you could mix it up as well if you want to. Now, what I've found is there was a whole range of products with liquid insecticide, and they were typically all the same active ingredient, which is your bifenthrin. Now, bifenthrin has been around a really long time, and it is a really effective product. As you may have noticed with our professional products, is I didn't pick any bifenthrins to use internally. We've found other products that can be much more effective and I bring it back to over time cockroaches can build immunity, and so when it comes to an infestation, we've found bifenthrin less effective than other products. So if we move on to aerosol sprays, I think there's a few factors. As I mentioned, the type of active ingredient in it is a factor, but I think the big one is really just the way it's made and how well you can spray it. So this one is going to be, it says crawling insect killer, but really the way it's designed, you're not going to be getting into cracks and crevices. This to me looks like more of a space spray if you were spraying for flies. So to me, I wouldn't recommend that design. This one is getting better. It's got more of a nozzle where you could get into areas. And similarly with this one, it looks super fancy, but really, you know, usability in trying to get into those small areas is a little tricky. So if you can get a product like this one where it's got the nozzle, then you can more effectively get into those hard to reach places because really with aerosols, they can often be quite fumy, quite smelly, and so we want to use as small amount as possible, and the more isolated, more targeted we can be with the nozzles, the less we have to use and the less smell we've got going on. And then, of course, we've got the cockroach traps as well. So these also indicate that they have a lure attractant, not a chemical, and they're a sticky board. Again, they could be similar, but really if you're at that level where you've got that infestation and need these, we probably need to be looking at a bit more than just monitoring boards. And as you can see, there is no dust that I could find that would be effective. You can get different dust that may be able to be used in the kitchen areas, but we don't use dusts in the kitchen. There's just a high risk of contamination as you can appreciate. Dust can travel around. At least with aerosols or liquid sprays, it's going to be applied, it's going to bond to that surface and stay put. With dust, you put on hinges of cupboards, you have it floating around in the air. It's going to settle on things like cutlery, plates, those sorts of things, and to me, that's increasing the risk of contamination, so we avoid dust wherever possible in those areas. It's not to say it can't be done, but there is an art to it, and we prefer not to, and that's why we stick to things like the permethrin dust in the roof void and the wall cavities. Alrighty, so what did we learn? How do the DIY products compare to professional products? So if we start back at the gels, I would say that this particular gel is fairly on par with one of the products that we use, although only having one type does make it fairly limited. I'm not sure if I would waste too much time with those ones. I think when it comes to the insecticide sprays, there is definitely much better products than bifenthrin out there, but ultimately, it depends on the level of infestation, and if we're applying the product well in the right areas, then it could still be quite effective. With the aerosols, I think again, similar active ingredients can mean that they're quite effective, but we really want to look at how well the actual aerosol is made up. Monitoring boards, well, look, I wouldn't waste too much time on those anyway, either way. And the dust, well, the clear winner is professional pest control in that regard. Lastly, but not least the dust professional products are the clear winner on that one. So now that we know how some of the products can work or not work as effectively, why don't we get into how to apply the products.
