Sanitation and Exclusion
Sanitation and exclusion are the first things required for this type of roach. If you eliminate food sources, moisture or their harborages, it will put such pressure on the roach population, leading to better results with your pest control measures.
Sanitation and Home Repairs:
- Keep attic and crawl space well ventilated, reducing moisture.
- Stop water leaks, screen equipment overflow drains,
and take overflow water away from buildings; keep drain traps full or
capped.
- Store firewood as far away from the house as you can. If you can lift it off the ground, it will help eliminate harborage areas.
- Discard old boxes and piles of papers where roaches can hide.
- Use a tight fitting lid on your trash can.
- Fix leaky drains and faucets, these roaches need water to live.
- Clean kitchen appliances thoroughly to eliminate food sources.
- It is not wise to allow pet food to sit out overnight for indoor pets. For outdoor pets, pick up the food after they are finished eating.
- Stop water leaks, screen equipment overflow drains,
and take overflow water away from buildings; keep drain traps full or
capped.
- Remove rotting leaves from window wells and gutters.
Exclusion:
Although the Smokybrown roach has many places to habitat outside, it will enter if there is an entry point.
- Seal as many exterior cracks and holes as possible on the outside of the home
- Caulk all penetrations through ground level walls.Caulk and repair holes around doors, windows, water pipes and baseboards.
- Place mesh screens over windows, floor drains, and vents. Seal any cracks or holes leading indoors with caulk or other sealants.These places serve as roach locations.
- Make sure that doors and windows fit securely inside the frames, to eliminate entry.
Pest Control Products To Use for Smokybrown Roaches
Outside Treament
Sprays:
Generally speaking, control measures should concentrate
on the outside of the building and points of entry of the Smokybrown Roach.
This is called a "perimeter
or barrier" treatment.
You may use concentrated residual sprays : D-Fense SC, Cyzmic CS, Cyper
WP or Demon WP inside or outside.
Spray a 3-6 foot band around the entire house. Spray outside around doors, windows, pipe openings, and dryer vents.
Recommended products are in the table below. They would require a pump sprayers.
Granulars : You may apply
granulars around the base of the house, particularly in areas of pine
straw and mulched areas. |

Indoor Treament:
Sprays:
Apply also on the inside on the baseboards near the entry pts.
On the inside-apply around the plumbing under the sinks and washer and
dryer connections. You don't have to spray all the interior baseboards,
just the corners and baseboards inside the garage and basement areas.
Insect Baits:
If you have these larger cockroaches entering inside your
home from the attic area (due to trees that overhang the attic or gutters
that are not clean) using baits like Intice insect baits, would give you very good results. Intice Baits would also be excellent choices for
crawl spaces and or attics.
Dusts:
Dusting with a hand duster where the Smokybrown roaches would be traveling. Such places would be behind baseboards, wall outlets, wall voids and underneath appliances. The recommended dust is D-Fense Dust.
