Pest Control: If Roaches Can Survive A Nuclear Dose, Then How Can We Get Rid Of Them?

Cockroaches secretly hide in the dark corners of your house. They most of the time also infest your kitchen for left-over food; and are particularly choosy going for more carbohydrates than protein. Even your cabinets are not safe against a roach raid. It is never pleasant to see one, more so, to feel one crawling on your skin.

Thanks to the blockbuster hit Men In Black (1997), cockroaches have increased notoriety as being the pest of all pests; trailing closely behind are rats, mosquitoes, bed bugs, and ants. The thought makes you itch and squirm.

You definitely would not want these pests anywhere near you and your family. Still, these pesky creatures have shared habitation with humans since the beginning of time. Cockroaches, in particular, are famous for not easily dying even when exposed to the strongest of pest repellents.

It has long been debated that cockroaches can survive a nuclear attack. Scientists say that cockroaches have high threshold for the bad effects of radiation. They attribute this to the DNA structure of the roaches’ outer skin or shell, which they say rebuilds faster than that of humans when exposed to nuclear radiation.

Luckily, for humans and for Mother Nature, pest control does not require nuclear weaponry. Sure hits can be delivered with military precision by your foot, if you decide to take a “personal stand” on the matter, or by professional pest control companies.

Pest control companies commonly use boric dust to pre-empt a population of roaches, mosquitoes and rats. The boric dust is made of boric acid or boron salt. It has a many commercial uses, primarily for roach control. Higher concentration of boron means the dust is in its pure form. If you intend to apply it yourself, make sure to read, understand, and strictly follow the instructions.

Otherwise, leave it to the experts. Contracting pest control companies is more practical since many have been in the industry of keeping families protected from pests for years. Complete pest control is not a luxury but a need. This is because pests are bearers of disease-causing bacteria and germs and, therefore, pose a serious threat to good health.
