Let’s deliver a one-two punch to German cockroaches. They are world-class hide-and-seek champions, often requiring follow-up treatments. After performing your IPM program and completing your initial treatment, you should return approximately 10 to 14 days later for a follow-up treatment by applying insecticide dust, gel bait and glue boards, for example. Apply insecticide dust into void spaces where cockroaches hide and thrive, but humans do not typically encounter.

Pyrethroids can cause a “flushing,” or repellency response from German cockroaches (Blattella germanica). Residual pyrethroid applications could be repellent for long periods, depending on the surface. These behaviors easily can go unnoticed by technicians initially but become apparent with repeated callbacks and treatments. If repelled, the cockroaches will become determined to find new foraging routes to food and water sources — and avoid particular pyrethroid-treated areas.

Assessment-based pest management, or APM, was created for the pest management industry and works well with public health pests like bed bugs. When treating bed bugs, I think we all tend to make an assessment about the level of infestation or population before doing any control measures. With APM, we can use our assessment and inspection to treat each infestation differently because they are all unique. Treating every bed bug infestation with a single protocol can lead to failure.
