What methods are commonly used for indoor control of Turkistan roaches?

The use of dusts and baits is an effective method for controlling Turkistan roaches indoors, primarily because these methods target their behavior and feeding habits effectively.

Dusts can penetrate into cracks and crevices where roaches typically hide, allowing the insecticide to spread effectively throughout their habitats. When roaches come into contact with the dust, they can ingest or absorb the active ingredient, leading to their elimination.

Baits, on the other hand, attract and entice roaches to consume the toxic substance. These products often come in gel or granular forms and can be placed in locations where roaches are most active. As roaches feed on the bait, they ingest the insecticide and subsequently die, which can help reduce the population both directly and indirectly, as baits can also affect the roaches that consume the carcasses of their deceased peers.

While traps and sprays, foggers and repellents, and sanitation and exclusions are all important components of pest control strategies, they do not target the problem as effectively as dusts and baits do in the specific case of Turkistan roaches. Traps may help to monitor and capture roaches, but they do not eliminate the problem at its source. Similarly, sprays and foggers provide
