Mass exodus of cockroaches

Hm... This can't be a migration at all. But this is more likely a bad signal than a good one... If it's not the temperature (which is unlikely), then either diseases (also unlikely), or something in the water (and not in the air)... But most likely, nothing has disappeared there, but just became smaller. everything will be fixed and there will be a lot again

I have been interviewing relatives, acquaintances and strangers in Novosibirsk for two years now, and everyone has the same answer - about two years ago, cockroaches disappeared from everyone

By the way, yes, I also noticed: we moved into a new apartment - there is not even a hint of cockroaches. Although, judging by the state in which it was left by its previous owners, it's not like cockroaches - dinosaurs should have divorced in countless numbers
But still, I'm pleasantly surprised:)

it is really interesting what the mass disappearance of cockroaches can be related to. business is that when my family and I lived in Russia, in Tomsk, cockroaches in any apartments and in our including was just in bulk. Then, when we moved to Estonia, we brought cockroaches along with bogazh, involuntarily of course))) Soon they bred, and then after living for a year, just for a couple of months all izchezli completely....
climate change may play a role here-Siberia and Europe are still not so similar, but if it is difficult to explain this without moving and climate change...

Well, household insects do not care about the climate "overboard"...
How many of them could you have brought in your luggage? One or two?
If there were no cockroaches in the entire house before , then most likely the population has degenerated and died out due to inbreeding, as is the case with insect cultures in insectariums.

I figured it out now - I haven't seen Prusakov in Ramenskoye for three years either. But we have a problem, probably not in disinfection, but in a sharp reduction in the exits of heating mains and landfills suitable for their habitation, and in the houses - a massive appearance of cleaners .
Here's what's interesting : if the cockroaches really didn't survive the "improvement" of the city, then it turns out that house crickets are even more plastic, because, contrary to all expectations, they are common in the city as before.

Here I thought, so we also lost cockroaches, Prussians in the sense. It seems to me that this is due to changes in the lifestyle of apartment owners, from "landscaping". I myself keep feed cockroaches, so I know that for mass reproduction they will not have enough "a piece of paper and a drop of water" as it is sometimes written about the needs of Prussians. We need a decent amount of food, good shelters. With the current trends towards "European repairs", the modern "concept of sterility" in the apartment, cockroaches simply died out, their economy disappeared. And how great it was many years ago - you turn on the kitchen light, and there-cockroaches in all directions..

So they disappear everywhere or locally?? And can it not be that even in average hotels it is now easier to poison them and it is done more efficiently (there are more funds on sale than there were 10-20 years ago)?

Actually, it's really interesting...

they disappeared everywhere. I haven't seen a cockroach in five years. (in pictures only) and the house is a constant mess and food remains on the tables and in the sink, but they are not. but there are all sorts of centipedes and spiders, maybe they consume them?

I read the forum about millipedes - there are also poisonous ones. to be afraid and destroy, or to put up with it and not touch it?

About seven years ago, I remember, a friend of mine (who now went to Finland for permanent residence) was amazed that he had never seen a single cockroach in Finland itself. Several years have passed... Now I'm trying to remember when I saw the last cockroach in Petrozavodsk, but I can't.
And the advertising of cockroach repellents on TV somehow stopped...

Interestingly, after years of a lull, bed beetles are once again a big problem in the US. Recently, at least 2 conferences were held, and at one audience they were asked if the participants were bothered by bedbugs in the rooms where they were staying, and it turned out that several were bothered, and two had already managed to change the hotel because of this! it was in Amer. Entomol. this year with a selection of articles from conf.

Chalk Masha-all insecticides Mother Really protects only a limited list of places-where smeared.
But dichlorvos works very well! I once (I did it more than once) splashed all the cracks and corners, behind cabinets and sofas (in general, it is clear what and where), after which dead cockroaches crawled. The main thing is only to suppress them later, otherwise they will get out of the holes that they did not have time to postpone yet. If you fill everything up in the morning and leave the windows open, then by the evening there is no smell of cockroaches

"I have them too. And they appeared while I was on vacation. They were waiting..."
This is called "retreating to pre-prepared positions". Whether it will still be

I live in Izhevsk...well, in general, yes-I haven't seen cockroaches for 2 years...and they disappeared somehow at once. Cleanliness is not perfect, did not poison anything (according to surveys of neighbors, it turned out that they also did not participate in the total genocide of cockroaches) so, this is really weird.

They didn't disappear anywhere, they lived with my neighbors two floors below all this time, and now, when this only communal apartment for the entire entrance was resettled and renovated, I saw them for the first time (in the last 20 years)... and even, believe it or not, I was not happy

Still missing. And Ukraine is also affected... My friends confirm it. At least leave half a pound every day - they just don't exist.

But I didn't notice this topic last year and created a new one. I wrote there:

The other day at work during lunch chatter found out one interesting fact. It turned out that everyone noticed the disappearance of the Prussians. Moreover, we estimated that for about a year and a half we have been observing them once or twice a month. Previously, they went in herds, because there is a lot of food: we sit in the herbarium (grass in the newspapers-eat, multiply,...), and we eat there ourselves. They were regularly poisoned at our institute, but they were not bred for years, and then they themselves disappeared. Moreover, as it turned out, the same thing has been noticed for two years by friends in Kiev (we ourselves are from the east of Ukraine). By the way, the same is observed in residential buildings.

Two days after that, Prusak greeted me at my desk at work. And a day later - at home, on the computer table . And this is despite the fact that they were never found in my apartment.
Apparently, it was a demonstration: "Don't worry, we're here!"
