cockroaches

[scaredyclassic]

we once rented a place that was so cockroach infested we had to bail after a few days. it was just terrible. Now making offers here and there i have this fear that I’m going to buy a heavily bug infested place. Anyone have or know of bad cockrach problems in the temecula/murrieta/surrounding areas…? any luck in eradication?

Black Flag used to make a awesome product called Roach Ender. It sterilized any roaches not killed by the insecticide. I suspect that product is only available to pest control now.

Where was the place that you rented. In my twenty years as a Temeculan I’ve lived in 7 places and have never seen a single roach. When I was younger and lived near the coast and in some apartments in college, I saw them, maybe not an infestation but they were there. From my understanding, while they are practically invincible, they can only live 10 days without water (and 10 days without a head) so their one weakness is water and I think the arid climate here makes them not so prevelent.

I’ve found numerous black widows, some scorpions, a couple tarantualas, snakes, coyotes, ants and the smartest most risilent gophers on the planet, but no roaches or termites (I’ve never seen a house tented locally). So I would file that under the “scardey’s long list of irrational fears.”

If you do find yourself needing pest control services, vineyard valley pest control is my favorite, hands down. A locally owned outfit that is a little on the environmentally conscious side but they are good and they know their stuff. The only time I ever had ants was during the times when I switched to a cheaper pest control company or tried it on my own, always ended up going back.

Since I’m ranting about the gophers, I’ve tried everything and have not caught a single one, they have a logistical advantage as there is a fenced in, multi acre hoa owned hillside desending down from right behind my place so I cannot bring in a predator or flush them out with water. I’m convinced they eat the poison pellets as an appetizer, they trigger the traps without getting stuck in them, I am just going to give up. Can you buy gopher snakes and just release them into the holes? Since you are fearful of zombies, you can have my gophers because zombies are no match for my gophers.

I had roaches and fleas in a fixer I bought and a good cleanup of the filthy yard, then poisoning got rid of them. I spread something like dianazon around the yard. I don’t think you can buy that anymore either.

TG, As you probably know the gophers migrate to wet soil if they are not there already and that they pop up every few feet. I put a clean perimeter around my vegetable garden so I can see them coming towards it. This way you get a chance at dealing with them on less than prime real estate.

You can also use large pavers, about 18″x18″, by standing them up, end to end in a trench, leaving just enough showing to make an attractive and sturdy border for whatever it is you are trying to protect. It isn’t perfect, but that plus some vigilance will work. If one climbs across the border and digs in( which won’t happen often), you know it is in a confined space and you can use the hose or what ever you want to go after it. They can hide from water by climbing up into a raised part of the tunnel system and watching the pretty river go by. I got rid of one last year, that I knew was confined to a small area, by making a probe that I could inject water into the surrounding areas with. You can feel a give when the probe finds a tunnel and turn the water on. I think it drowned, not sure, but the damage ,which was happening to a huge pumpkin plant, stopped and the pest never re-appeared.
