How do you know if you are infested by cockroaches?

german roaches are nothing to play with. Not only do they spread filth throughout your home, but they also carry pathogens that can contaminate the food in your home. The big problem with German roaches is that they can lay as many as 40 eggs at a time. On top of that, the eggs can mature in two months. That means you can have a rapid infestation on your hands. And once they infest your home, they are very difficult to get rid of. That’s why professional German roach treatment is so important.

Can 70 percent ethanol kill the bed bugs?

If you submerge bed bugs in 70% ETOH solution, it will kill them. However, if you just apply it to a surface, and expect it to kill bed bugs that crawl over it, that won't work. The ethanol will evaporate quickly, and once it's dry, it's not effective in killing much, although it might do an okay job repelling bed bugs for a little while, but ethanol isn't a safe chemical to expose humans to.

Where can you find cockroaches?

Any country that is not too cold for them (try Norway, for example).

Do you have the right to move out of your apartment due to roaches because you are worried about your sons health?

Well sure? But if you live in an apartment and roaches are an issue the you should notify your landlord. Renter rights says he/she/they have to take care of the issue at no cost to you if you live in America. Not sure if it's the same outside the US.

As far as being worried about your sons health do to the roaches, you should be. These things nest anywhere possible and they are well known as "bed bugs". Yup, bed bugs eat at your skin and these little intruders eat at the dead skin cells on your body, sometimes penetrating your flesh causing "bug bites". These bug bites can turn into a major health risk and sometimes even surgery to have them drained.

You may wonder what will help get rid of them? I am no expert, but, I do know a few things for sure. 1.) keep any and all accessible foods in containers. 2.) keep your home clean and take your trash out daily. 3.) Freeze your home for about a week. Find somewhere to stay and turn your heat down to about 56 degrees, unplug any electronics as they produce heat, and this part is a must, take anything out of the home that they can use to keep warm like clothes, blankets, and other cloth like items. Then the day before you return, bomb the place with raid. Then it's clean up time... Hope this helps... Good luck :)
