 On the following screens, you will be presented with several scenarios that will reinforce key ideas in the presentation and give you a chance to discuss cockroach management with the group. Follow the instructions for each question. For many of the questions, you will be instructed to hit pause so that you can have time to discuss your thoughts. Resume play when you are ready. Which are roaches and which are not? Press pause now. The answer will be revealed in five seconds. These are an earwig, American cockroach, German cockroach, sow bug, a ground beetle, and a German cockroach nymph. How can you distinguish roaches from other invaders? Cockroaches have membranous wings, long antennae, and a shield-shaped pronotum behind their head. Where do these cockroaches live? Oriental live outdoors in dark wet places such as ground covers or water meter boxes. German cockroaches live indoors and are found in kitchens, storage areas, or classrooms, often near water sources. If these photos were taken in your school kitchen, what do they tell you? You have an active roach infestation. Egg cases, dead roaches, and roaches caught on sticky traps, especially if traps are changed regularly, are all signs of an infestation. You must take immediate action to get rid of roaches in your kitchen. Where should you place sticky traps? Place traps on floors along the edges and place them at each of the four corners of the room. In kitchens, place traps near sinks, under refrigerators, and under other appliances. In classrooms, place them in cabinets, near bookshelves, and near clutter. What can you tell about roaches by looking at traps? The traps tell where the infestation is concentrated and where the roaches are coming from. You can identify the roaches and determine if management efforts should be focused indoors or outdoors. What can you do to prevent or control roaches in this room? Store and seal food in containers, clean up spills, empty the trash, and use liners. And remove boxes and clutter. Keep areas clean by vacuuming under appliances and washing floors. Use baits where necessary. And use dusts under appliances and in cabinet or wall voids. Where might roaches be hiding? Roaches may be hiding in ivy or ground cover, in water meter boxes or valve boxes, near trash or clutter, or on deliveries. What can you do to prevent roaches from coming inside? Remove ivy next to buildings and replace with gravel barrier. Place baits in valve boxes and around perimeters. Move garbage cans away from doors and other building entrances. Inspect deliveries before bringing them into kitchens. And finally, caulk around windows and doors and use door sweeps. Where should you place baits if you find German roaches in classrooms? For German caulk roaches, place baits indoors, in cabinets, under sinks, in false ceilings, under desks, along wall borders, and near doors. How would this change if you found Oriental roaches instead? Oriental caulk roaches are outdoor species, so focus management efforts outdoors. Place baits outdoors, around perimeters, in valve boxes or water meter boxes, around planters, and in ground covers. Thank you for watching.
