Considered the most aggressive natural predator of cockroaches, the Emerald Cockroach wasp is an effective natural exterminator; and a cockroach's worst nightmare. Why you ask? Imagine this. The Emerald Cockroach wasp paralyzes the adult cockroach, and then lays its eggs into the cockroach's abdomen.
Some homeowners have successfully applied this strategy. However, many are concerned about generating an additional pest problem, by encouraging the growth and development of wasps; inside their home. Thankfully, these wasps do not sting people. Nevertheless, this pest control technique is far better suited for outdoor applications, and away from houses or dwellings.
Other natural exterminators of the dreaded cockroach pests, include spiders, birds, beetles, ants and mice. As well, some homeowners and tenants allow their pet frogs or geckos to roam freely at night, to hunt and eat the cockroaches. Regardless of the natural pest control method that individuals select, any and all of these natural exterminators can provide effective pest control services; to safely eliminate a cockroach invasion.
