Cockroaches
are one of the most common household pests. They are considered as a
source of health risks as they contaminate food and transmit
diseases. And although there are several pesticides available, these
can be more of a problem if not used correctly. Before resorting to
pesticides, here are some simple steps you can do to get rid of
cockroaches.
Cockroaches
are tough to get rid of, they multiply fast and are good at hiding.
First you should look for their breeding area. Focus on the kitchen
and bathroom and set up sticky monitoring traps. Also, make sure to
seal cracks and holes on walls and doors, where they can enter. Loose
floorboards and molding should also be secured.
Cockroaches
feed on food that is littered around the home. Crumbs and other kinds
of food debris left on the counter and sink are attractive to these
pests. Cleaning these up would greatly help to inhibit their
reproduction.
Cockroaches
also need shelter in order to survive. Get rid of clutter, old
newspapers, and cardboard where roaches take shelter. Move dumpsters
away from your back door and discard cardboard boxes immediately.
Treatment
should come last. If you find that these measures are not working for
you, then it’s best to call the pest control specialists in your
community.
