Some Helpful Tips When Dealing with Roaches
Cockroach from the movie Wall-E
- Cockroaches are very fast breeders. You may not know it but they
have once again multiplied and are all over your house while you’re
busy getting rid of them. The best thing to do is when you see a
single roach, do all possible steps to have them all eliminated
immediately.
- If you are not a fan of chemical solutions, you can opt for more
natural ingredients such as boric acid, eucalyptus oil and coffee
grounds.
- Baits and traps are highly effective when placed on the areas
where roaches thrive in. Be careful when doing your cleaning routine
as roaches may take a new route in order for them not to be found.
- Clean up all dog and cat poop found in your yard. Roaches might
feast on them and then flock your home, bringing along a lot of
bacteria that can cause illnesses to you and your kids.
- Tidy up all clutter. Roaches can thrive almost everywhere, so
it’s best not to give them a possible place to stay.
- If you see even just one roach during daylight, it just means
that you have a swarm of roaches in the house. Conduct a search and
destroy operation on those roaches right away.
- Clean up dead roaches immediately, especially when you killed
them by smashing. If you have stepped on a female cockroach, you may
spread her eggs on your shoe, as the eggs are kept safe and secure
in the female roach’s exoskeleton. Wash your shoe or slipper right
away, then clean up the area where you killed the roach. The best
way to fully eliminate dead roaches is by flushing them down the
toilet.
- If you don’t like caulking, use everyday plastic grocery bags to
stuff cracks and holes along walls and floors to keep the roaches
from coming in.
