Cockroach Pest Control
Cockroach Pest Control for Your Home
Cockroaches are among the worst kind of unwanted houseguests. They generally enter homes unseen inside egg cartons, cases of beer or soft drinks, in sacks of potatoes or onions and in the cushions of used furniture. They're hard to catch because they move frequently during the summer months. But once they're in your house, they can ruin food -- infecting it with bacteria that can cause food poisoning, dysentery or diarrhea -- and cause horrible odors.
The best way to approach cockroach pest control is to examine your home after dark with a flashlight. Use sticky glue traps and a thin wire to probe hiding places. Cockroaches generally cluster together. You can use pest control sprays and insecticide to flush and kill cockroaches.
But if you're unable to take care of the problem yourself, you ought to consider hiring a professional to do the job.
Preventing cockroach infestations is a bit trickier. Since they're usually carried into your home without your knowledge, keeping a clean house is really the only way to prevent them from making your home their home. Spilled foods and food scraps left on countertops overnight provide feasting grounds for cockroaches. Food should also be kept in tightly sealed containers, and cans and bottles should be rinsed before being placed in recycling bins. Don't leave pet food out overnight.
Be sure to thoroughly wipe beneath kitchen cabinets, sinks, stoves and refrigerators, as well as inside cupboards, pantry shelves and food storage bins.
