HOW TO GET RID OF ROACHES?

German cockroaches are one of the most common species found all over the US. Like most species, cockroaches thrive around human activity because they need food and water to survive. Cockroaches carry diseases and ruin perfectly good food which can be very harmful and annoying for the family. As we all know, cockroaches are very resilient insects making them the number one culprit for home infestations, especially in urban areas. There are many ways you can get rid of these annoying pests. Here are some quick and easy steps you can do to help get rid of them before seeking professional help . . .


Start by eliminating water and food sources by cleaning your house thoroughly.

Wash and put away dishes right away after every meal and clean up any crumbs and spills throughout the day.

If you have pets, routinely clean around their feeding area, and try not to leave their food out overnight.

Also, take garbage out every night.

If you live in a multifamily building, look for holes, cracks and gaps around your apartment and seal them to prevent roaches from coming in.

Lastly, look for and fix all water leaks around the kitchen and bathrooms.


   If the sanitation recommendations above do not help eliminate these pests, consider getting expert help as they may need to be eliminated using more harsh professional chemicals. Beware that over-the-counter insecticides can be costly and dangerous if they are not properly used. Most of the time, instructions are not followed properly which can be dangerous and detrimental to the party and their loved ones. In addition, using the wrong or multiple insecticides can make cockroaches resistant to the chemicals which in turn can be harder for a professional to manage.
