Helpful DIY Tips to Keep Roaches Out
Roach infestations can be a real BIG problem!
Though small in size roaches can reproduce at alarming rates and make your home their own in no time. These pests are known for spreading germs and bacteria. Acting as vessels, they often carry germs that can cause intestinal diseases such as dysentery, diarrhea, cholera and typhoid fever. Roaches can even trigger allergic reactions and even asthma attacks in some.
It's best to keep them out at all costs, but before hiring a professional be sure to follow the following helpful DIY tips to ensure you're not inviting them in.
Eliminate water sources .
Cockroaches must have a source of water above all else. Depending on the temperature and their size, they can live for a month without any food, but no more than a week without water.
Hide your food.
Roaches will eat anything to survive including feces, trash, and food crumbs. Keep food containers sealed, and don't leave food out for extended periods. Be sure not to leave dirty dishes out overnight, and don't leave fruit on the countertop.
Clean your house thoroughly .
It almost goes without saying but a clean house is key to keeping cockroaches away, and the first place to start is the kitchen. Wash your dishes and put food away promptly after meals. Clean up crumbs and spills right away, and generally keep the area clean. Pay special attention to range tops, as cockroaches love grease. Mop the floor routinely.
This should clean up crumbs and sticky spots. Do not slop water against the walls; remember, they need water.
Take out the trash regularly.
Have one trash can for food in your house. Don't let it sit for too long. Use a trash can with a lid, rather than one that stays open. Keep it in sealed containers that aren't sitting right next to your house.
