COCKROACH PEST CONTROL

Effective cockroach control includes prevention and elimination methods.

Every possible entry point of cockroach should be sealed. Their entry in kitchen and bathroom, toilet areas must be well protected. The gaps under doors, around pipe lines and neighboring areas should be guarded.

Cockroaches are night animals. Their day time harboring areas must be found out and sealed. They live in cracks, crevices in the wall, behind pipelines and electric sockets and switches.

Cockroach food resources must be dried up. Every food material must be stored in sealed containers. All food left over must be cleaned and food debris must be thrown away. All used utensils and potteries should be cleaned same night. Nothing should be left overnight. Water must not be allowed to accumulate anywhere inside the house. Garbage and waste must be disposed off each night. Nothing should attract cockroach at night.

Insecticides as in house cockroach killers are available in the market in spray form. Frequent use of these somehow check cockroaches but they fail to eliminate cockroaches from house.

It is always best to take the assistance of professional pest control to eliminate cockroaches.
