COCKROACH ALERT!!! Cockroaches are a nuisance to many people and homes. Apart from the bad odor they leave in our homes, they also carry germs which they distribute during their foraging escapades. Cockroach treatment will come with a cost but this cost can be reduced if a simple measure is taken by households. Sanitation Sanitation is very important to reduce cockroach infestations. Cockroaches need water and food to live. By limiting their access to these resources, you reduce their ability to survive and reproduce. It is difficult to make your home and other buildings completely unacceptable for cockroaches, but you can minimize an existing infestation when improving sanitation. *.Do not leave food out over night; keep all food stored in a refrigerator or in insect-proof containers made of plastic, metal, or glass with tight-fitting covers. *.Do not leave pet food and water out overnight. *.Wash your dishes, pans, and utensils as soon as you are done using them. *.Remove all food or spilled drinks from counter tops and clean counters, sinks, and tables with soapy water. *.Vacuum all cracks and crevices to remove debris and food. Also sweep or vacuum any food and debris on floors. *.Take garbage out daily in closed plastic containers or bags; keep waste containers washed and clean. *.Repair any leaky water pipes or faucets. *.Increase ventilation where condensation is a problem. This will significantly reduce roach treatment costs.
