Cockroaches are attracted to food and water sources, so regularly clean up crumbs, spills, and food residue.
Cockroaches can squeeze through tiny openings. Seal any cracks or gaps in walls, floors, and around pipes with caulk.
Roaches need water to survive. Repair any leaky faucets or pipes to eliminate water sources.
Use airtight containers to store food, and don't leave food out overnight.
Cockroaches can find nourishment in your trash. Empty it regularly and use a trash can with a secure lid.
Roaches thrive in cluttered spaces. Declutter your home to eliminate hiding spots.
Place roach baits and traps in areas where you've seen cockroaches or suspect their presence.
Sprinkle food-grade DE in areas where roaches travel. DE is safe for humans but deadly to roaches.
Apply a thin layer of boric acid in cracks and crevices. Roaches will carry it back to their nests, effectively eliminating the colony.
Maintain a routine cleaning schedule to prevent roaches from establishing a presence in your home.
Remember, persistence is key when dealing with cockroach infestations. If your efforts are not effective, consider consulting a professional pest control service for further assistance.
