Dealing With Cockroaches

Sighting of cockroaches in your house or business premises can be very distressing. They are associated with filth and are known carriers of infectious diseases including salmonellosis, dysentery, gastroenteritis and typhoid.

Apart from possible disorders brought by cockroaches, they are also able to create an obnoxious odor that taints food and objects that they come into contact with. Cockroaches are social creatures, meaning they can breed rapidly and would cause infestation on your house or business premises. It is better if we could avoid the infestation by implementing the simple treatment measures for us to eliminate these infectious pests.

Cockroaches are most active during the night, preferring to remain hidden in cracks and crevices during the day. They are drawn to food available on your premises and will feed on almost anything from food crumbs to animal droppings or faeces.

If you think a cockroach infestation is about to grow in your property, it is very critical to take immediate action to avoid or minimize health risks connected with this infectious pest. Prevention is better than cure. Thus, prevent cockroach infestation as early as possible.

Signs You Have a Cockroach Problem

If you think your premises are infested by roaches, start looking for these signs that are indicative of the presence:

• Droppings – black grainy droppings can be found in the cabinets and along the walls or routes that they travelled on
• Smear marks – where water is abundant, brown and irregular shaped smear marks will appear on horizontal surfaces and wall floor junctions
• Moulted skin – proof of brownish skins can be found near where they might be breeding as immature cockroaches drop skins roughly 5 (five) to eight (eight) times when they grow to mature
• Egg cases – look like small darkish brown oval-shaped casings
• Damage – look for signs of damage on food packaging and organic products including books and leather
• Unpleasant odor – a different musty smell when cockroaches present in large numbers
• Live cockroaches – usually found around lavatories and kitchens

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

Your property could be a good breeding floor for particular species of cockroaches. It can go into your home through a couple of access points, including cracks, crevices, vents, sewers and pipe drains.

The most effective way to control or eliminate the possible infestation in your property is to seal open areas where food and water are accessible. Therefore, proper sanitation of your leftovers should be properly addressed.

As cockroaches are nocturnal insects that are into dim, warm, damp hiding spots in splits, cracks, or hard-to-reach corners, the initial step to destroying the infestation is taking out food sources and hiding spots, since cockroaches only return to habitable places.

With little investigative work, a persistent method, and deterrent measures, you can make your house a resistant place for roaches, which will not just deal with an infestation, yet prevent them later on.

Reduce The Risk of a Cockroach Infestation

Here are viable steps you could take to reduce the threat of an infestation:

• Remove food sources – store dry foods In tightly sealed containers or in sealed plastic bags or leave food sitting out in open space
• Clear all waste food and spillage – clean up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and appliances. Drain the garbage on a daily basis and maintain all waste in covered bins
• Declutter – cast off old stacks of newspapers and magazines, unused cardboard packing containers and all various kinds of clutter from the floor or bottom of cabinets that may provide a hiding area for cockroaches
• Seal entry points – seal areas such as gaps around door, cracks and pipes to reduce cockroaches’ hiding place and access into your home
