If you have found a cockroach in your home, chances are, it is not the only one. Cockroaches are social animals or in other words, they belong to a community. Sighting either single cockroach or hive of cockroaches can be quite distressing. They are carriers of infectious ailments such as salmonellosis, dysentery, gastroenteritis and typhoid. Besides the possible illnesses mentioned, they also have droppings linked to triggering eczema and asthma.

Apart from possible ailments brought by cockroaches, they are also able to produce 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 home or business premises. It’s better if we can avoid the infestation by implementing the simple treatment measures for us to get rid of these infectious pests.

If you suspect a cockroach infestation, it’s extremely important to take an immediate resolution to guarantee a fast solution to the issue and to minimize health dangers associated with this horrendous pest.

• Moulted skin – evident of brownish skins can be found close to where they are breeding as immature cockroaches shed skins about five (5) to eight (8) times when they grow to adult

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

Any property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. Especially if the property has lots of factors where cockroaches are attracted to. They are easy to spot on premises with cracks, crevices, and their infestation can disperse over vents, sewers and pipe drain

The most effective way to keep cockroaches away is to deny them easy access to food, shelter and water, which are the main elements that attract them into your house or business.

As cockroaches are nocturnal creatures that such as dark, warm, moist hiding places in cracks, crevices, or difficult-to-attain corners, the first step to eradicating an infestation is doing away with food sources and hiding places, particularly since cockroaches only return to habitable places.

With a little detective work, a persistent strategy, and preventative measures, you can make your house an unattractive location for roaches, which won’t only handle an infestation, but also keep them in the future.

Reduce The Risk of a Cockroach Infestation

Here are practical steps you can take to reduce the risk of an infestation:

• Eliminate food tools — keep dry foods in tightly sealed boxes or in sealed plastic bags and do not go away with food sitting out in the open area
• Clear all waste food and spillage – clean up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and appliances. Empty 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 which may provide a hiding area for cockroaches
• Seal entry points — seal areas including gaps around door, pipes and cracks to reduce cockroaches’ hiding area and access into your home
