Be Aware! Dengue Fever is on the rise in South FL - protect your home against Mosquitos by Scheduling your next spray
When it comes to roach infestations, prevention is always better than cure. Homemakers who know how to properly sanitize their homes are the ones who can effectively keep these pests at bay. Missing any of these small sanitation steps can lead to a cockroach infestation that will almost be impossible to eliminate.
Cockroaches can live off of grease, food crumbs, and food spills. In order to prevent an infestation, you’ll need to make sure that your kitchen cabinets, appliances, and the areas under your sink don’t have any of these tasty temptations. While you’re at it, be sure to keep these areas wiped down and disinfected every day.
It’s best to limit the consumption of food to one area in your house such as the kitchen. This will prevent the spread of infestation should a cockroach find its way inside your house.
Vacuuming your floors before you go to bed can significantly reduce any chances of infestation because roaches tend to feed at night. It also helps to vacuum other areas around the house every three days in order to maintain the overall sanitation of your property. In case you’re not aware, roach feces, egg sacs, and mutilated body parts contain pheromones that other cockroaches find extremely attractive.
Since a cockroach is small enough to slip into a cardboard packaging, it’s best to store your food in sealed containers.
Use trash bins that come with a secure lid and be sure to take out your trash every night. Your outside trash cans should be constantly kept clean and moved away from your home.
