Tips for Controlling Cockroaches
We believe prevention methods and sanitation are the best management for cockroaches. Along with sealing cracks and crevices where pests can enter your home, making sure food preparation areas are clean will help prevent infestation. Likewise, clearing clutter such as newspapers or piles of clothes is also recommended since cockroaches are omnivorous scavengers who will eat just about anything. Because cockroaches reproduce quickly, do-it-yourself treatments are not recommended. Keeping up good communication with your pest control professional is vital so that further spread and incursion is avoided.
