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.

Most homeowners are aware of the health and safety risks associated with cockroach infestations, including allergies and asthma triggered by cockroach allergens, and the germs and bacteria they have been known to spread.

Cockroaches are most active during the night, preferring to stay hidden in holes and divides in the day. They are attracted to food that is accessible in your property and will benefit from almost anything from food crumbs to animal droppings or defecation.

If you suspect a cockroach infestation, it’s extremely essential to take immediate action to ensure a fast solution to the issue and to minimise health risks associated with this terrible pest.

Signs You Have a Cockroach Problem

Here are a few tell-tale signs that suggest cockroach presence to your premises:

• 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 plentiful, brown and irregular smear marks will appear on flat surfaces and wall ground junctions
• Moulted skin – clear of brownish skins are available close to where they are breeding as immature cockroaches shed skins about five (5) to eight (8) times when they grow to adult
• Egg cases – appear as small dark brown oval-shaped casings
• Damage – search for signs of harm on food packages and organic products including books and leather
• Unpleasant odor – a distinct musty odor when cockroaches present in massive numbers
• Live cockroaches – usually found around bathrooms and kitchens

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for certain species of cockroaches. They can enter the property through multiple entry points, such as cracks, crevices, vents, sewers and pipe drains.

The most effective way to keep these nuisance pests is to deny them access to food, shelter and water. Without these, they cannot thrive and breed in your house and no infestation will occur.

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

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

Reduce The Risk of a Cockroach Infestation

Here are effective steps you can go for to reduce the risk of an infestation:

• Eliminate food resources — 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. Drain the garbage on a daily basis and maintain all waste in covered bins
• Declutter — throw off old stacks of newspapers and magazines, unused cardboard packaging containers and all different kinds of clutter from the ground or bottom of cabinets that may offer a hiding place for cockroaches
• Seal entry points — seal areas including gaps around door, pipes and cracks to decrease cockroaches’ hiding area and access into your home
