Prevent Cockroaches from Invading Your Home

We can all agree that cockroaches are one of the most appalling sights, especially when they are in our home. Any bug indoors will scare someone, but cockroaches are far worse than other household pests. Many health risks come along with a roach infestation.

Cockroaches carry many pathogens that lead to illness and disease in humans. Here are some serious pathogens roaches are contaminated with:

• ·         Bacillus cereu
• ·         E. coli
• ·         Coliform
• ·         Salmonell
• ·         Klebsiella
• ·         Pseudomona

What are cockroaches attracted to in my house?

It is evident that cleanliness of a household is the key in preventing roaches from infesting a home. Roaches are attracted to food and water. Making these sources unobtainable to a roach will prevent you from having them in your house.

Anything edible found in your kitchen is food to a roach. Keep your counter tops cleaned off of any crumbs and tightly seal any food in bags or containers that are not refrigerated. If you recently exterminated an infestation of the cockroaches, be sure to clean with disinfectants! Sweep after meals to be certain no food is left behind. Monitor the stove tops for any buildup underneath or dirty stove-range pans.

Damp areas are ideal to a roach and there are plenty of areas in a home with moisture. If you are finding roaches indoors and are sure they are not present from food or filth, check for leaks under sinks or behind walls. It is common to have a roach infestation from water or moisture rather that other substrates they like.

Never allow roaches to go un-treated for indoors. They breed fast and can over run a kitchen in a short period of time. The diseases they cause in humans are real and dangerous; the health risks involved in cockroach infestations should be taken seriously.
