Below you can find some of our suggestions, which should help you prevent cockroach infestations.
From experience, we have noticed that many of our clients with cockroach issues leave foods accessible in their cold room or storage room in their basement, and cockroaches find their way to it. You can start by understanding that foods like onions and potatoes need to be covered over and stored properly at all times. Air tight containers are your best option for protecting your food from pests or placing your foods in the refrigerator works as well. Another good option is to hang foods from your cold room so pests cannot get to it. If your food sits on the floor, even if it is protected in a bag, cockroaches can find their way to your food due to their large numbers and fast rate of reproduction.
If you have pets, like cats or dogs, pests like cockroaches are more likely to be attracted to the pet foods that are easily accessible. So you need to make sure that your pet food is changed frequently and that it doesn’t sit in your pets food bowl for too long so that cockroaches cannot get their claws on it.
Spills of any kind should be wiped up immediately and you should clean your floors everyday if possible, although that can be a bit unrealistic in today’s busy world, every effort to keep your home clean will decrease the chances of pests finding your home attractive for themselves. Vinegar is a great roach repellant although it’s only a temporary solution.
If you are coming back from a cottage or camping, take extra care to check your clothes and equipment for unwanted pests. Cockroaches can find their way into your cooler, clothes, tent, etc and you can bring them into your home like this. They are very effective at spreading quickly as all they need is water food and shelter. They are nocturnal so they will find their way into dark areas of your home where they can go about their business and reproduce fairly quickly.
