How To Spot & Get Rid Of Cockroaches
Finding cockroaches in your home can indeed be bothersome, but you are not the only one. Whether you believe it or not, cockroaches are one of the most common unwelcome guests in homes around the world and ours here in Perth is no different. New studies reveal they are amongst the top 10 indoor cockroaches found in Australian homes. This persistence is mainly because our homes are everything they need: food and water, ideal for reproduction.
The size and specific type of cockroach vary, but the three most common offenders are the Oriental, American and most commonly the German cockroach.
Identifying a Cockroach Infestation
If you are thinking about a cockroach invasion, you should find out where they are hiding. Pest controllers, with the help of homeowners such as yourself, usually inspect places like behind and under the fridge, inside cupboards, close to the drainpipes and sometimes even in small gaps in the skirting boards.
Keeping your house ultra tidy, you could do a lot to discourage these bugs into making your house their home. Remove any remnants of food and stains from food dishes, drains, rubbish bins and table tops. Make sure you also secure the food.
The cockroaches also like to stay under the furniture and inside the electrical appliances, and they will sneak inside from outside the home through open windows and the open doors or through the cracks of the wall.
Steps to Eliminate Cockroaches
Confidence in eradication before contacting local Perth pest control experts.
Sanitation: This is the first step in your defense. It is important to maintain cleanliness and a vacuum cleaner can assist you with this. Cockroaches adore the food crumbs and dirt, even if virtually invisible. The nozzle of your vacuum allows you to get to those tiny hiding spots that cockroaches love to crawl into, hidden from view in the daytime. Bear in mind that a nest of cockroaches can live off the smallest of crumbs for up to one month!
Call in the Professionals
OTC sprays are no match for the professional treatments. To guarantee your home is a no-go zone for cockroaches, the wisest practice is to contact an expert. Whenever the expert comes to your place they will not only recommend you with the solutions to treat the problem but will also consult you on what steps should be taken further, to eliminate cockroaches from the house for once and all.
Cockroach treatment, however, can be scary as most pest problems are, but when you know how to go about it and get experts on board, you will be able to shift them out for good. If the situation necessitates it, do not shy away from reaching out for professional help. You've got this.
