Hence, it is important to take precautions against cockroach infestation in the house. Preventive measures are always best as you will not be allowing the problem to get bigger.
Cockroaches are nocturnal in nature, they are most active at night, although you can still see them crawling around in day times. They will be found in places where food and water are available to them in abundance, hence the most common places in the house are kitchen and bathroom.
Dry any standing water around toilets, sinks, and tubs, as these can lead to an increase in roach population. They can live for only a week without water. Clean the kitchen shelves thoroughly. There should not be any crumbs lying near the stove, oven, or microwave, which can let roaches take shelter inside these appliances. It is better to vacuum places where the hands don’t reach. Use soap and water to clean the inside of cupboards and drawers, and dry them well before you start using them. It is always better to clean the dirty dishes immediately and put them away for drying.
These are just preventive measures. If there is a serious roach infestation inside the house, then cockroach pest control professionals need to be called to get the situation under control.
