There are few things as disgusting as seeing a cockroach crawl across your kitchen counter. If you notice these creepy crawlers in your home, there are some things you can do to eliminate them.
1. De-Clutter
Roaches are drawn to dark areas they can call home. Get rid of old stacks of newspapers, boxes and paper bags to eliminate viable habitats.
2. Remove Food
Roaches want to stay in places where they have easy access to food. Do not leave food, even crumbs, on your kitchen counter. This means ensuring everything is wrapped up tightly.
3. Clean
When was the last time you gave your home a thorough cleaning? Wiping counters, stove tops and the floor with cleaners will make the area less appealing for bugs.
4. Rinse Cans
If you recycle, you likely throw soda or beer bottles into the recycling container. There might be some sugar residue left behind in these bottles that is quite appetizing to roaches. Rinse them out before tossing them in a bin.
5. Hire an Exterminator
At the end of the day, if you cannot eliminate roaches on your own, call in the professionals. Expert exterminators can spray around your house to get rid of pesky pests.
It is hazardous to your health to live in vicinity with roaches. Find an exterminator to assist you by contacting Pest Control Supply at 313-898-9104.
