Dealing With Cockroaches

If you have found a cockroach in your home, chances are, it’s not the only one. Cockroaches are social creatures or in other words, they belong to a community. Sighting either single cockroach or hive of cockroaches can be quite distressing. They are carriers of infectious ailments such as salmonellosis, dysentery, gastroenteritis and typhoid. Besides the possible ailments mentioned, they also have droppings linked to triggering eczema and asthma.

Most homeowners are aware of the health and safety risks associated with cockroach infestations, including allergies and asthma triggered by cockroach allergens, and the germs and bacteria they have been known to spread.

Cockroaches are most active during the night, preferring to remain hidden in cracks and crevices during the day. They are attracted to food available on your property and will feed on almost anything from food grinds to animal droppings or faeces.

If you suspect a cockroach infestation, it’s very important to bring an immediate resolution to assure a fast solution to the problem and to minimize health dangers associated with this horrendous pest.

Signs You Have a Cockroach Problem

Here are some signs that demonstrate cockroach presence in your premises:

• Droppings – black grainy droppings can be found in the cabinets and across the walls or paths that they travelled on
• Smear marks – where water is abundant, brown and irregular shaped smear marks will appear on horizontal surfaces and wall floor junctions
• Moulted skin – evident of brown skins can be found close to where they’re breeding as immature cockroaches shed skins about five (5) to eight (8) times when they mature to adult
• Egg instances – appear as small dark brown oval-shaped casings
• Damage – search for signs of injury on food packages and organic products including leather and books
• Unpleasant odor – a distinct, musty odor when cockroaches are found in massive numbers
• Live cockroaches – usually found around bathrooms and kitchens

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

Your property could be an ideal breeding floor for specific species of cockroaches. They could enter the property through multiple entry points, like cracks, crevices, vents, sewers and pipe drains.

The most effective way to keep cockroaches away would be to deny them easy access to food, shelter and water, which are the main elements that bring them into your house or business.

As cockroaches are nocturnal insects which are into dim, warm, moist hiding spots in splits, cracks, or hard-to-reach corners, the initial step to destroying the infestation is taking out food sources and hiding spots, since cockroaches just return to habitable places.

With a little detective work, a persistent strategy, and preventative measures, you can make your house an unattractive location for roaches, which won’t only manage an infestation, but also prevent them in the future.

Reduce The Risk of a Cockroach Infestation

Here are practical steps you can take to reduce the risk of an infestation:

• Eliminate food resources — keep dry foods in tightly sealed boxes or in sealed plastic bags and don’t go away with food sitting out in the open area
• Clear all waste food and spillage – smooth up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and house equipment. Drain the rubbish daily and maintain all waste in protected bins
• Clean up – remove old heaps of newspapers and magazines, unused cardboard boxes and every single other form of clutter from the floor or base of pantries that may provide a hiding place to cockroaches
• Seal passing points – seal areas, for example, holes around entryway, cracks and pipes to decrease cockroaches hiding spots and access in your premises

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my pets at home affected by the treatment you employ?

Your pet’s safety is extremely important to us. You can rest assured that any active component they may come into contact with, whether it is still wet or through inhalation or ingesting it, is a tiny amount.

Does the spray pose human health issues?

The spray we employ is typically used in public places such as hospitals and schools and causes no ill effects on humans.

What should I do if I happen to touch one of the areas that have been treated with a spray?

It’s only of concern if the spray areas are still damp. If this occurs, clean with soap and lots of water as soon as you are able to. After a brief period of time, the water carrier tap water has been dissolved and will not cause any harm to you when you come in contact with the surface.
