6 Easy steps for preventing cockroaches
1. Seal windows and doors
When summer heat forces them to seek for cooler hiding places or in the fall to survive the winter cold, cockroaches are most actively trying to enter homes. They get into houses through gaps and fissures in foundations, windows, and doors. By keeping the cockroaches outside in the first place, you can prevent an infestation.
2. Keep property free of any food scraps
Cockroaches are attracted to food scraps even the smallest of them. Give all floors a thorough cleaning and a regular vacuum as this limits the food available for the Cockroaches.Be sure to clean in all the nooks and crannies and behind appliances
3. Keeping the Kitchen clean is very important.
One of the best ways to keep roaches at bay is cockroach prevention in the kitchen. Be diligent about wiping up spills, and instruct children to do the same. Keep paper towels and cleaning supplies on hand. Garbage should be taken out every day and stored in a closed container. Never leave dishes in a sink overnight; instead, clean them every day. Roaches typically get their nourishment from unwashed dishes and food scraps left in the sink overnight.
4. Store food and Pet food in sealed containers.
Many food items are kept in cardboard and thin plastic, both of which can be breached by cockroaches. Food and Pet food should be moved into solid, sealed containers if you suspect a roach infestation. All products in thin packaging, including cereal, flour, and chocolate chips, are vulnerable.
5. Dry Up Moist Areas
Roaches are attracted to leaking pipes and dripping faucets. Look for moisture in basements’ corners, under sinks, and behind toilets. Fix dripping faucets and pipes. Any Moist area is a source of water for cockroaches.
6. Declutter and organise
Cleanliness in the home is hampered by clutter. Even with the best of intentions, cleaning non-essential regions around and around non-essential goods, especially in the kitchen, may prove difficult. Create storage areas for small appliances and other items that clutter the countertops where food is prepared to simplify cleaning your environment and leaving fewer crannies for food crumbs

How to Prepare For Cockroach Exterminations Service and aftercare
- To have long-lasting benefits, clean the house before the pest control technician comes, and keep it as tidy as you can afterwards. When the house is tidy, the roaches will be drawn to the bait rather than other food sources more readily.
- Store any open food in sealed containers and ensure that stove and countertops are free of food.
- Mop and scrub all floors on the premises
- Vacuum all rooms and furniture ensuring no food sources remain.
- Always ensure that Garbage is stored in a closed sealable container and that the trash is put out.
- Remove items from the top of the refrigerator, stove, and any other large appliances that could not be stored. Just prior to service, move these appliances away from the wall and clean behind and beneath them. If the stove has a removable bottom drawer that opens to the floor, you can simply pull this out and clean it and the floor beneath. It will then not be necessary to move the entire stove.
- Ensure that pest control service has access to everywhere on-premises.
- Spingclean and discard any paper products and any other sources that might harbour rouches when the property is treated.
- Any water leaks should be fixed ensuring that there are no damp areas on the inside of the property.
- Keep all areas of the property clean preventing reinfestation
