Cockroaches are an unpleasant and unsightly pest and can potentially carry a range of serious illnesses. Their droppings have also been linked with increases in eczema and asthma.
Cockroaches can wreak havoc on your home or office and can enter in many different ways, through cracks and crevices, air vents, drain pipes. They tend to feed on a diet of rotting garbage and/or food scraps. So, for long-term prevention it’s important to try to clean up any food and drink spills as soon as they happen, and keep your house and office tidy. This includes removing rubbish regularly, and storing your food in sealed containers.
Roaches prefer warm, moist and sheltered areas close to food and water, making buildings an ideal breeding ground. Unfortunately, cockroaches are also incredibly resilient and they can survive in extremes of heat and cold. With the ability to reproduce quickly so you shouldn’t disregard the odd cockroach you see around your house. For every one you see there can be many more living in the walls of your home or office.
Without the right tools and knowledge it can be difficult to control a cockroach infestation. DIY products can be effective in solving smaller cockroach problems, but it can be difficult to reach all of the hiding places with these products. Without a professional treatment, infestations are likely to reoccur especially when surviving cockroach eggs begin to hatch.
