1. Know yourself and know your opponent: understand cockroaches.
Cockroaches, this ancient insect has survived on the earth for hundreds of millions of years, and is known as "Xiaoqiang". They are tenacious, reproductive, and have a heterogeneous appetite, eating almost anything. Cockroaches carry a large number of germs and are therefore considered a major health hazard in the home environment.
2. Emergency treatment: rapid eviction.
Do not touch directly with your hands: Cockroaches may have bacteria or parasites on their bodies, so it is not hygienic to touch them directly.
Use items to drive away: You can use a tissue, a racket, or anything else that won't cause much damage to gently drive cockroaches outside.
Avoid excessive startling: While cockroaches are unpleasant, excessive startling or screaming may cause cockroaches to scurry more or even fly onto food or utensils.
3. Environmental governance: cut off their lives**.
Clean the kitchen: Clean the kitchen regularly and thoroughly, especially areas such as stovetops, sinks, trash cans, etc. Food scraps and garbage are the main food for cockroaches**, and keeping your kitchen clean is key to preventing cockroach breeding.
Sequester food: All foods, especially those that have been opened, should be stored in airtight containers. This is an effective way to prevent cockroaches from smelling the food and coming to feed.
Patch up the gaps: Inspect kitchen walls, floors, cabinets, etc. for cracks or holes, these are places where cockroaches may hide and breed. Repair these gaps in a timely manner with cement, silicone and other materials.
Control water sources: Fix leaking faucets and pipes to keep the kitchen dry. Cockroaches need water to survive, and controlling the water source can reduce their chances of survival.
Fourth, professional prevention and treatment: the use of pesticides.
Select the appropriate agent: There are many kinds of cockroach medicines on the market, including bait, spray, pasteboard, etc. You can choose the right product according to your own situation.
Correct use of the agent: Before using the drug, read the instructions carefully and follow the instructions correctly. Take care to avoid accidental ingestion or contact with pesticides by children and pets.
Prevention is the priority: Regularly placing bait or pasteboard in areas where cockroaches can easily breed, such as the kitchen, can continue to effectively control cockroaches.
