1. Maintain household hygiene
Cockroaches prefer to survive in wet, dirty environments. Therefore, maintaining household hygiene is the first step in cockroach control. Regularly sweeping the floor, wiping down furniture, cleaning up kitchen grease, etc., are all effective ways to reduce cockroach habitat.
2. Find where cockroaches are hiding
Cockroaches mostly hide in dark and dark places during the day, such as cracks in walls, behind furniture, sewers, etc. In the evening, they come out to forage for food. We need to observe carefully to find out where the cockroaches are hiding and prepare for the subsequent cockroach eradication operations.
3. Use sticky insect boards
Placing sticky insect boards in cockroach-infested areas can effectively catch cockroaches. The sticky substance on the sticky board can make it impossible for cockroaches to extricate themselves and eventually become trapped on the sticky board. However, it should be noted that the sticky insect board should be replaced in time to avoid weakening the stickiness.
Fourth, the use of pesticides
Spraying insecticides on where cockroaches are hiding can quickly get rid of cockroaches. However, it is important to note that safe operating procedures should be followed when using pesticides to avoid harm to humans and pets.
5. Homemade cockroach bait
You can use boric acid, baking soda and other substances to make your own cockroach bait. Place the bait in a cockroach-infested place to attract cockroaches to eat, so as to achieve the purpose of cockroach extermination. This method is environmentally friendly and effective, but you need to be careful where you place your bait to avoid accidental ingestion.
6. Ask a professional pest control company for help
If the cockroach problem at home is more serious, or it is ineffective to deal with it yourself, you can ask a professional pest control company to help. They have a lot of experience and professional equipment to be able to solve the cockroach problem more thoroughly.
With the above six methods, we can easily solve the cockroach problem at home. However, it should be noted that cockroach control is a long-term process, and we need to be vigilant, check regularly and take corresponding control measures. Let's work together to create a beautiful home free of cockroaches!
