Pesky roaches can be a homeowner's worse nightmare. In this article, we look at simple ways to keep your homes free of cockroaches!
1) Drain Flushing ( Bleach )
One of the most common hiding or breeding spots for cockroaches is in the floor trap.
Here are the steps for Drain Flushing:
1.1) Bleach mix ( 500ml / per floor trap )
- Mix 250ml water and 250ml bleach
1.2) Pour gently into the floor trap.
-Let it soak for 2 minutes
1.3) Flush it
-Flush it gently with 1 litre of tap water.
1.4) Repeat every 7 days.
If there is a cockroach infestation, you should be able to see cockroaches surfacing in your toilet bowl awhile after performing the drain flush.
2) Door gap filler
One of the best ways to avoid cockroach infestation is preventing them from entering your house in the first place. Placing a door gap can restrict cockroaches from accessing your home.
3) Food Storage
Cockroaches are always constantly looking for a food source. Storing food in airtight containers will be the best approach.
4) Cleaning
Other than leftover food, cockroaches also feed on grease and oily stains left after cooking. Giving your kitchen area a thorough cleaning after any preparation of food is extremely important.
