How To Get Rid Of Roaches In Columbia, SC

|

Do you have cockroaches scurrying in your kitchen in Columbia, SC? Well, roaches are often associated with dirty environments, but they require three necessities to survive: warm shelter, food, and water. They are not picky when it comes to consumption and can eat almost anything.

Proven Tactics To Get Rid Of Roaches

The following is a guide to how you can prevent roaches from settling and invading your property in Columbia, SC:

  1. Maintain Cleanliness At All Times: Food leftovers attract roaches. In this case, you should thoroughly wipe the dining tables, kitchen counters, stove tops as well as wash the dishes and mop the floor after use.
  2. Cut Off Their Water Supply: Cut off water supply even if it drops. Taking care of water leakages will shorten the lifespan of cockroaches since they will not have water to drink. The following remedies can also help keep roaches out of your home:
  3. A Mixture Of Boric Acid & Sugar: Place a solution of boric acid and sugar in infested areas such as under your refrigerator, under the stove, and in cracks. You are advised not to try this method if you have pets or little children since they can consume the solution.
  4. Fabric Softener: Roaches breathe through the skin. When you spray them with a fabric softener, they will suffocate and die. This method is effective even for massive infestation.
  5. Bay Leaves: Roaches hate the smell of bay leaves. Crush dry leaves in a bowl and turn them into a powder. Sprinkle the powder around infestation areas and roaches will be repelled. If the infestation is extreme, take action immediately by getting in touch with our customer care representative to discuss which roach extermination cost package you should choose.
