First of all, let us get out of the way that cockroaches are just one of the most disgusting and irritating pests there could be on the planet. They are unclean and hard to get rid of. While these little creatures may not seem like a threat or a danger because of their size, it is still important that they are eliminated if they are inside your home! If you want to get rid of these things in your home, there are several ways.
Eliminate Roaches Fast!
The first step to getting rid of cockroaches is before you get into your bed every night, you need to make sure that there are no food crumbs or spills left for the roaches to feast in. Remember, roaches prefer to dwell in places where they can find a good source of food. So if you’ll make it a habit to make it a point to have a dry and spotless house before going to bed, then you are on your way to a cleaner environment.
Second, you have to know that just because the roaches weren’t able to feed from any food spoilage in your house for one night, doesn’t mean they would already go fleeing from your place. Cockroaches are very flexible animals – too flexible that they can go for more than 3 weeks without any food or water intake. Now, before you lose hope of being able to get rid of them because of this particular reason, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.
The third step is where you set up your overnight trap. Take a bowl with steep sides, petroleum jelly, and a smelly bait. Simply create a paper ramp from the ground up to the top of the bowl and place the bait and petroleum jelly inside the bowl. If you don’t have petroleum jelly, you may fill the bowl with water so that the roaches will still be caught and drowned. Leave this trap on overnight and check it out in the morning to see if you’ve gotten any roaches on your bait.
Step four is, to set up a few more traps for the next consecutive nights. Take up all other necessary precautions you can think off such as sealing up entryways, fixing leaking pipes, closing up holes, and cleaning up your kitchen daily. If you keep on doing this, you’ll be able to see a great difference when it comes to the presence of roaches in your home. If you want to level up your game in getting rid of these pests in your home, then you may resort to buying pest control gels, sprays, and other cockroach repellant and killing products in the market. You may also refer to boric powder, flour, and cocoa powder as exterminators.
