Cockroaches have been on the planet for millions of years, and they are among the most resilient species of insects around. Their hardy nature allows them to survive starvation, thirst and other extreme conditions for days and weeks, and hence, these insects are capable of surviving in almost every condition. While having a professional exterminator treat for cockroaches can solve the problem, a cockroach problem can be avoided entirely if you follow some straight forward steps. Once these unhygienic insects enter your home or commercial establishment, they will stay on and multiply, feeding on just about anything they can find, from morsels in the kitchen and the food off unwashed vessels to even toothpastes and soaps. And once they start an infestation, their presence is not only extremely hazardous to your health, but also gives your property the reputation of being an unhygienic one.
Therefore, when it comes to cockroach infestation, prevention is certainly the best option.
The first move is to keep anything edible out of reach. The easy availability of food and water is what initially attracts cockroaches and if they find easy food, they will stay and multiply.
The second move is to ensure that your property is subject to rigorous cleaning at least once a month. The more frequent the cleaning, the less places cockroaches will find to hide, and even if a few have made their way onto your property, you would be able to detect them in time.
The third move is to ensure that the drains and sewers in and around your property are fumigated and sealed shut at regular intervals. Filth and dirt are excellent partners in crime to cockroaches, and keeping your property clean is one of the best ways to keep these horrid insects away.
However, if you have failed to take these steps, or if these pesky creatures have made their way onto your residential or commercial property in spite of the precautions you have taken, hiring the services of a professional pest control company is a wise move.
