Like any other pests, cockroaches are one of the most resilient and filthy insects. They hide in various areas, breed quickly, have high reproductive potential, and may even develop resistance to pesticides.
Moreover, cockroaches are the most unhygienic pests as they can taint your food with E. coli and Salmonella bacteria. Hence, it is not safe to ignore their presence. Prolonged exposure to cockroach droppings and dead body parts can even trigger allergies and asthma among some people.
To control these pests, you need to engage a professional pest control company in Singapore like PestBusters. They will help to remove cockroaches from your home so that you and your family can have peace of mind.
After they spray your house with pesticides, there are several things you need to do to prevent cockroaches from appearing again.
Clean your house regularly
If you continue to practice bad habits like leaving the dishes in the sink for days or not throwing away your trash regularly, you will only be wasting the efforts of pest control professionals. This is because cockroaches are attracted to a filthy environment.
To prevent cockroaches from invading your house, make sure to clean your kitchen and other parts of your home regularly. You should also empty your trash daily to prevent them from accumulating in your home.
Remove possible sources of food
To ensure the efficacy of pest control strategy, you should eliminate possible sources of food for cockroaches.
This includes not eating in other parts of your house other than the kitchen. You should also try to pick up food crumbs, and store your food in airtight containers.
Be patient
If you find cockroaches appearing in your house suddenly, inform your pest control company so that they can examine and initiate another treatment or use other control methods to eliminate the cockroaches effectively.
How often should your house be sprayed?
Most pest control services will recommend that you engage them regularly to ensure that your house is pest-free. This will allow them to inspect for changes or signs of pest activity and implement preventative measures to reduce pest populations. Besides, it will help to keep your pest management costs down.
However, this depends on the severity of the pest infestation, type of pest, location, building size, and weather conditions.
How long would the effects last?
After your house is sprayed, the pest control treatment will generally last a few weeks. If you see any cockroaches coming out of their hiding places, you should inform your pest control company so that they can deal with it professionally.
