Cockroaches will eat any sort of food and emerge from their inaccessible harborages to forage, contaminating food, utensils, and food preparation surfaces as they go. They taint food with an obnoxious smell and may be carriers of various diseases.
- Cockroach can transfer E. coli and salmonella from one food source to the next.
- Produce up to 300 eggs in their lifetime (in your home).
* Eliminating food sources in the residential sectors is a constant battle in roach control. While this effort involves a great deal of work and vigilance, the results are well worth the effort:
- Clean kitchen tools. Roaches in your kitchen are probably living behind and alongside your appliances.
- Empty Cabinets and Clean them out.
- Allowing food to be consumed in all areas of the home leads to crumbs and food spills that often go unnoticed and make tasty temptations for Roaches (Limit food consumption to one room of the house).
- Vacuum the kitchen floor thoroughly each night before sleeping.
- Wipe down kitchen countertops with a disinfectant spray each night.
- Empty pet food containers at night or place them on the back porch or in a plastic bag.
- Store Food in Sealed Containers. roaches are small enough to slip into the cardboard packaging that many foods are stored in.
- Use a trash can with a tight-fitting lid and take out the trash each night before bed.
- Keep outside trash cans clean and put them away from the structure
