The key to long-term cockroach management is reduction of sources of food; water and the shelter cockroaches need to survive. If they have a good supply of food and water, there's no reason for them to go anywhere but your home. They'll keep on breeding there as long as the conditions are favorable to them.
Generally, a single cockroach leads to a lot more. Once cockroaches enter your home, you're dealing with more than just an unpleasant pest. Cockroaches can cause significant allergies. Infestations have been strongly connected with the development of asthma in children. Since children crawl on the floor just like the roaches, they are more likely to encounter cockroach bodies, eggs, larvae and feces. consequently they are more vulnerable to the allergic affects of these potential allergens. These cockroach body parts can be embedded in carpets, around baseboards and even in household dust. Clearing clutter also makes your home cleaner and less likely to be invaded by pests in general. Pest control experts refer to pest living areas as harborages.
Recommended strategies for controlling cockroaches include clearing clutter and removing debris. Cardboard boxes, clothing piles, stacked newspapers and similar materials are excellent harborages. Clutter clearing strategies that help reduce the number of harborages available include the following:
1. When storing items such as seasonal clothing, it is important to use plastic storage containers or air tight storage containers such as vacuum sealed bags rather than cardboard or any organic container. Be sure that lids fit tightly and that containers have no cracks or holes.
2. Avoid storing newspapers in the home for any length of time. They should be taken immediately to a recycling container outdoors.
3. Avoid leaving pet food dishes out with food and water. Instead, feed and water your pets at regular intervals, washing each dish after it has been used.
4. Never store unused plastic bags beneath the kitchen sink, as they're great places for a cockroach to hide during the day.
5. Get rid of corrugated cardboard that's not in use right away. Its crevices make excellent places for cockroaches to hide. They can also survive by eating the box itself. From the perspective of the cockroach, cardboard makes a perfect breeding place.
