HOW TO ELIMINATE COCKROACHES
- THE USE OF FLASHLIGHTS: It is necessary to first have a look around for the possibility of cockroach infestation in your home, and this can be done by the use of torch lights as cockroaches lurk in the dark. Places could include the closet, behind the electrical appliances, beneath the refrigerator, cupboards, drawers or cabinets and more. Just think of certain dark places in the home and go look it out with a flashlight.
- USE OF GLUE STRIPS: The use of glue strips helps in a case of a large infestation by cockroaches which could be determined by your flashlight survey. Target the strategic places of the house where you saw with your flashlight a high infestation rate then apply strips in these areas.
- CAULK GAPS: Caulk gaps are used to reduce the cockroach infestation from spreading more as it requires using caulk to fill up entry ports for these pests as well as holes in between the walls or tiles or door frames etc.
- GEL BAIT: Gel bait comes in a tube-like form similar to a tooth paste and contains a gel that is to be applied beneath base boards, all kinds of cracks and possible crevices and in other areas that are likely to attract entry of cockroaches. This gel bait could result in quite a large number of dead roaches lying around the house as it is very effective.
- PEST MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL: In a case where you are a busy individual or are not entirely comfortable with pest control, hiring a professional to perform a cockroach pest control program would do just fine whether in Toronto or Mississauga or Vaughan.
