How to

Prevent Cockroach Infestations

Roaches come to infest a building or area for available food and water sources and ideal conditions for their shelter. This is why the following preventive measures are encouraged:

Keep the area free of food crumbs, spills, and other debris that attract roaches
Store food in airtight containers or the refrigerator
Never leave any food out overnight
Clean pet bowls after each meal
Dispose of garbage in trash cans with tight-fitting lids and empty them
Seal cracks and crevices in walls, floors, and foundation with the suitable material
Repair any leaky faucets, pipes, or appliances to eliminate sources of standing water
Install screens on windows and doors to prevent their entry
Trim bushes and trees near a building to reduce harborage areas and limit access points
