What are Cockroaches?
Cockroaches are insects that originated in the tropics. They tend to be up to two inches long, have six legs, and two antennae. A few species of cockroaches have wings. Their main attribute in terms of survival is how they can multiply. In other words, if you see one cockroach, there may be dozens, hundreds, or more than you do not see.
And because you cannot see them, getting rid of cockroaches can be quite difficult. It takes more than simply locating the nest, you must eradicate all the hiding areas in your home.
How to Rid Your Home of Cockroaches?
Although insecticides work to a certain extent, the eggs of a cockroach are generally immune. Plus, the insecticides have to be applied quite close to where the cockroaches are located for them to work properly.
It is why ridding your home of cockroaches takes a multi-prong approach. It is a combination of prevention, traps, insecticides, and knowledge that can fully eradicate your home of cockroaches. For the most part, effective cockroach eradication follows a five-step formula.
Identification: A full inspection of your home or property to discover all the hiding places that the cockroaches may be. This means that no matter where they hide, their location can be discovered for eradication purposes.
Eradicate: The proper insecticides and other methods are employed to destroy the cockroaches on the premises. It’s more than just destroying the cockroaches that are present. The perimeters must be protected as well. By preventing the cockroaches from entering your home, the invasion can be stopped.
Seal: Openings where cockroaches can travel inside your home are sealed using a plug or caulk. This means that any gaps or cracks which use to let cockroaches in are now gone.
Watch: Regular checks after the eradiation process is complete will identify any new intrusion of cockroaches into your home. This means checking areas that are highly suitable to become nests. Plus, any new opening that might allow cockroaches to enter.
Follow-Up: Additional treatments can help stop a new invasion of cockroaches in the early stages. The result is that even if the cockroaches gain a foothold, they can be identified and stopped quickly using the right methods.
