Roach Control Tips

Although they may seem to be indestructible, roaches can be controlled or eliminated. A few practical tips to help control roach infestation in your home.

• Keep your home clean and clutter free
• Wipe up food and liquid spills immediately
• Try not to keep unwashed dishes in the sink overnight
• Seal off cracks inside and outside the home to help keep roaches outside
• Fix leaky faucets. Roaches can survive for awhile on just water
• Using a combination of available roach control products usually works best overall
• Keep food consumption to the kitchen only, especially with children
• If you dont see a decline in the roach population over time utilizing these tips then you may need to contact a pest control professional

Gauge Cockroach Infestation

A good way to gauge how much of a cockroach infestation problem you might have is to use sticky pad style baits like Hoy Hoy, Black Flag Roach Motel or Victor Poison-Free Insect Magnet traps. If you see more than just a few roaches in your traps or if the number of roaches caught continues to grow over the course of a few days then you may have a serious roach infestation.

Hoy Hoy Trap-A-Roach Sticky Glue Pads

Sticky or glue pads are a classic roach and pest control solution. They are non toxic and can be placed almost anywhere. Although the home is usually the focus when it comes to roach control, the family car is not immune especially with young kids and their crumb trail eating habits. I actually have a small roach infestation in the family minivan and sticky pads have been working great. Most sticky pads come with bait, but I find goldfish crackers seem to work better. I placed a couple of these sticky traps in the front and a pair in the rear of my minivan and the next morning every trap had roaches. I definately do not see as many roaches as before, but I still keep a few sticky traps in the minivan as a preventive measure.
