Cockroach Problems?
– Keep all drains, sinks, showers and bathtubs moist (use water every second day)
– Put metal mesh in all floor drains
– Do not throw leftovers in drains or toilets
– Do not leave food for pets outdoors or open
– Put cockroach traps in your house (bathrooms, under kitchen cabinets or dark places)
– Use insect spray (insecticide) around doors, windows and vents
– at ground level close doors when dark (most common way in)
When leaving the house for longer periods:
– Pour a little cooking oil or Domestos in all drains, sinks, showers and bath tubs
– Cover the outlets from sinks, showers and drains
– Remove or carefully wrap all foods
– In necessary put out cockroach traps
NEVER kill a cockroach by stepping on it or hitting it
Use an insecticide (insect spray), then you also kill the eggs
