Find The Roach Hotspots In Your Home
Roaches: they're nasty. They're incredibly difficult to catch, and even harder to kill. Oh yeah, and they fly! It might be hard to hear the truth, but it's simple: even clean homes attract cockroaches. Our pest control experts have compiled a list of where you can find cockroaches hiding out in your home; read below to find out more!
Hotspot 1: Kitchen Garbage
Roaches find a way into the food garbage; even in spite of the most secure trash can lid. When cockroaches are present in your home, rest assured, they aren't just hanging out. They're in search of a food source. Staying up to date on your neighborhood garbage collection schedule and routinely taking out the trash every evening or every other evening is a great way to prevent roaches from coming into your house. Of course, getting cockroach treatment and clean-outs from Never Pests Pest Control is a great way to eliminate the problem, too.
Hotspot 2: Nearby The Home
Cockroaches don't grow on trees, but a roach problem in your house can certainly start in them. You might love your landscaping, but if tree branches (particularly from oak trees) hang close to or touch your roof or awning, roaches use these limbs like bridges from their favorite outdoor habitat to their favorite indoor hunting grounds. The latter just so happens to be your home. Trimming branches and limbs away from your house is a great way to cut off their access to your house and fend off any roach intrusions or infestations.
Hotspot 3: Water
It seems the only places cockroaches like more than the kitchen garbage can are places that gather moisture. Around the refrigerator, behind the toilets, under the sinks, in the back of the drawer; pretty much all the nooks and crannies we would rather ignore and shy away from are the kind of places that roaches like best. California has plenty of water and humidity to go around, which explains why shoeing away cockroaches is something of a way of life around here. Coincidentally, it's a good thing professionals from Never Pests Pest Control are around to make a living out of eliminating these persistent pests.
Hotspot 4: Uncovered Food
Putting away uncovered food (pet food included) is a good way to steer clear of a roach problem. Remove any cooking grease from counters and floors and make sure to scrub away any sweets and sugary foods left on countertops. Take it from us, the sight of a clean kitchen is significantly better than the sight of cockroaches making a buffet line out of your breakfast nook or butcher block countertops.
