So what to do?
Prevent the environment that helps them thrive. That’s the main answer.
Keep your cupboards, sinks, tables and floors clean and free of dirty plates, unused utensils and old newspapers.
Clean your dishes, food crumbs and oil spills right away once you cook.
Always store your food in airtight containers, and never leave your food out (even if it is pet food!).
Storing up food in nylon bags and sacks like garri and rice is NOT the best for you. These idiots can eat through the sack and ruin that food for you.
Don’t risk it at all.
Seal cracks and gaps in walls, floors and openings around or inside cabinets.
Also make sure that you seal gaps around pipes, plumbing, wall outlets, and spaces under the doors to your house and kitchen.
From time to time, run hot water in spare bathrooms and little used sinks.
Always check your bag and your children’s school bags when they return home, as well as your shopping items before storing them.
If despite all these measures, you still have a cockroach problem at home, contact a pest professional for assistance with elimination and prevention.
Smack with a broom.
Squash with slippers.
Boil in hot water.
Spray with an insecticide.
Kill with a gun.😂😂
Use whatever means you can.
But don’t ever ignore.
One cockroach can produce up to 1,000 new ones in a year to torment your life.
Kill cockroaches now
Before they kill you.
So ladies and gentlemen.
Do the world a favour:
Kill a cockroach today.
When you go to your friends house, as a show of goodwill, kill a cockroach.
When you go to your partner’s house, as a show of love, kill a cockroach.
Wherever you go and you find one -kill it.
Just do it.
