Cockroaches are the pest you least want to have in your house. Cockroaches can range in size and may hide anywhere in your home. They are there for food and water, so if you have food left out, crumbs anywhere, or grease or oil available for these pests, they are more likely to start appearing. If you have cockroaches in your home, they can multiply rather quickly, making it very difficult to get rid of them. Read on to learn a few tips to help you get rid of cockroaches in your home.

Wipe Down All Surfaces

Cockroaches can feed off of small splatters of oil or grease that you have in your home leftover on your stove, or smudged on your counters. If you have grease, oils, or other crumbs available for these pests to feed off of, you need to clean it up. Wipe down all of your hard surfaces in your home and use a bleach solution, or a grease-fighting dish detergent, to remove this buildup and prevent these pests from feeding any longer. For your floors, you should wipe them down or clean them with a mop and a solution of bleach and water.

Vacuum And Sweep Often

You need to keep your home as clean as possible, and sweeping and vacuuming will help achieve this. Sweep daily to remove a buildup of debris on your floors that cockroaches can use for food. Sweeping more often can help prevent other pests from coming in as well, and it will help to remove skin sheds from cockroaches, or any other deceased cockroaches you have in your home that other pests may use for food.

Set Bait

Use poisonous baits to kill these pests. You can use baits that they feed on and then it kills them, or use baits and traps that help contain these pests. Replace the poisonous baits often and the traps often as well. You can also use a poison such as diatomaceous earth to help kill these pests naturally. This is a natural pesticide that isn't harmful to humans or to pets. Once these pests walk through it, it will kill them by dehydrating them. This pesticide can also be used to kill other pests as well.
