Maintaining a bug free environment – the cockroach
Cockroaches in the home environment are a health hazard not only because of the risks posed by cockroach antigens to asthma sufferers, but also because they can carry disease-causing germs as well.
Any home can have cockroaches. However, there are steps you can take to prevent them becoming a problem. General maintenance and cleaning are important because they remove the food, water, and shelter on which cockroaches depend.
You should also keep all food and garbage in tightly sealed containers. Do not leave dirty dishes in the sink, on the counter, or in the dishwasher overnight. Remove all piles of boxes, cardboard, newspapers, etc. from both inside and around the home. Follow these simple steps and you will help to keep your home cockroach free.
