Tips to Prevent Cockroaches
Serving Vancouver WA | Portland OR | Beaverton OR
Cockroaches are a nuisance. They manage to find their way into homes and businesses and can be extremely difficult to eliminate. Their appearance can be embarrassing, unsightly and downright maddening. Plus, they are famous for carrying diseases, which makes them even less appealing as visitors.
There is no question that the best way to live roach-free is to prevent the little invaders from gaining access to the premises in the first place. Learning how to keep cockroaches out will help to avoid the problem of getting rid of them.
Keep It Clean
While even the cleanest homes can get cockroaches, it is true that roaches love filth. They especially like to gather in areas that have cardboard and paper items on the floor. Therefore, keeping materials such as this picked up and put away will go far in discouraging cockroaches.
Keeping floors swept, vacuumed and mopped will also help. Cockroaches are always on the lookout for food and water, so keeping food crumbs swept up and spills mopped will also help.

Keep Food Stored Away
Another answer to the question of how to keep cockroaches out is to not leave food out for long periods of time. Cockroaches can enter through the tiniest cracks in walls and cabinetry, so not having food around to entice them will help them to look for a home elsewhere.
Bring In the Experts
When, despite the most diligent of efforts, cockroaches manage to invade, the best course of action is to call a professional exterminator. While self-help measures may help to lessen the appearance of cockroaches, the results are usually temporary and can make the roaches more resilient than ever.
Professional exterminators are trained to assess the extent of the infestation and then eliminate the cockroaches entirely, as well as their eggs.
Cockroaches are definitely a nuisance, but thankfully they can be eliminated either through preventative measures or extermination.
