If you leap in fear or screech in disgust when you see one of them crawling around your house, then you are not the first person to wish that cockroaches were wiped out from this world. Not only are they creepy to look at, they hardly do any good to your house. In fact they feed on left over food and spread diseases all around. Unfortunately, cockroaches have survived everything that has happened in this world, and will not disappear just by wishful thinking. Therefore, you need to adopt a top roach prevention treatment so that they are nowhere near your home.
The first thing you need to remember about cockroaches is that they like the dark. Therefore, just when you thought you had searched every nook and corner of your kitchen or bathroom for them and had not found any, so you went to bed peacefully, as soon as the lights are out, they come out to feast on any food crumb that is lying around. This means that you need to keep your kitchen CLEAN. Make sure there are no unwashed utensils in the sink. The throwaways from the night's dinner should be discarded into the trash can outside the house. If you keep them in your bin inside the kitchen, then be sure to find one of those creeps to lurk around inside it in the morning.
The next thing you need to remember is that cockroaches can crawl out of or into almost about anything. A lot of times we have small cracks in the crevices of our walls, doors or cupboards. If this is the case, you should seal these places off immediately. Use caulk to do this yourself. One top roach prevention treatment to keep cockroach away from such corners that usually fall out of our eyesight is to spray toxins into them. Although you should not practice this on a daily basis as this is very toxic for humans and pets, you should probably spray once a week, preferably when the house is empty.
Keep the kitchen clean. By clean, we mean dry, free of food crumbs, unwashed dishes, open trash, grimy floors and other such things. Moisture is one of the greatest attractions to cockroaches. They like it wet and dirty. Keep all the leftover food in airtight containers so that you don't find a roach happily feeding on them. Keep opened cereal boxes, nuts and other such dry food in sealed containers.
Cockroaches usually find their way into the bathroom or the kitchen through drains. Make sure that the seal on the drain in both these locations don't have huge gaps in them. You can also use naphthalene balls on the drains to keep them from coming. A lot of times when you go to the bathroom at night, you see cockroaches crawling around in the basin. Naphthalene can be a good preventive measure in such cases.
Top roach prevention treatment includes using tight, sealed containers to store food, not keeping leftover food lying around in the open, keeping the kitchen clean and dry, sealing off the drains and pipes of the house, spraying toxins regularly in areas prone to be infested with these insects and keeping it clean all over.
