Did you know a single female cockroach can produce up to 300 offspring in her lifetime? 🪳 It’s true! Cockroaches are one of the most prolific breeders, and this rapid reproduction makes infestations challenging to control once they’ve started. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with the tips and tools to keep your home cockroach-free.
How to Spot an Infestation Early
Cockroaches often hide in dark, moist areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Look out for:
- Droppings: Small, dark specks around baseboards, cabinets, and appliances.
- Egg casings: Brown, oval-shaped capsules near food storage areas.
- Musty odor: A strong, oily smell is often a sign of a cockroach population.
DIY Prevention Tips
- Seal Entry Points: Cockroaches can squeeze through tiny cracks and gaps. Seal around windows, doors, and pipes to keep them out.
- Eliminate Food Sources: Cockroaches are attracted to crumbs and grease. Regularly clean countertops, sweep floors, and keep food in sealed containers.
- Reduce Moisture: Fix leaky faucets and reduce humidity in areas like basements and bathrooms.
