Cockroaches – How do they get into your house?

Are you ashamed to have cockroaches? You don’t want anyone to know because they will think you are a dirty person. If this fits you, you’ve come to the right place. It’s not your fault that there are cockroaches in your house. They can come from a number of sources over which you have virtually no control.

grocery stores

Cockroaches love to eat food. The product is shipped from all over the world to grocery stores. It only takes one provider to infest many other providers. The most popular way that people bring roaches home is in a paper bag. Why? Cockroaches like paper. They can also be found in other paper products at the grocery store, such as cases of beer and soda.

Dirty clothes

Many apartment dwellers go to laundromats. Also, the apartments are known to have roach problems. When you go to the laundromat, a cockroach may come to your clothes. Maybe he/she is looking for a cleaner home to move on to. Be careful when going to the laundry.

used appliances

First of all, don’t buy a used appliance unless you really have to or know it’s from a clean house. Cockroaches love appliances. They make their home in microwaves, ovens, refrigerators, and even washers and dryers. Don’t try to save a few bucks. Never take a used appliance from an apartment complex. You’re just asking for roach trouble.

shipping materials

Cockroaches love wood and paper and these are very common shipping materials. If a warehouse is infested, you can be sure that some of the creatures will find their way to your workplace. That is why it is important to always put a little bait paste with boric acid. For one reason, if a few roaches show up, they won’t survive long enough to infest the facility.

neighbours

If you are in homes attached to your neighbors’ houses, if a person brings them in, they can easily spread undetected for some time. To keep them out of your home, keep food and water sources sealed off. Cockroaches will tend to make their nest where there is more water and food. If you want to get rid of all roaches, you’ll also need to treat your neighbors’ houses.

Outdoor

Warm, humid areas have a higher concentration of roaches that live outdoors. In some cases, they can enter from your garden. Some people use a boric acid bait mixed with fertilizer to kill roaches outdoors.

Solution

Fortunately, there is a cheap and inexpensive solution. It’s called boric acid roach bait. We call it MRF 2000. It’s effective against roaches for up to one year and is easy to apply.
