If cockroaches creep you out, there is a good chance you have been actively looking for a way to rid your home or office of them. In today’s modern age of the internet and social media, it’s likely you have gotten your fill of do it yourself tips and remedies. Some of these tips involve sealing your walls. Others will kill the roaches you see but not the ones just behind your cabinets or in that deep dark corner where you store the brooms. Some are actually helpful tips on how to make your home or business less appealing to these foraging insects. But the real question is: do they work?
 

Cockroach Prevention Cleaning

You have cleaned and deep cleaned again. You have put all your food into sealed hard plastic containers and made sure that there are no crumbs under the toaster, no grease on the top or the side of the oven, no fruit laying out on the counter, and no dirty dishes sitting next to the sink. These are great stops toward prevention but it won’t make the existing cockroaches you have disappear … or make them want to move to the neighbor’s house.
 

DIY Cockroach Control Follies – Home, Apartment, Office

Next you try not to breathe in the smelly bombs you set and try not to be sick when you dispose of the roach traps. You put concentrated powdered mixtures all over your kitchen floor and counters and after you’ve tracked down the possible roach access points and used a caulking gun to fill those cracks and crevices, you have a bunch of dead roaches but did you get them all? This situation is even worse if you live in one of our Manhattan apartment building. Cockroaches will just run to the next apartment, only to run back at a later date.
 

Highly Adaptable Disease Ridden Cockroaches

Here is the base truth about what you are trying to protect your home and business against! Cockroaches can climb up walls, walk across ceilings, slip through the thinnest of cracks and many species can even fly. This is an insect that doesn’t need to eat for weeks and can survive for an amazingly long time without its own head. The CDC connects this insect to the transmission of many human-spread diseases, asthma, breathing difficulties, allergic response, and stomach illnesses. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) studies show that 78 to 98 percent of urban homes have anywhere from 900 to 330,000 cockroaches living in them. So, if you think you only have the two cockroaches you see in your home, you are most likely very mistaken. There are probably hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands or more living in your walls right now!
