Cockroach Management

(8/21/25)

Managing cockroaches effectively involves a combination of sanitation practices and preventive measures:

• Maintain a Clean and Clutter-Free Space: Cockroaches thrive in hidden, cluttered areas. Regularly declutter living spaces, basements, and storage areas to minimize hiding spots. Keep items off the floor and organize storage to reduce potential cockroach harborage.

• Avoid Leaving Dirty Dishes in the Sink: Food residue attracts cockroaches. Wash dishes promptly after use and avoid leaving dirty dishes overnight. This reduces access to food sources for roaches.

• Wipe Countertops Frequently: Kitchen countertops and dining areas should be wiped down regularly to remove crumbs, spills, and food particles. Clean surfaces discourage cockroaches from foraging in living spaces.

• Seal Entry Points: Inspect and seal cracks, crevices, and gaps around doors, windows, and pipes to prevent cockroaches from entering the home.

• Proper Food Storage: Store food in airtight containers to limit cockroach access to edible materials.

• Dispose of Trash Regularly: Empty garbage bins often and use tightly sealed lids to reduce odors and food waste that attract pests.

Implementing these steps consistently helps in minimizing cockroach infestations and maintaining a healthier environment.
