How Did I Get Cockroaches?

Hey there! If you’ve ever been curious about those little critters that appear to crawl into every crack in your home, you are not alone. The same question has plagued countless homeowners! You may find them hiding in your kitchen drawers, lurking in the garage or even in your food cupboards.

So what’s the deal with cockroach infestations, and how do you keep them out of your cozy places?

Believe it or not, lots of cockroaches come into our homes by themselves! They can ride into your home on your shoes, particularly if you step on one of those sly females that has made her way indoors, carrying her eggs. When that occurs, you may actually be inviting those little eggs straight into your home! Once they take up residence in a warm, dark place (such as under your stove), they can nest and breed.

Cockroaches are also known to slither in on boxes and bags bought from the shop — believe me, I learned this the hard way with flat-packed furniture!

The good news is that it’s relatively simple to prevent them from moving in. Just watch out for bags or boxes before you let them in the house. Or if they didn’t come in with you, they may have found a hairline crack to slip through.

Many people say, “But my house is clean!” and that’s true! Cockroaches don’t care about cleanliness, they are simply searching for food, warmth, and water. The problem is that your home can be a perfect dwelling for them, especially if it’s messy or if there’s food residue sitting around. So, although maintaining an organized space certainly makes an impact, this is just one part of the equation!

Did you know an adult cockroach can squeeze through a gap no wider than 25.4mm? That’s tiny! So it’s a good idea to close off any openings that could allow them in.

To add an extra layer of protection, it is recommended that schedule annual pest control services from professionals. They can act to keep those little invaders out.

Cockroaches are fast breeders and can spread diseases, so it’s crucial to address the problem immediately.”
