Cockroaches Taking Up Residence in Your Tempe Home?
Short of taking a power washer to the inside of your home to literally "blast" creepy cockroaches out of their hiding places, there are a few things you can do to prevent them from coming back once you have the situation under control.
Here are a few ideas:
Even though you keep your house spotless, the idea of cockroaches is enough to make most people shudder. Go out to a restaurant and see one of these pests, and what are you going to do? Most likely, you'll leave and take your business elsewhere. However, you can't leave your own home - but with a reputable pest control company in Tempe, you can take control of the situation before the pesky little critters take control of you and enjoy peace of mind.
When choosing a Tempe pest control company, experience and reliability are important. Experienced service providers are up-to-date on the most effective applications, so you can rest assured that after your home has been treated, you won't be entertaining guests a week or two later only to have a cockroach or two come out and join the party! As the Arizona heat amps up heading toward summer months, bugs want a cool place just like the rest of us - so they head indoors.
Call a trusted pest control company to "exterminate" the nasty little buggers.
Here are a few ideas:
- Never leave food setting out, or even dirty dishes in the sink, overnight.
- Take the garbage out frequently (better yet, have hubby do it). Even outside, make sure garbage containers are covered. You don't want to get rid of the cockroaches inside your home, only to have those that inhabit the outdoors come in and make themselves at home.
- Be sure there are no fruits or vegetables in your cupboards that are rotting.
- Moist areas attract cockroaches; check around toilets and under sinks for condensation, and insulate pipes if necessary.
- Most important of all? Keep your home clean! Don't forget to clean inside cupboards, under vanities and in other areas that are dark. Food isn't the only thing cockroaches eat; they also enjoy hair, glue, leather and other materials.
