Cockroaches Control at Home

Interdiction

• Salmonella, gastro and diarrhea spread all over
  your cutlery and crockery
• Asthma attacks for your kids
• Cockroach poo all over the house...
• There are some very good reasons that cockroaches
  are among the most loathed insects in the
  world! Cockroach control can be difficult with
  home products and strategies. However,
  Amalgamated Pest Control's current research,
  products and cockroach control methods mean that
  we can create a clear path to a cockroach-free
  home for you.

• Why Bother with Cockroach Control?
• Disease Cockroaches can carry disease-causing
  bacteria, spreading salmonella, dysentery,
  gastroenteritis and diarrhoea among others. The
  organisms causing these diseases are carried on
  the legs and bodies of cockroaches, and are
  deposited on food and utensils as cockroaches
  feed and move about. Cockroach control helps keep
  the youngest, oldest and most vulnerable members
  of your family safe. 
• Asthma and allergies Cockroaches can also be
  responsible for asthmatic reactions.  Children,
  the elderly and people prone to bronchial
  ailments can react to the discarded fragments of
  "skin" when cockroaches moult.Learn more about

• Adaptability Every property is at risk from a
  cockroach infestation. Almost any organic matter
  is food for cockroaches, and they are great
  hitch-hikers and fliers, spreading rapidly.
• Breeding success They are rapid breeders just a
  couple of cockroaches can turn into huge numbers
  in just a few weeks.  Continued sightings of
  adult and juvenile cockroaches is a fairly good
  sign that they are breeding nearby.

• This is the first step in a cockroach
  control program. Look for live or dead
  cockroaches, their droppings or egg cases in
  environments which attract them, such as
• The kitchen area (in the cupboards, under sinks
  and around appliances like the refrigerator,
  dishwasher, stove and microwave oven 
• Wet areas like the bathroom and laundry (in
  cabinets and drawers) 
• Sub floor areas (if your property has a sub
  floor)
• If you find any evidence of cockroaches, then you
  can start with some basic cockroach
  control tasks. 
• There are 4 basic principles of cockroach
  control
• Remove food  You need to be able to reduce the
  food source for the cockroaches.  This means
  removing stray food particles lying around by
  good cleaning practices.  Do not leave food
  scarps exposed. Make sure that you pay particular
  attention to cleaning cracks, cervices, bench
  tops and appliances. It's also a good idea to
  seal up any rubbish bins and making sure they are
  well covered.  Keep all your food in sealed
  containers.
• Remove water Cockroaches need water to survive. 
  They love warm, damp places making sure there
  are none in your house is the second major
  cockroach control step.  Look out for leaking
  taps or places indoors where water seems to
  collect.  Check that there is no leaking plumbing
  in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry areas.  If
  you property has a sub floor area, make sure that
  water drains away properly and it is well
  ventilated.
• Remove shelter Cockroaches prefer small confined
  spaces like cracks and crevices.  Taking away
  their preferred habitat and breeding grounds is
  an important aspect of cockroach control. Seal
  all cracks and crevices in the bathroom, pantry
  and kitchen cupboards, including cracked tiles
  and splashbacks.  Avoid storing unnecessary
  items, like cardboard boxes, plastic bags from
  the supermarket and old toys or clothes. 
• Trapping Collecting cockroaches on special
  sticky traps is another easy home step to help
  with cockroach control.  These traps can be
  purchased, and often contain a food or pheromone
  attractant to entice the cockroaches onto the
  sticky board.  Its best to place these traps
  where you see cockroaches running regularly.
