Step 9: Use an Insecticide Spray (If Needed)
Choose a cockroach-specific insecticide spray and apply it to baseboards, under appliances, and other common hiding places.
Follow the product’s instructions carefully and ventilate the area well.
Step 10: Maintain Cleanliness
Daily Cleaning: Sweep and mop the floors daily to eliminate food crumbs and residues.
Empty Trash: Take out the trash regularly and ensure bins are sealed.
Dry Floors: Cockroaches are attracted to moisture, so keep floors dry and repair leaks.
Additional Preventive Measures
Install Door Sweeps: To block cockroaches from entering through door gaps.
Fix Leaks: Cockroaches are drawn to water sources. Repair leaky pipes or faucets.
Keep Food Sealed: Store food in airtight containers and keep pet food bowls clean.
