There are several ways to get rid of roaches permanently, including:
-
Professional extermination: For best results, hire a professional roach management team to get rid of your infestation once and for all. Professional teams know how to locate and eradicate roach infestations safely and effectively, without putting your kids, pets, or household at risk.
-
Home remedies: Home remedies like diatomaceous earth, baking soda, boric acid, citrus, essential oils, and borax can be effective ways to get rid of roaches. Glue strips are also one of the safest and most effective solutions for killing roaches.
-
Cleanliness: Roaches need food to survive, so keeping your kitchen as clean as possible can cut off their food source. Wash dirty dishes right after using them, wipe the floors and countertops regularly to get rid of crumbs, and clean up spilled food in your kitchen cabinets. Keep your trash in a sealed bin so roaches can’t get into it. Additionally, put things away in their proper places rather than leaving clutter since roaches could find new places to hide.
-
Sealing cracks and holes: Roaches can enter your home through cracks and holes, so sealing them up can help prevent infestations. Check windows, pipes, and vents for any issues with seals or cracks. Be careful when you’re moving new objects indoors, as you could bring a roach along with you.
-
Chemical methods: If you continue to see roaches in your home, you might need to invest in chemical methods such as syringe-applied gel baits, insect growth regulators, or roach-killing sprays. However, always check the label and manufacturer’s instructions before use and follow the necessary precautions.
