Cockroach Control
Cockroaches are among the oldest and most resilient creatures on Earth, with a history spanning over 300 million years. Over time, they have evolved into numerous species, adapting to a wide range of environments, and are now found across nearly every part of the globe. These highly adaptable insects possess an extraordinary ability to survive harsh conditions, including extreme temperatures, food shortages, and even certain chemicals.
Most cockroach species remain hidden during the day and become active at night in search of food and water. They reproduce rapidly, with females laying multiple egg cases, each containing numerous eggs. In addition to their quick reproduction, cockroaches can carry bacteria and pathogens, potentially contaminating surfaces and food, which may trigger allergies and lead to various illnesses. In Australia, cockroaches are a common pest and pose a significant risk of cross-contamination.

How to Prevent Cockroaches
Store Food in Airtight Containers
Many food items are stored in cardboard or thin plastic packaging, which cockroaches can easily chew through. If you suspect a roach infestation, transfer food into sturdy, sealed containers. Products in flimsy packaging, such as cereal, flour, and chocolate chips, are particularly at risk. For effective protection, consider using large, durable plastic bins to keep food safe while maintaining its original packaging.
Seal Entry Points
Cockroaches are most likely to invade buildings during the summer when they seek cooler hiding places or in the fall as they prepare for winter. They can enter through gaps and cracks around windows and doors. By preventing these pests from entering in the first place, you can effectively avoid an infestation.
