It’s a common misconception that a roach problem is the sign of a dirty house. Cockroaches can infest the most immaculately kept home because that’s where they can find the food, water, and shelter that they constantly seek. Preventing them from having access to these things is the key to keeping cockroach problems under control.
Cockroaches get inside in several ways, needing only a tiny opening to get into a house. They can come in via holes, cracks, gaps, vents, sewer lines, and the spaces around utility cables and wires. Sealing up entry points, in addition to keeping your house clean, can go a long way toward keeping these pests away.
