Habitat
Inside your home, German cockroaches can be found clustered behind baseboard molding, in cracks around cabinets, in closets and pantries, and in and under refrigerators, stoves, and dish washers. The infestation is large, if you see the roaches during the day. They often stay within 12 feet of food and water in kitchens and bathrooms. Let Pest Products Online provide you an effective solution on how to kill German roaches in your home.
Health Risks
They can contaminate food with bacterial diseases that result in food poisoning and can cause dysentery or diarrhea. Some people are allergic to roaches and some research shows that cockroaches can cause childhood asthma.
Property Damage
German cockroaches can foul food, damage wallpaper, books, clothing, and can produce an unpleasant odor.
Prevention
Seal cracks in foundations, around doors and windows, and along water, gas, and electric lines entering your home. Clean up spilled food and liquid and avoid leaving scraps of food or unwashed dishes in the sink or on counter tops. Sweep and vacuum floors often and avoid leaving pet food out. Keep food in tightly sealed containers.
