When the warmer months arrive, the animal kingdom begins to reproduce, and pests are no different. Cockroach eradication on the Sunshine Coast is something that needs to be looked at if you value your home and contents, not to mention your family. Cockroaches are vehicles for transmitting bacteria and irritating allergies. In fact, a recent study indicated that cockroaches are the second highest cause of allergies in people after dust. Cockroaches are generally introduced to your home within objects like bags, boxes and laundry; however, they also often find their way in through an open door, or unscreened window.
Since cockroaches prefer a warm, moist environment where food is readily available, sanitation is an important factor to consider for cockroach eradication. Be sure to remove rubbish and recycling daily, seal food containers and clean any food remnants away after preparation or eating. Common nesting places are in cracks and crevices closely located to food. Key areas include your fridge, dishwasher, under the sink and washing machine.
Once a nest has been established, it is very difficult to look after your own cockroach eradication. As one of Australia’s most common pests, they have a very high strike record and preventing them returning can be harder than you think. The most effective way to keep them from returning is to use a combination of treatments. There are many options available and Safeguard’s fully trained professional staff can come to your home, conduct an inspection and help you decided what will be the best combination for your home.
The longer you ignore the invasion of household pests, such as cockroaches, rats and termites in your home, the more you risk not only your property’s value but the health of your family as well.
