How do you get rid of cockroaches?
If you notice cockroaches lurking, we can deter them to ensure that your home or office remains clean and protected! It's not an easy task, and it might take some time to make that all happen, but with the right coordination between tenants and landlords, we can make it possible!
One of the easiest ways to get the landlord or tenants on your side is to use a cockroach trap and collect a little evidence. And this way, we are all in a better position to know what’s going on.
Where to Spot Cockroaches
Cockroaches like to loaf around areas with access to food and water. So, if you see one, likely there are snacks around! You may find them in locations such as:
Kitchens and galley areas
Behind and along skirting boards
Sinks and cupboards
Under chairs and tables
Utility cabinets
Beneath fridges and other appliances
And even in ducts or water pipes!
In commercial spaces like restaurants and warehouses, they can also be found in storage and waste areas.
