Cockroaches Control & Removal in Melbourne & Bendigo, Victoria
Cockroaches are quite a common creature that is found in places all over the world. They are an important source of food for a variety of organisms, including birds and mammals, and are an integral part of the food chain. They will generally enter buildings because they are attracted to the food sources available. Signs of their presence include droppings, smear marks, and skin that has been shed. Keeping an eye out for these clues is going to guide you to their presence much easier than a sighting, as they tend to be nocturnal creatures, staying out of plain sight during the day.
To help prevent cockroaches from entering your home or business, there are some steps you can take:
- Keep food sources sealed in airtight packaging or containers, and don’t leave open food lying around.
- Dispose of food waste in a timely manner, not leaving any leftovers out in the open. It is good to give your floors a sweep or quick vacuum after consuming a meal.
- Empty your rubbish regularly.
- Keep the sink clear of unclean dishes.
- If you have pets, make sure that their food and water bowls are cleared before going to bed.
Some common species of cockroach include:
– German Cockroach
