Cockroach prevention:

Habits:

Cockroaches are found in in food processing areas and food storage areas, as well as other types of buildings. They can even survive very lower temperatures with the right conditions.

Habitat:

Cockroaches are often found in sewers and basements, particularly around pipes and drains.

Threats:

Cockroaches have been reported to spread at least 33 kinds of bacteria, six kinds of parasitic worms, and at least 7 other kinds of human pathogens. They can pick up germs on the spines of their legs and bodies as they crawl through decaying matter or sewage and then carry these into food or onto food surfaces. Germs that cockroaches eat from decaying matter or sewage are protected while in their bodies and may remain infective for several weeks longer than if they had been exposed to cleaning agents, rinse water, or just sunlight and air. Recent medical studies have shown that cockroach allergens cause lots of allergic reactions in inner city children. They were even shown to cause asthma in children. These allergens build up in deposits of droppings, secretions, cast skins, and dead bodies of roaches.

Prevention:

Good sanitation and habitat reduction, along with vacuuming, surveillance, a baiting program, and some sealing of cracks can usually quickly reduce or eliminate a cockroach population.

Three rats are sitting at the bar talking and bragging about their bravery and toughness.
The first says, "I'm so tough, once I ate a whole bagful of rat poison!"
The second says, "Well I'm so tough, once I was caught in a rat trap and I bit it apart!"
Then the third rat gets up and says, "Later guys, I'm off home to harass the cat."

Keep food away, otherwise your inviting pest onto your property!
