Roaches: Controlling & Preventing Them

Cockroaches know how to find food. That means you have to be extra careful with crumbs and spills. Storing food in sealed containers helps, too. Here's where you have to be delicate: if the apartment upstairs or the row house next door is not up to your standards of cleanliness, you could have cockroaches anyway. Talk to your neighbors — tactfully — about working together to fight cockroaches.

Cockroaches Defined

Cockroaches are often considered one of the most disgusting of household insects. They consume food products in the pantry and contaminate the area with their saliva and excrement. Only five species of roaches are significant pests throughout the United States, the German cockroach being the most common.
