As pests, cockroaches probably cause the most chaos in humans. They can trigger a flurry in seconds and destroy your quiet evening. In Australia, during the summer season, an influx of the cockroach population is not uncommon. Lately, due to unpredictable weather conditions, the swarming of cockroaches into Australian households has been on the rise, especially in Sydney. This surge of cockroaches demands urgent cockroach pest control in Sydney.
On any given day, cockroaches will choose your home over outdoors
Cockroaches will infest any home that has three things:
- Warmth
- Moisture
- Food.
During summer, warmth and moisture is plenty to come by in Australia. Additionally, leftovers in your table and rubbish bins are perfect lures for cockroaches inside your home. Once inside, cockroaches look for a safe spot to nest. Open windows, screen doors, gaps and cracks and heaps of rubber and debris around your home are perfect spots for cockroaches to build a habitat. One cockroach becomes two, two becomes four and they keep on increasing their numbers.
Cockroaches are a danger to both property and health
In Australia, the German cockroach, Australian cockroach and American cockroach are the most common types of pests. Cockroaches can impose home damage as well as health damage. Cockroaches are downright health hazards and can spread diseases through contaminated surfaces. They are known to carry food-borne pathogens including Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi, Rotavirus, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Cryptosporidium parvum. These pathogens can cause severe digestive illnesses. In some people, cockroaches trigger asthma attacks and allergies.
When it comes to property damage, you may find cockroaches nesting in storage spaces like cupboards, and shelves. You’re highly likely to find cockroach faeces around places they have nests, even nymphs. Finding cockroach faeces in your bookshelf or storage space is not something you want. Cleaning up is another story, and often, cockroach infested spaces are left with a pungent smell which could take weeks to remove.
How can I keep my home safe from cockroaches?
Because cockroaches get access to our homes quite easily, pest control for cockroaches is critical to keep your home safe from cockroach infestations. Cockroach pest control products come in a variety of types and sizes. For pest control, cockroach sprays are possibly the most commonly used form of roach killer products. Unleashing a can full of toxic chemicals instantly after spotting a cockroach running around in your kitchen seems to be a quick solution for the trouble, right? Well, what always seems like the quickest solution might not be the best solution for a case. Yes chemical products to kill roaches do manage to kill the cockroach, but these products impose some collateral damages. Firstly, chemical roach products are poisonous and should not be sprayed near food sources. To add to that, inhaling aerosols can come with long term detrimental health effects in both humans and pets. Frequent exposure to these toxic pest control spray for roaches may even become lethal. Mind you, pest control roach sprays have non specific effects. This means, these roach control products will harm the environment and may also kill insects and other animals which are not household pests.
Another widely used product for cockroach pest control is cockroach pest control gel. Gel for cockroach control are considered as a cheap cockroach pest control method among many households. These gels come in tubes, and are applied on surfaces and areas where cockroaches have a high activity. The cockroaches eat these gels, and die. Now, these gels for cockroaches might be cheap, but like bug sprays, these gels also contain toxic substances that should not be left lying around here and there, especially when you have children and pets at home.
