You are not going to like what I have to say. But if you have cockroaches, they are only there because you let them in.

Ouch, that hurts, I know. But it is the truth.

You have to start killing cockroaches because one way or the other and probably without knowing, you have provided a place for them to live. Cockroaches are always on the move, looking for a comfortable place to stay. So if the path they travel runs through your house, there has to be good reason for it.

Here is the good news though: there are many ways for you to cut down this road traffic. The most important thing you can do is block the access to your house. Make sure there are no piles of leaves or lose trash nearby. Roaches love to get into wet damp areas where they can hide from the sunlight. They hate daylight!

These wet and damp areas are breeding grounds for roaches and you don’t want them anywhere near your house. Look for cracks in your foundation near the ground. Those cracks could lead up to the interior of your walls.

The inside of your house is just as important. If you have a lot of debris, piles of magazines, newspapers, or books, you are creating an ideal environment for the creeps you want to get rid of. And most important: keep your kitchen clean and dry. Killing cockroaches starts with keeping things clean, organized and tide.
