To be blunt and answer the question in the title – Why NOT?! Do you wish to live and co-exist with cockroaches? Are you okay with them lying around, knowing they carry thousands of germs and diseases? Is it fine knowing that they can reproduce and bring new roaches into your home? If your answer to these questions is NO, then don’t waste any time in getting cockroach control.
Cockroach habitats
They like dirt. They like garbage. The most likely place you will find cockroaches in your house is your garbage bags, where these scavengers are searching for food crumbs and leftovers. The next most likely place to find them are the drains, where there is nothing but germs and bacteria and viruses.
Other likely places they will be living in outside your house are gutters, sewers, ponds, and similar unhygienic places. Considering they live and exist in such places, you shouldn’t want them in your home at all, because they come carrying these particles and germs from those areas. Getting cockroach pest control makes sense now?
Transmission of diseases
Now it doesn’t take time for such bacteria and germs to get into the air we breathe at home, and these can cause diseases in kids, senior citizens as well as pets in our household. Diseases that they carry and spread include and aren’t limited to salmonellosis, typhoid, cholera, dysentery, leprosy, plague and more. Thus, timely cockroach control services are needed to avoid future health hazards and hospital bills.
All of these are very severe diseases that can also prove to be fatal. What’s worse is that it doesn’t take much for these diseases to spread once roaches have entered our homes. They crawl up and down all our furniture, refrigerator, ovens, cabinets, floors and almost every place that we regularly come in contact with on any given day. With a cockroach treatment at home, you won’t have to hear the names of these diseases in your life.
Easy availability
In the earlier days, cockroach control at home was something not many households conducted. This is true for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we didn’t have as much access to quality research and information which is easily available today over Google and the internet as a whole. Secondly, pest control and home hygiene companies have increased in number as well as in the scope of their services. They’ve also made it very easy to contact them, making cockroach pest control readily available in India!
Prevention is always better than cure
We sometimes hear people arguing about why they need to get cockroach control services if they haven’t seen cockroaches at home yet. Well, we can’t stress enough on the importance of prevention and precaution. You see people wearing masks on the road these days, as a preventive measure against coronavirus. You see people wearing helmets while riding motorcycles.
Similarly, a routine cockroach treatment at home is recommended to ensure the health of your home is never compromised and is always 100/100. Why wait to see a cockroach and then take action? A routine service means the technicians coming over every 3 or 6 months and applying their gels and chemicals to keep any of these scavengers away.
Alternately, you can practice DIY cockroach control methods as well. The first step is always maintaining high levels of hygiene at home to avoid cockroaches altogether. Plenty of other home remedies are advised if you have a smaller number of roaches at home. However, once it’s an issue, always contact the experts! They have waaaaaaaaay more experience than the common man ever will in this field!
