FAQs About Cockroach Control in Durham 

What can I do to prevent cockroach infestations in my home?

Preventing cockroach infestations begins with implementing proactive measures to make your home less attractive to these pests. Some helpful tips include:

• Sealing cracks and crevices: Cockroaches can enter your home through tiny openings, so seal any cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and pipes to prevent access.
• Eliminating food sources: Cockroaches are attracted to food debris, so keep your kitchen clean and store food in airtight containers. Don't leave pet food out overnight, and promptly clean up spills and crumbs.
• Reducing moisture: Cockroaches thrive in damp environments, so fix any leaks and ensure proper ventilation in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements to reduce moisture levels.
