Roach Control Checklist
Use this checklist to keep roaches out of your drains and stop infestations in your home before they start!
How to Keep Roaches Out of Your Drains
You can help to reduce the food sources roaches need to survive and work towards getting rid of them for good by taking these few simple steps:
If you keep garbage cans under your kitchen or bathroom sinks, remove that garbage nightly; this will keep it from attracting roaches and removes a vital food source.
Plug your drains at night with metal screens or rubber stoppers.. Roaches are nocturnal, so it is essential to do this before you turn in for the night.
Keep your kitchen counters, floors, and tables clean. . Place leftover food in sealed containers and remove any other food sources that may attract roaches.
Clean your kitchen sink and drains.. Food particles are often washed down your kitchen drain and provide roaches with a never-ending buffet. Using a sink cleaner that is safe on drain pipes is recommended to clear any food particles from your drain.
Don’t leave dirty dishes or scraps from dinner in the kitchen sink, especially overnight.. Be sure that the dishes are either washed or rinsed and placed in the dishwasher and take any food scraps out before bedtime.
Can Pouring Bleach Down Your Drain Kill Roaches?
Bleach does indeed kill roaches, but it isn’t recommended as a drain system cleaner. Bleach can release toxic fumes from your drains and will eventually cause damage to the entire drain system. You might want to use bleach to create a type of roach-killing spray, but you may want to refrain from pouring it down your tubs or sinks and find alternative drain cleaning methods.
