Cockroaches and how to try and prevent further
infestations. 1.
A very high level
of sanitation and hygiene, which will reduce the food and shelter available
to the cockroaches. This involves cleaning up after food handling should be
immediate, thorough and regular. Dishes and utensils should not be left
unwashed overnight. Pet food bowls should not be left overnight. 2.
Water
availability should be kept to a minimum. Do not leave water containers or
leave accumulated water (ie leaky tap water from cleaning activities). 3.
Foods should be
stored in tight containers. Cereals, flours, meats and all other food
materials should be kept in the refrigerator or in containers that can be
tightly sorted. 4.
Garbage should
be sorted in tight containers. 5.
Where possible
cracks and crevices that may harbour cockroaches should be filled in. All
entry points around pipes, through floors and walls. 6.
All equipment
should be kept above ground level where possible to avoid waste build up. 7.
Regular clean
up of long term build up of waste food (eg grease accumulation around stove
and vents, or spilt food materials).
