Cockroaches can trigger allergic reactions and carry bacteria into your apartment, so it’s smart to implement roach control measures to keep them out. Here are a few easy pest control tips to protect your apartment.

4 Roach Control Tips for Apartments

1. Clear Out Clutter

Roaches prefer spaces where they have places to hide, so remove any unnecessary items, like old cardboard boxes, paper, and dirty laundry, from the floor. In a space free of clutter, the roaches are more exposed and less likely to make your apartment their home.

2. Limit Their Food Sources

Without a steady source of nutrients available, roaches will have to find a new place to infest. Regularly clean the kitchen and dining areas to remove any crumbs or spilled food. Also, store all food in sealed containers to prevent roaches from getting to it.

Roaches also need water to survive, so don’t leave any out. Mop up spills and wipe down sinks and bathtubs after using them. If you have any plumbing leaks, call a plumber to fix them.

4. Seal the Property

These pests can get into your apartment through even the tiniest openings, so inspect the borders of your apartment for cracks or holes. If you find any, patch them up with caulk or sealant.

Pay close attention to your entryways and windows as well, and install weatherstripping to block any visible gaps.
