How Roaches Get Into the Home

Are you embarrassed that you have roaches? You don't want anyone to know because they will think you're an unclean person. If this fits you, you have come to the right place. It's not your fault that roaches are in your home. They can come from a number of sources you have virtually no control over.

Roaches Are at the Grocery Stores

Roaches love to eat food. Product is shipped from all over the world to grocery stores. It only takes one supplier to infest a lot of other suppliers. The most popular way people bring roaches home is in a paper grocery bag. Why? Roaches like paper. They can also be found in other paper products at the grocery store like beer and soda cases.

Roaches at the Laundromat

A lot of apartment dwellers go to Laundromats. And, apartments are known for having roach problems. When you go to the Laundromat, a roach might just tag along in your laundry. Maybe he/she is looking for a cleaner home to pursue. Be careful when going to the Laundromat.

Roaches in Used Appliances

First of all, don't buy a used appliance unless you really have to or you know it's from a clean home. Roaches love appliances. They make their home in microwaves, ovens, fridges, and even washers and dryers. Don't try to save a few dollars. Don't ever take a used appliance from an apartment complex. You are just asking for some roach trouble.

Shipping Materials Have Roaches

Roaches love wood and paper and these are very common shipping materials. If a warehouse is infested you can be sure some of the critters will make it to your place of business. That's why it's important to always put out some boric acid bait paste. For one reason, if some roaches show up they won't survive long enough to infest the premises.

Neighbors Have Roaches

If you are in dwellings attached to your neighbors homes, if one person brings them in they can easily spread without detection for some time. To keep them out of your home, keep water and food sources sealed. The roaches will tend to make their nest where there is the most water and food. If you want to get rid of all the roaches, you will need to treat your neighbors homes as well.

Roaches Come in From Outdoors

Hot humid areas have a larger concentration of roaches living outdoors. In some cases, they can come in from your yard. Some people use a boric acid bait mixed with fertilizer to eliminate the outdoor roaches.

Fortunately there is a low cost effective solution. It is called boric acid roach bait. We call if MRF 2000 roach bait. It is effective against roaches for up to one year and easy to apply.
