Prevention methods of small cockroaches:

1, using pesticides

Use insecticide spray. Buy insecticides against cockroaches, which contain cypermethrin or other active ingredients. Spray it in places where cockroaches may hide or sneak in, including cracks, vents and walls.

When spraying pesticides, keep pets and children away and follow all the safety instructions on the product label. If you use cockroach bait at the same time, don't spray pesticides near the bait, so as not to pollute the bait and make cockroaches unable to get close.

2. Don't leave food and water.

Cockroaches need water to survive. They can eat nothing for 1 month (depending on temperature and body shape), but they can't live without water 1 week. Find out all the leaking places in the house, repair them one by one, and cut off the water source of cockroaches.

Clean the house. The key step to prevent cockroaches is to keep clean. Start with the kitchen. Wash the dishes immediately after eating and take the food away. Clean up food crumbs and spilled liquid immediately and keep it basically clean. Pay special attention to cleaning the top of the stove, because cockroaches like grease.
