Imagine welcoming a colleague at work who is visiting your apartment for the first time, and at the very entrance, a cockroach makes its way past the living room, embarrassing, right?. And most times, roaches can be stubborn to DIY methods, and professional insights maybe a good idea.

First cockroaches thrive in warm, humid climates and filth. That means anytime you leave dirty dishes in sinks, food crumbs on tabletops, and the floors, hipping garbage, and un-drained water, you are welcoming a roach infestation in your home. Containing roaches in a single unit may not be as stringent as controlling in an apartment. In apartments, cockroaches can quickly infest all the houses using the shared vents and opening, especially if you have a neighbor who is not hygienic.

There are six significant cockroaches found in Arizona American, German, European, brown-banded, brown, and Turkestan. The primary ways to keep cockroaches out of your apartment include;

• Storing food in tight containers

• A concussion of boric acid, flour, and sugar, the flour, and sugar will act as roach baits while the acid will eradicate them.
• Use lavender oil to spray around your house; roaches loathe the fragrances.
