Short YouTube clip by Jarrad Goulding giving practical advice for homeowners who notice cockroaches: over-the-counter products can help; use glue traps to identify activity and gel baits (place under sinks and at the back of pantries) to reduce numbers; avoid only spraying visible roaches or trying to kill them with a shoe because there are usually more; for infestations, hire a licensed pest controller.
Yuck. This is the worst thing you can find in your kitchen. But don't worry. Here's a few things you can do to get rid of them over the counter Products work to some extent. Glue traps are great for knowing what you're working with, and gel baits are great for knocking down the numbers, placing them in spots like under the sink or at the back of your pantry. Spraying just the ones you see is a waste of time. If you've seen one, there's always more hanging around. Same thing goes for using an old shoe, just always more cleanup that way. The only real way to get rid of cockroaches is to have a licensed pest controller come out and deal with them. If you're struggling with an infestation, call the pros.
