Many believe that a clean and well-kept house is pest free and doesn’t need to get pest control. But that is not necessarily true. Pest infestation in home has nothing to do with the fact that the house is spotless clean or hasn’t been broomed or mopped for days together. Pests, especially cockroaches can get attracted to your home for various reasons, like the food available on your kitchen top or the warmth in the corners of your living room. The home is nothing less than a grocery store for the common household pests and they can cause serious damage if you don’t stop them in time.

Some pests like rats, ants make their presence very obvious by their movements. However there are some dangerous ones like cockroaches which are nocturnal and peep out only in the night and you may not know about their presence for days together. They love to reside in warm, dark and moist places in the cracks, or hard-to-reach corners. Hence it is important to get regular pest control and kill cockroaches.

But pest control in lockdown has taken a back seat in many homes. Many believe that they are cleaning the home themselves and every nook and corner of the house is spotless clean, so pest control is not all that important. But that is absolutely not true. Cleaning home is very different from doing pest control.

Here are five reasons why regular pest control is important to kill cockroaches regularly:

1.Pests can pose serious health threats 

The very sight of pests in homes is unpleasant. They are nothing less than a nuisance but they pose more serious threat than that. Some of the most common pests like cockroaches are capable of transferring terrible diseases. The tricky part is that it is impossible to know if the pest is carrying a disease or not. So it is advisable to be cautious and get pest control regularly.

Cockroaches pick up bacteria while crawling along unhygienic surfaces and when they move over uncovered food, they can cause food contamination. Also they easily contaminate surfaces with their body parts like hair, saliva and excreta. Kill Cockroaches on the first sight because they spread some serious diseases like Salmonella and Dysentery. Cockroaches can even cause severe allergy through their saliva and faeces. If the cockroach happens to bite you then it can cause itching and swelling too.

2.Pest control is important to keep food safe and healthy

Just like humans, pests also need food, water and shelter to survive. And kitchen in our household provides them with perfect conditions they need to survive. Keeping pet food in the open, leaving used utensils in the sink overnight and keeping the kitchen top greasy and dirty overnight, are some conditions which attract cockroaches. From filth to your plates, the cockroach can roam around anywhere and leave behind traces of bacteria on your supposedly clean utensils. It is important to kill cockroaches because they easily contaminate the food without you even realising. This makes the food unhealthy and unfit to be consumed. However, unaware of the presence of cockroaches in home, people tend to consume the same food and fall sick. The root cause of sickness goes unnoticed for days together. So get pest control done to kill cockroaches at regular intervals and lead a healthy life.

3.Cockroach infestation starts small and grows quickly into a serious trouble

Sight of one cockroach usually doesn’t ring an alarm for many people. It seems to be insignificant and they either throw a newspaper or a slipper to kill cockroaches and believe that there is no need of pest control.  However the problem doesn’t end there. It starts from there. 

Once you kill cockroaches, its nest stays safe. Cockroach nests are usually unnoticed and untraceable as they hide in some corners or deep in a cluttered area. Also, cockroaches lay as many as 16 eggs at a time. So when you kill a cockroach, in all probability there is an army of cockroach in your household that is preparing for the attack. They can quickly travel to other sites and spread cockroach infestation everywhere. So quickly do a pest control at home and prevent your house from a massive attack.

4.Cockroaches can make your home unpleasant to live in

Once the cockroach infestation is established, you will find their droppings in the entire home, especially below the sink and in your kitchen. These droppings look similar to pepper but it is an unpleasant sight and you have to clean it. You might kill cockroaches easily but cleaning their droppings every morning is a pain in itself. Foul smell is another problem in serious cockroach infestation. Even after you get the pest control done, it takes some time, before the smell fades away.

5.Pest control gives you a stress-free happy life

Any sign of unwanted creature in the house is unpleasant and cockroach can literally give us shivers and even a headache. They can make your life a misery. The thought of cockroaches crawling on the kitchen tops, leaving droppings everywhere and getting inside the closet is the biggest nightmare one can have.

For some it is tough to kill cockroaches and others believe that the biggest weapon to work against cockroach is a newspaper or a slipper. But when you try to kill cockroaches, they fly so quickly that eliminating them becomes really tough. Also they give us all surprises by jumping out of bins and cans, and by the time you reach out for a newspaper or a repellent, to kill cockroaches, they  disappear.
