Here are some things you may do to try to eliminate cockroaches from your home immediately:

  • Do your best to eliminate any potential food sources by storing all food, including that for pets, in airtight containers and clearing up any crumbs or spills that may have occurred.
  • Close all possible openings: Find the entry points into your home that cockroaches could use, and plug them up.
  • Place bait stations in locations where cockroaches are known to congregate and use cockroach bait. Cockroaches are drawn to the stations’ poison and killed there.
  • Spray the area with a natural insecticide: Infested regions should be sprayed with a natural insecticide, such as peppermint oil or diatomaceous earth.
  • Place traps: Cockroaches can be killed with sticky traps or electric traps.

It’s vital to remember that a cockroach infestation might not be wiped out in a single night, and that it might take several days, if not weeks, before the population starts to drop noticeably.

Use caution while applying pesticides and always read and follow the label directions to reduce the risk of injury to humans and other animals.
