Mortein

We are going to let you in on some information and we already know that you are not going to like it. You are aware of that big, eerie-looking cockroach you found crawling around the house? It’s very unlikely that it was there all by itself. There is a high chance it came from a cockroach nest close by, located inside your walls, skirting boards or cupboards – and that’s where all his buddies are. Many of them. Hundreds – maybe even thousands.

There! We gave you the bad news. However there is also good news. You can control this mayhem with the help of simple procedures. Just read the below mentioned key steps for cockroach-control that would stay with you for a longer period of time.

STEP 1. COCKROACH – PROOF YOUR HOME

Cockroaches absolutely cherish the idea of nesting in kitchens as they get VIP access to food and water. They are foragers, so it is better to stack all your food in sealed containers (refrain from leaving open packets on your counter or in your pantry), get rid of food and drink spills instantaneously and wipe down your sink and benches of surplus water. Roaches need to drink water to survive, so the best way to get rid of them is by cutting the supply. And, most importantly, do not forget to get rid of rubbish frequently. Roaches are fond of eating rubbish, too.

STEP 2. PROTECT LIKE A PRO

If you are witnessing cockroaches frequently, it is time for you to bring out the big guns in the form of Mortein All Insect Killer Aerosol. It takes care of infestations inside and outside your home in a jiffy.
