Why You Have Cockroaches in Your Kansas City Home
If you have ever seen a cockroach in your Kansas City home, you know that they can be pesky critters! These insects are not only ugly to look at, but they can also carry diseases and contaminate your food. In this blog post, we will discuss what attracts these pests to your home, if they can hurt you, what kills them, and how hard it is to get cockroaches out of your Kansas City home.
What attracts cockroaches to your home?
There are a few things that can attract cockroaches to your home. One of the most common reasons is that they are looking for food. Cockroaches are omnivores, which means that they will eat anything from plants to meat. They also need a lot of water, so if you have a leaky faucet or standing water around your home they will be there. Other factors include:
- Dirty dishes or food left out in the open.
- Garbage cans that are not sealed properly.
- Poor hygiene habits.
- Clutter and messes.
If you have any of these things in your home, it is more likely that cockroaches will invade.
Can cockroaches hurt you?
Cockroaches are not harmful to humans, but they can contaminate your food and spread disease. Cockroaches will eat just about anything, including dead skin cells and feces. They also carry around bacteria on their bodies that can cause diseases like E. coli and salmonella.
What kills cockroaches instantly?
There are a few things that will kill cockroaches instantly. One is boric acid, which can be found in many commercial roach killers. Another is heat. Cockroaches cannot survive temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can either use a hot steam cleaner or place them in the oven on high for about 15 minutes.
How hard is it to get rid of cockroaches in Kansas City?
Unfortunately, it is not very easy to get rid of cockroaches in Kansas City. They are hardy insects and can survive for long periods without food or water. They also reproduce very quickly, so if you have a small infestation, it can turn into a big problem very quickly. The best way to get rid of them is to contact a local pest control professional like Miller Pest & Termite.
