Cockroaches get into everything, multiply rapidly, and can survive for several months without food and up to two weeks without water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also like warm, dark, moist spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, your kitchen is practically a perfect insect habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you really don\u2019t want these pests in your kitchen. In addition to simply being nasty, these insects carry a number of diseases, and their excrement can cause severe allergic reactions in some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prevention Is Always The Best Medicine<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to keeping cockroaches out of your kitchen is to keep them out of your environment, so they\u2019re less likely to find their way into your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your next defence against these insects is to make your home inhospitable to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. PLUG THE HOLES<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep them out of your home by caulking cracks and crevices in your home\u2019s foundation, in baseboards, and in walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cockroaches can crawl through incredibly tiny spaces \u2014 as thin as a dime \u2014 so be extra diligent about sealing up even the tiniest cracks or holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homeowners should also cover drains and make sure windows are tight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seal any gaps around water, gas, and heating pipes, both indoors and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also want to eliminate water sources by finding and repairing any water leaks. Experts recommend insulating kitchen and bathroom pipes to prevent humidity and condensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. GIVE THEM NOWHERE TO HIDE<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/cockroach-wooden_45334-60.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/cockroach-wooden_45334-60.jpg 626w, https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/cockroach-wooden_45334-60-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve sealed everything up, the next step is to eliminate hiding places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These creepy-crawlies are\u00a0&#8216;<em>thigmotropic<\/em>&#8216;, meaning they like their bodies \u2014 preferably on all sides \u2014 to be in contact with solid objects. In other words, they like to be in piles of stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like in the crammed-together paper bags you might have stuffed between under your sink, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for areas where you might be inadvertently offering these pests a safe refuge, and have a wholesale cleanout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, in general, do your best to keep your home tidy and clutter-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. KEEP IT CLEAN<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>In all seriousness, this one is important. And that\u2019s because, ultimately, it\u2019s food the pests are after. So you want to keep your kitchen as pristine as you possibly can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though it\u2019s late and you\u2019re tired,&nbsp;<strong>don\u2019t leave dirty dishes<\/strong>&nbsp;in the sink. And go ahead and take the time to&nbsp;<strong>carefully wipe down the countertops<\/strong>&nbsp;of all crumbs and food bits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t leave food out on the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure food items in your pantry are thoroughly sealed, and keep&nbsp;<strong>pantry shelves clean<\/strong>&nbsp;and crumb-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweep or mop often to not only clean up food particles but to also clean up excrement, which A. stinks and B. attracts more of these unwelcome guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What To Do When Prevention Fails<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve implemented all of the above prevention tricks and the vile insects still infiltrate your home, you may need to turn to more murderous solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. DUST THEM OFF<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Start with &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/imaginecare.co.ke\/product\/sevin-dudu-dust-200g\/\"><em>dudu<\/em><\/a>&#8216; dust<\/strong>, a powdery substance made up of carbaryl. It overestimates an insect&#8217;s nervous system eventually making it impossible for the insect to breath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply, clean thoroughly, and then spread a very thin layer of the dust in areas known to be trafficked by cockroaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t apply the dust to damp or wet areas, as the wet powder won\u2019t kill insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the bugs track through the dust, their exoskeleton will be affected and they will die in 7 to 14 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. BORIC ACID<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Another often used and highly effective insect killer is <em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/gardenvet.co.ke\/index.php\/customer-resources\/over-the-counter-product\/acaricides-insecticides\">boric acid<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. Derived from the mineral boron, boric acid is quite toxic to insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also be toxic to pets and humans, so use boric acid with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few licks are unlikely to hurt a large dog, but repeated exposure can cause vomiting and dehydration. Small dogs and cats are at greater risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll want to caution children to stay away from treated areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. OTHER CHEMICALS<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/hand-spraying-pesticide-from-spray-can_107420-29675.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/hand-spraying-pesticide-from-spray-can_107420-29675.jpg 626w, https:\/\/kenyahomes.co.ke\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/hand-spraying-pesticide-from-spray-can_107420-29675-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A wide variety of commercial traps, strips, and sprays are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They often contain a combination of insecticides, such as fipronil or imidacloprid, which do a good job of killing them. But these are also toxic to pets and people, so use caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bait stations are among the safest toxin-delivery vehicles, as the poisons are contained within a pet- and child-proof container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bait stations contain a poison-tainted food attractant. The insects feed, then go back to their nesting area where they expel sputum and feces and kill others, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the bait traps in areas where you\u2019ve seen a lot of bug traffic. Under the kitchen sink is usually a good place, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can You Do More? <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re pretty much just completely over it with these gross insects in the kitchen, it\u2019s time to take steps to get rid of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, ensure that you&#8217;ve done everything you can to rid your environment of the pests, so they\u2019re less likely to be around and invade your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seal up your home to make ingress more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, make sure your home is as clean as possible, and eliminate possible hiding spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they\u2019re still intruding on your midnight refrigerator raids, consider using &#8216;<em><a href=\"http:\/\/gardenvet.co.ke\/index.php\/customer-resources\/over-the-counter-product\/acaricides-insecticides\">dudu<\/a><\/em>&#8216; dust, and if that doesn\u2019t work, you might need to turn to more toxic solutions such as boric acid or other chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Do you have tried and true cockroach-killing methods?
