How to Get Rid of Cockroaches and Prevent Their Invasion

As the weather warms up, unwanted guests like cockroaches start making their way into our homes. But why do they seem to invade more during the summer months? While these pests are active year-round, spring and summer see a surge in activity due to the hatching of their eggs.

To keep them at bay, it’s crucial to close off any entry points, particularly through plumbing systems, and maintain a clean environment by promptly disposing of food waste and keeping surfaces clean.
