A Roach Poem
Little roach out on the floor Just a nymph not quite full grown Out of darkness to explore the great wide open, alone
It is meal time for this roach Avoids the stomp of a shoe Where crumbs fall it will approach even if its out in view
We caught you roach, time to go from this life you’ll go away Take your friends they are our foe With Rove’s treatment, gone you’ll stay
Seriously, Roaches Must Go
While it’s fun to learn about roaches and think up odd rhymes about them, they are a nuisance in more ways than one. They reproduce quickly and spread germs and disease wherever they go. Allowing even a few roaches to hang around threatens to allow the population to get out of control quickly. Keep in mind, they like to stay where they feel pressure on all sides of their body and prefer the cover of night. This means if you are seeing roaches out and about, their population is pushing them out of their comfort zone. By the time they are seen, they are typically well established. Oftentimes you will see their droppings before you see actual roaches.
Removing Food Sources
Roaches are highly dependent on food sources. Keep food off-limits by:
- sealing it in airtight containers
- keeping crumbs cleaned up including behind and under appliances
- keeping stove and oven catch dishes and basins cleaned and degreased
- degreasing walls, floors, appliances, and bottoms of cabinets
Remember that it does not take much food for roaches to flourish. Once the battle has begun, be diligent in starving them out.
