Why is it not good to step on a cockroach in the kitchen?
Often we may think that crushing insects is the best idea to get rid of them. However, according to a survey carried out by experts in the field, this is not a good option because they are very resistant insects capable of reproducing very easily and spreading bacteria.
In addition, the bacteria it carries can spread which can have consequences for your health. It is advisable to opt instead for traps, vacuum the kitchen or buy a product that can permanently combat cockroaches. Finally, when crushed, they release gregarious pheromones. This substance encourages other cockroaches to come into your kitchen.
To avoid the appearance of these insects, you can also follow simple and very easy tips to do at home
Crumbs and leftover food generally attract cockroaches. For the same reason, you should avoid leaving food within their reach.
You should clean the floor very regularly, especially in areas where there is food such as the kitchen and dining room.
From time to time check the back of appliances that generate heat and humidity such as the refrigerator or microwave, as this is the favorite place for these harmful insects.
Like ants, cockroaches hate the smell of mint as well as garlic, bay leaf and cucumber. These homemade ingredients are powerful repellents.
It is recommended to wash kitchen utensils immediately after use to avoid attracting cockroaches.
