What Attracts Cockroaches
Knowing exactly what it is that attracts cockroaches is essential if you are attempting to get rid of them from your house. Why does it matter? What good does it do for you and your battle against these nest invaders to know the answer to this question? The answer to that is simple. To be successful, you need to understand how it works. Once you know how to work then you can come over strategy to defeat them. In other words, you know the weaknesses and you know how to counter exactly.
What gets their attention
So then let’s jump right into what exactly gets the attention and what exactly it is that lures them in. Like you and me, all they really want to do is just make it. In short, they just want to live. Nobody wants to die after all and in this case they don’t want to die either. Let’s make sure that the live and ensure the survival of their species, they need to fulfill the needs that are required for survival. What do they need to survive? The same exact things that we do. Which is food, shelter and water.
Of these three necessities for survival, the most important one that seems to get their attention of most is food. These guys are pretty tough and they’ve been around for millions and millions of years so find shelter workplace that will keep them safe is a problem. They can adapt to anywhere any shelter. Water although just as essential as food is also a little easier to come by (unless of course there in the desert or something like that). But around humans that isn’t a problem.
That leaves food on the list. Food can consider a lot harder for them to obtain compared to the other two necessities. So the answer to our question of what it is that is them forcing their way in is food. However, it’s still important to know what they eat and what their preferences are. It’s also equally important to know how to deter them from getting access to your food and how to stop them from the point that you have an abundant source of food for them to take.
What they will eat
Do cockroaches have a special diet that they strictly stick to? Or do they eat whatever they can find? Well they do definitely have the preferences (which I’ll get to eventually), but they will basically eat anything that they can chew on and swallow. This includes things you would never think of such as:
• Rotting garbage
• Garbage
• Cardboard
• Candle wax
• Soap
• Dead roaches
Now this list is just a short list of weird items that you would never think of when you think of food that cockroaches like to eat. Don’t forget about the things that you would actually think of such as much anything that you would be yourself.
Preferences
Now that we know that the pretty much eat anything, is get to what they actually like to eat, or what they prefer naturally. Cockroach pests and their outdoor cousins actually prefer to eat decaying organic matter. So things like that leaves in the plants and stuff like that are among a favorite for them. 40 cockroaches that have learned to adapt to and live off of humans what they love most are pretty much the same things that we do actually. They love these sweet things and he loved eat batting things. This very fact alone is why most of the commercial roach baits use a sugar base attractants to draw them in.
Possessing this knowledge also allows you to make your own cockroach bait should you choose to do so. Just use the sugar as an attractant. Soap are much anything like plain white sugar or syrup or anything else that is sweet to the taste will get their attention and it’ll get them to come and eat it. I’ll be covering how to make your own bait and stuff like that later date so make sure you come back and check that out when it’s ready. For now are going to concentrate on what’s attracting them and how to stop them from knowing that you have exactly what they are looking for.
Stopping them
We now know what gets their attention and what they want and what they like, so let’s get to how to stop them. Let’s talk about how to prevent them from getting access to food and potentially spreading the nasty germs that they carry on to what you are eat later on. Let’s talk about how to hide the fact that you have food. How to stop them from being able to smell your food.
Achieving this is actually pretty simple. To stop them from be able to smell your food (which in this case is actually food you can eat and garbage) all you have to do is just cover them up. This means but for the way were to belong like a refrigerator. It also means you keep the trash covered. He also to make sure you take out the trash and bring it outside before it starts go bad and it starts to race smell. Is nothing really gets the attention like the smell of rotting garbage. And trust me they have a very good sense of smell they can smell it from quite a while away.
That’s really all there is to what attracts cockroaches and how to stop them. Possessing this knowledge and applying what you now know you should be able to minimize the chances of drawing in additional cockroaches to deal with. The less that comes in these the less you have to deal with (especially if you’re ready dealing with a serious problem).
