Cockroaches are one of the many insects that we often encounter in Indonesia, generally cockroaches live in warm, dark and humid places. Cockroaches are omnivorous animals. Therefore, cockroaches are very fond of eating the leftover crumbs from the food we eat. This certainly raises the concern of many people, because it is feared that without realizing it, cockroaches will land on the food we are about to eat.

Inside the cockroach's body, there are many bacteria and viruses that can trigger disease when exposed. Not only inside its body, but there are also on the outside of the cockroach's body caused by its dirty living space. Therefore, it is not recommended to have direct contact with cockroaches.

When we see cockroaches around us, generally we will immediately kill them with a broom or other equipment. It will cross our minds to hit the cockroach using various tools that we see. However, did you know that killing cockroaches in the wrong way will affect your health!

Why does that happen? It's because when a cockroach dies, the bacteria and viruses inside its body will come out along with an unpleasant smell. When we do not immediately clean the carcass, it is very possible that the bacteria and viruses contained in the cockroach stick to the place where it died, and even risk being exposed to other surface areas.

To prevent the emergence of cockroaches, here are steps that we can take independently:

• Closing Water Drains: By closing any drains, cockroaches will not enter your home. Keep in mind, that cockroaches exist because there are pathways that make it easy for them to enter your home.
• Cleaning Up Leftovers: Leftover food that we eat should be cleaned up and disposed of immediately, because food scraps will invite cockroaches to come into your home.
• Call a Professional Pest Control Service: A professional pest control service will greatly assist you in the process of preventing and eliminating cockroaches in your home.

In addition to the independent methods above, of course you also need special handling that can only be done by professional pest control services to conduct in-depth checks, as well as extermination to cockroach nests.
