Getting Rid Of Cockroaches: Five Tips For Apache Junction Homeowners

Cockroaches are pests that we want to eliminate from our homes as quickly as possible. These insects spread diseases, contaminate food, and take over our homes in the blink of an eye! To help you get rid of unwanted cockroaches from your Apache Junction home, we want to provide you with five helpful tips.

1. Remove their access to food by always keeping lids on trash cans, compost bins, and recycling bins. They are excellent scavengers and always on the hunt for a free meal.
2. Maintain a clean kitchen, wipe down counters, wash dishes, and put leftover food in containers with airtight lids or the refrigerator.
3. Cockroaches have high moisture needs. Make your home less appealing to cockroaches by repairing leaking pipes, ensuring good ventilation, and repairing dripping faucets. 
4. Regular vacuuming can help to dislodge hiding cockroaches and remove them from your home. 
5. Partner with us at Overson Pest Control and implement regular pest control services. Consistent pest control is the best way to prevent problems with cockroaches and eliminate those that find their way inside before they have a chance to multiply.

The Answers To Apache Junction's Most Common Scorpion Questions

Scorpions are pests that people have many questions about because they are regular visitors to yards and homes in Arizona. 

One of the most common questions is whether being stung by a scorpion is life-threatening. The only species of scorpion in our area with venom strong enough to cause a significant or life-threatening reaction is the bark scorpion. Most scorpions do not pose significant health risks to people. 

Another common question about scorpions is where they like to live. Scorpions are predators and prefer to live in areas that provide them access to prey. If you see large numbers of scorpions in your yard or home, you likely also have large populations of insects, spiders, or other small critters on your property. 

The final question most people have is how they can protect their home and family from these pests. The answer to that question is easy! Partner with us at Overson Pest Control. We know how to find scorpions and provide the effective treatments necessary to eliminate them. Call today!
