Ultimate Cockroach Control Guide for Singapore Homes

Cockroaches are a persistent pest problem in Singapore, thriving in kitchens, cars, rubbish chutes, and inspection chambers. Our comprehensive guide provides proven, step-by-step methods to effectively eliminate American, German, and Brown-Banded cockroaches from your home.

How Cockroaches Enter Your Home

Cockroaches are master infiltrators that invade homes through:

• Cracks & gaps in walls, pipes, vents, and windows
• Food packages & grocery bags from stores
• Drains & sewers through plumbing systems
• Shared walls & plumbing (common in HDB flats)
• Luggage, clothes & personal items after traveling

5 Essential Tips to Prevent Cockroaches in Kitchens

1. Remove all food sources - Store dry goods in airtight containers and clean spills immediately.
   
2. Never leave dirty dishes overnight - Cockroaches feed on food residue.
   
3. Dispose of trash daily - Use bins with tight-fitting lids.
   
4. Keep surfaces dry - Wipe down counters and sinks nightly.
   
5. Fix leaking pipes - Moisture attracts roaches.
