There are cockroaches in the bathroom. To eradicate them, the following three steps can be taken:
1. Keep clean and dry: Regularly clean the bathroom, including the floor, walls, sink, toilet, and other corners, paying special attention to removing water stains and food debris to reduce cockroaches' food sources and living space. Keep the bathroom dry and promptly repair any leaks in the pipes and walls, as cockroaches prefer damp environments.
2. Use physical and chemical methods to kill cockroaches: Physical methods: Use traps such as sticky insect boards, cockroach stickers, or cockroach cages, and place them in areas where cockroaches often appear, such as corners or openings in the bathroom, to physically capture cockroaches. Chemical method: If the cockroach problem is severe, chemical insecticides can be considered. Common chemical pesticides include sprays and powders. Select products that are relatively safe for human body, and operate in strict accordance with the instructions to avoid direct contact with skin and food. Natural insecticides: Boric acid and other natural insecticides can also be used, scattered in areas where cockroaches often appear. If cockroaches accidentally ingest them, it will cause toxicity to their digestive system, thus achieving a clearance effect.
3. Seal concealed areas and conduct regular inspections: Use sealant or grout to seal concealed areas such as pipes, sewers, and wall joints in the bathroom to reduce the entry and exit of cockroaches. Regularly check the hygiene condition of the bathroom, especially in corners and concealed areas. Once cockroaches are found, take immediate measures to remove them.
By following the above three steps, the problem of cockroaches in the bathroom can be effectively controlled and eradicated. Meanwhile, maintaining long-term cleanliness and hygiene habits is also an important measure to prevent the breeding of cockroaches.
