They make their habitat under the cracks on the walls or some tiny holes. So, to stop them from entering the house you should seal all cracks and holes in your house. Also, you should install door seeps under the doors and windows. This will not allow cockroaches enter through the spaces under the doors and windows.

Don’t feed cockroaches – Cockroaches get their food from your pet food or from the dishes which you leave in your living area? Remove the food right away after eating it and properly dispense the dishes.

Newspapers and boxes – Cockroaches love to make their home in cardboard boxes and newspapers. If these are lying in your house, they are inviting cockroaches in the vicinity into your home. So, clear all the newspapers and cardboard boxes from your house. You may also recycle these products.
