As the weather cools, bugs of all kinds will try to make their way indoors! This type of cockroach, also known as Oriental Cockroach or Water Bug, tend to come up through the sewers and cracks. They love warm, damp environments and food crumbs. These guys also tend to come out at night. Have you noticed some on your porch or sidewalk after dark? If you have an infestation, don't just call an exterminator! Try the following steps as well:... - Prevention is key! Keep food stored away, get closed trashcans, wipe down your counters regularly, and keep your floors clean! - Seal all cracks in windows and doors.This also helps with energy efficiency! Win-Win! - Make sure your pipes are clean (hey-oh!) - Try a DIY Cockroach Trap: https://cockroachfacts.com/roach-traps/ Do you have any other safe tips and tricks? Share below!

Happy Sunday! Make sure you clear your lint trays from your clothes dryer after every wash to prevent fires! Also, give wool or spikey dryer balls a try. They're better for sensitive skin, reduce drying time, and are better for the environment than dryer sheets.
