Good afternoon,  

Please can I ask if anyone else in the Torreta 3 area is having issues with cockroaches ? For 3 weeks now keep seeing live and dead ones even though have traps , sprays and have sealed all possible entry points . I clean my floors with DESIC  which is a repellant . Also have mosquiteras on a...

...ll windows / doors . Rubbish taken daily and sinks and showers wiped dry and there are no leaks for a water supply for them . Opening on bidet sealed and a plug firmly in situ  Is the warm weather attracting them ? When will this pass as becoming a bit uneasy about it all 

Thanks

I'm afraid it's that time of year for cockroaches. If you find a way of stopping them then please let us all know......

I live on the 12th floor and have had them fly through the open windows and doors.

Just learn to live with them, they are completely harmless. Don't use the so called traps inside your house, they work OK, but they also attract them.

I understand how you feel, I hate the thought they are running around at night, we are also being plagued with wood lice they seem to be everywhere.

Sounds like you have been pretty meticulous in your work to prevent them.

Look for any areas where they could be getting in - for example where pipes enter the property. Seal any gaps no matter how small. Any gaps anywhere - around shower trays, kitchen kick plates, water supply to kitchen, to washing machine etc etc, external electricity cables entry points. These are...

... the places they normally enter. 

Use bleach in all household pipes every now and again - a good litre down each, leave for an hour before flushing through.

Use Oro around outside door frames.

These measures probably won't kill them but it will deter them.
