  • Make your home as unattractive to pests as possible. You’re not going to be able to have airflow and keep the pests out of your computer.

    Below is a dump of things I did when I had to deal with roaches.

    Reduce moisture as much as possible. Roaches love water. Any leaks, even slow ones, should be addressed. Puddles should not be left ever.

    Seal up any holes. If they’re coming out of around your outlets, there is some foam sheets you can install behind the plate to seal up that gap.

    Seal up your food in your home as best as possible. No bags with clips. You must put it all in airtight containers.

    Keep your kitchen and dining area clean. Never leave any dirty dishes out. All leftovers should be dealt with ASAP. Clean your sink, counters, table, and floor.

    Take special care to maintain your dishwasher. Clean your garbage disposal daily at the least.

    You must only eat in your designated dining room. Do not eat anywhere else.

    Clean all of your floors daily. Sweep and mop. Vacuum your couch.

    Take out your trash daily at the least.

    You will also need to treat for the pests. If you’re sharing walls with other households and they’re not doing the same as you and they are not getting treatments, you have my condolences.
