I’d like to tell you about a country without cockroaches. Sounds like the start of a toddler joke, right? But it’s not. It’s real. I will admit for a small country, the first thing we want to share with other people is that there aren’t any cockroaches here. It’s the one thing on our minds when we see foreigners or out of country guests. There are no cockroaches in Etopia. How did we get our roach problem under control? You’ll have to keep reading to find out. Cockroaches are an international problem. Nearly every country on earth has a cockroach issue, but one country is so serious about their cockroach problem they have made an entire commercially successful business out of it: Vietnam. This solution is so effective that even the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has used their service and proudly speaks about it upon request. I was having a great day. The sun was shining, and I was looking forward to the next few days off work. But my plans were quickly derailed by…cockroaches. It all started when I parked my car in front of my friend’s place. These weren’t your ordinary cockroaches either, they were big. I’m talking about big enough for me to notice as I made my way into his apartment. At first he tried to tell me there was nothing I could do about them, but that didn’t sit right with me. This underground network stretches beneath hundreds of cities and towns. The whole of the United States military cannot exterminate this scourge, so to speak. Their wings are spinning above the nation’s skies, and we hold no weaponry capable of stopping them. They transmit poisonous saliva through bites that infects us with ailments that we must survive in order to spread the secret far and wide. We will not live in fear. Now is the time to organize, now is the time to act, before it is too late.

Country Without Cockroaches

Introduction

Cockroaches are one of the most common pests, and they can be found in just about any home. Fortunately, there are many ways to keep them out of yours. Here are some tips to prevent cockroaches in your home.

Other than the fact that they’re disgusting, cockroaches have been shown to carry harmful pathogens and transmit diseases.

Other than the fact that they’re disgusting, cockroaches have been shown to carry harmful pathogens and transmit diseases. Because cockroaches are attracted to food scraps and garbage, they often come into contact with human waste. This means that if you have roaches in your home—and especially if you live in an apartment building or other place where there are multiple units—it’s possible for them to spread harmful bacteria from one unit to another via their feces.

Cockroach droppings also carry loads of bacteria, which can lead to infections such as salmonella, dysentery (also called shigella), hepatitis A and typhoid fever when people eat contaminated food touched by roach feces or saliva. Children ages 5-9 years old are most susceptible because they tend not wash their hands after playing outside or eating messy foods like ice cream cones.

They can cause allergic reactions and trigger asthma attacks.

If you have asthma, it’s important to be extra careful about cockroach allergens. Cockroach allergens can provoke asthma attacks in some people, but they’re not just limited to adults. In fact, children are particularly susceptible to these types of allergies because their immune systems haven’t fully developed yet and they’re also more likely than adults to spend time in areas where there may be cockroaches or their droppings or eggs (especially if they’re younger kids who crawl around the floor).

According to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), cockroach allergens include proteins found inside the roach itself as well as things like its droppings and eggs—and these allergens can trigger allergic reactions that range from mild hives all the way up through life-threatening anaphylaxis symptoms like swelling of your throat or tongue so that you can’t breathe through them anymore.

Although they can be very difficult to exterminate, by following these tips you can at least make your home less attractive to cockroaches, thereby preventing an infestation.

• Clean your house regularly.
• Don’t leave food out on the counter or in the sink.
• Don’t leave pet food out for more than 10 minutes (or throw it away after that).
• Make sure you clean up any spills right away.
• Wash dirty dishes and put them in the dishwasher immediately instead of leaving them in the sink overnight or longer; this will keep roaches out of your garbage disposal area and discourage them from coming back into your house through cracks in walls etcetera

Cockroaches are bad for your health

Cockroaches carry disease and can trigger asthma attacks, especially in children. They are also known to cause allergic reactions including skin rashes, difficulty breathing, and headaches. Cockroaches are notoriously difficult to exterminate; even if you manage to kill one or two of them, more will just keep coming back unless you take the proper steps for eradication.

If you live in a condo or apartment building with cockroach problems, you may be tempted to think that it’s not your problem because someone else owns the building—but this isn’t true! Exterminators recommend that everyone take steps toward preventing an infestation since cockroaches do spread quickly once they make their way into your home.

Conclusion

Cockroaches are bad news. They’re disgusting, they’re filthy and they spread disease. The best thing you can do is to make your home as unattractive as possible by doing things like sealing all cracks and crevices, installing screens on vents and windows, not leaving food out where it can attract cockroaches, cleaning up thoroughly after meals and especially at night when roaches are most likely to be active.
