Why are cockroaches so hard to kill? They hide and can survive nearly anything, including some forms of targeted treatment. That’s why the best way to handle a cockroach infestation is to prevent one in the first place. While you may think of cockroaches as a winter-specific pest, it turns out these unwelcome nuisance insects can and do frequent your home all year long. If there’s any room specifically that calls to cockroaches, it’s the kitchen. In this space of your home, they’ll find no shortage of food and harborage opportunities. No matter how clean your kitchen may be, the risk of cockroaches may always exist; thankfully, McCall Service is standing by to help you solve any issues and give you tips to prevent them from popping up in the first place.

Signs of Cockroaches

Not sure if you may have a cockroach problem? The signs are a lot easier to notice than you might think. If you see even a single cockroach scuttling along the floor—or even a dead one or two—the chances are good that there’s an infestation hiding somewhere in the darkness of your kitchen’s most closed-off spaces. Also, keep an eye out for smears or foul odors; these are prime sources of evidence that a cockroach infestation should be on your radar. Even minor property damage—like chewed-up boxes or cabinet corners—can be a sign of roaches.

Store food in airtight containers.

Storing food in airtight containers isn’t just one of the best ways to keep stored product pests from pilfering your pantry. It’s tip number one for reducing the risk of roaches in your home. Cockroaches can be tenacious when it comes to crawling inside your cabinets, and they’ll do anything they can to find anything they can eat. Airtight plastic or glass containers keep cockroaches—along with other pests, such as rodents—from munching on their contents.

Clean up any spills.

Cockroaches love water, and kitchen spills are one of the best ways for them to get it. Any time a liquid is spilled in your kitchen, it needs to be promptly cleaned up. Regularly mopping your floors and wiping down countertops can remove sticky spots that attract cockroaches and offer them sustenance.

Block points of entry.

If you spend a lot of time getting deliveries, don’t let cardboard boxes accumulate. Roaches can hide inside boxes and packages. Even though it tends to be more of a retail problem, you can still end up with a cockroach infestation in your house. Break down boxes as quickly as possible and don’t keep the remnants in your kitchen. The outside of your home needs attention, too. Seal up cracks around your foundation and do what you can to fill gaps near windows with caulk.

Hire a trusted pest prevention company for regular inspections.

What are the 3 C's in a relationship?

A strong and healthy relationship is built on the three C's: Communication, Compromise and Commitment. Think about how to use communication to make your partner feel needed, desired and appreciated.

acispecialtybenefits.com - Three C's for Happy Couples - ACI Specialty Benefits

February may be the month of love, but it takes more than chocolates, flowers and dinner dates to make a relationship work. A strong and healthy relationship is built on the three C’s: Communication, Compromise and Commitment. Whether starting a new relationship or celebrating decades of marriage, here is a refresher course in the three C’s:

Communication

Think about how to use communication to make your partner feel needed, desired and appreciated. Communication is verbal and non-verbal, so actions speak volumes, and remember that listening is a major component of healthy communication. It’s not always what is said, but how it is said, that’s important. If a couple communicates with aggression, the silent treatment or abusive language or actions, it signals concerns that might best be addressed by a professional.

Compromise

Two people in a relationship bring individual experiences, thoughts, behaviors and personalities to the table. Finding common ground means expressing opinions, understanding and accepting differences and agreeing on compromise. If both people feel heard and understood, it helps prevent one person from feeling like they’re giving in, which can build resentment over time.

Commitment

Commitment means putting each other and the relationship first. This requires a lot of giving, and certainly some sacrifice, but the payoff is a relationship that brings true joy and fulfillment to each other’s lives. Knowing that each person is committed to working through challenges and growing together builds trust and intimacy, and helps release the fears and doubts that hold couples back. Relationships can be challenging, and can take a toll on mental, emotional and physical health, mood, or even focus at work. For help with any relationship or personal concern, contact your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provided by ACI Specialty Benefits at 800.932.0034 or eapinfo@acispecialtybenefits.com.
