Cockroaches in Restaurants

One of the most common nuisances around the house, office or food service establishments is the cockroach. Cockroaches are not only annoying, especially when they go walking around the house leaving unpleasant odour, they are also health risks in some cases.

Food should be sealed and stored in a clean place. It always pays to properly clean stoves so that no food debris are left overnight. Making sure that no dishes are left overnight in the sink and that the garbage is stashed away properly would help prevent the onslaught of cockroaches.
