Though these pests are common, there are plenty of ways to make sure your home isn’t at risk of an infestation.
It’s no secret that the kitchen quickly becomes a magnet for insects like flies or cockroaches when dirty dishes are left about. Make sure that all of your benches and splash-backs are wiped off after cooking and free of any crumbs or sauces.
