How to Keep Cockroaches Out of Your Home During the Humid Summer Months

By MA Pest Control LLP | ISO 45001 Certified

When summer rolls around in India, so does the humidity — and cockroaches love humidity just as much as we hate cockroaches. The warm, damp setting for these pests is perfect for breeding, and at MA Pest Control LLP, we feel that prevention is better than infestation. Here are some easy tips to keep cockroaches out of your home this summer.

Why do cockroaches become so active in the summer?

Cockroaches thrive in warm, moist environments. During summer in metropolitan areas like Kolkata, Ranchi, and Siliguri, the humidity levels climb, and they find kitchens, bathrooms, and drains ideal options for hiding and breeding. Cockroaches will sneak in through cracks, pipes, and vents, but once they make their way into your home — they are hard to get rid of and they reproduce quickly.

💧 Control Moisture, Control Roaches

Cockroaches are attracted to leaks and standing water. So check:

• Under the kitchen sink

• Bathroom drains and taps

• Drip pans on refrigerators

• Water purifiers and air coolers

Fix any leaks and ensure any surface is dry, especially at night, because the function is searching for food and water when they are most active.

🍴 Keep Food and Waste Sealed  

Summer is mango, cold drink, and leftovers season. Do not leave your food for cockroaches to eat.

• Seal food in airtight containers.

• Clean the kitchen counter after cooking

• Remove trash daily, wet waste to be paid particular care.

• Clean the pet food bowl, before going to bed.

🚪 Seal Entry Points

Cockroaches can enter through gaps as small as a credit card. Look closely at:
• Window corners
• Below doors
• Exhaust fans
• Cracks in walls
Seal entry points using a silicone-based sealant, or use door sweeps.

Free Hidden Dirty Areas

Cockroaches hang out in dark dirty places. Examples include:
• Behind the refrigerator
• Under the old gas cylinder
• Old cardboard boxes
Remove clutter, vacuum, and clean hidden areas. A hygienic home is your first defence.

🛑 DIY Doesn’t Last — Professional Help Does

Home sprays or boric powder can be a stop-gap measure, but they don’t kill colonies. The nests of cockroaches are generally deep inside walls and underground drains.

MA Pest Control LLP uses safe, government-approved treatments to:

• Locate their nests,
• Seal off breeding points, and
• Provide long-lasting protection with no risk to your family & pets.

📞 Don’t Wait for an Infestation

Cockroaches carry disease-causing bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, and they can also trigger asthma in children. If you see one there are likely dozens hiding. Book a summer inspection today so you can live in a genuinely clean home
