As you may already know, these troublesome termites are extremely harmful and toxic. And for those who think it's not a big deal, today Genie will show you just how dangerous these termites can be. So buckle up, because it might take a while, but let's explore the perils of termites together. Get ready for an eye-opening experience!

The Danger of Termites

When it comes to termites, many people cringe and try to avoid them. However, some may not realize the hidden dangers that come with these tiny creatures. Public health experts state that inside and outside the bodies of termites, there are various types of bacteria that contribute to diseases in humans. These can include toxic fungi, worm larvae, tapeworm eggs, hookworm eggs, and whipworm eggs, just to name a few. This is just a brief overview, and if we were to discuss all the diseases associated with termites, we would need about 10 pages of paper (hehe).

These diseases, if left untreated or without prevention methods, can lead to allergic reactions, high fever, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, hospitalization due to severe gastrointestinal symptoms.

Methods to Prevent Termite Infestation in Different Areas

The first thing to consider when dealing with termites is to inspect various points to see if there are any food scraps or if there are openings or areas that serve as habitats for termites.

Next, it is important to maintain cleanliness in the places that attract termites. This includes sweeping the floor, mopping it, checking corners and hidden areas regularly to ensure that our homes or condos are always clean.

Here are six methods to prevent termite infestation in condos and houses:

1. Dispose of Garbage Properly

By doing so, we eliminate potential food sources that attract termites.

2. Clean Your Condo or House

Regularly clean your living space by sweeping, mopping, and checking corners and spots that may accumulate dirt. This ensures that the interior of your condo or house remains clean at all times.

3. Store Leftover Food Properly

If there is any leftover food on the table, it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator or a food container rather than leaving it out. This is because leaving it out will surely attract termites.

4. Wash Dishes Thoroughly

To avoid breeding disease-causing bacteria, it is important to wash dishes immediately after finishing a meal. If we leave them unwashed, I guarantee that termites will take care of the food residues.

5. Clean Kitchen Cabinets and Drawers

Regularly check and clean your kitchen cabinets and drawers. Termites tend to thrive in moist, food-rich, and dark areas. If we neglect cleaning, we may encounter termites invading our cabinets and drawers.

6. Seal Cracks, Leaks, and Ceilings

Regularly inspect and repair any cracks, leaks, or ceiling openings. These are the prime areas where termites establish their thriving colonies without us even noticing.

6 Ways to Get Rid of Cockroaches for Good

Do you know that we can effectively eliminate cockroaches from our condos or homes using easily accessible items found around the house? It's actually quite simple. Let's explore what options we have.

1. Baking soda mixture:

Simply mix baking soda, sugar, and water together, then place it in the corners or hidden corners of your condominium or home where you might encounter cockroaches. This method will lure the cockroaches to consume the mixture, which will eventually cause them to lose water and suffocate.

2. Cucumber peels:

Let me tell you first that cockroaches don't like the smell of cucumber peels. They have a strong sense of smell and can detect odors very well. Just by having the scent of cucumber peels around, cockroaches will avoid coming near your condominium or home.

3. Fabric softener spray:

Many people may not know that cockroaches cannot breathe in an area with a strong fragrance. Therefore, using a fabric softener spray is another option to eliminate cockroaches. Simply mix fabric softener with water and spray it in the corners or crevices where cockroaches are often found. This will effectively keep them away.

4. Coffee grounds:

For coffee lovers out there, I have good news for you. You can actually make use of coffee grounds to get rid of cockroaches. Simply soak the coffee grounds in water overnight, then open a tall container and place it in areas where you frequently encounter cockroaches. By doing so, the cockroaches will climb into the container but won't be able to climb out, eventually drowning in the water.

5. Diatomaceous earth:

If you plan to use diatomaceous earth as a cockroach deterrent, please be cautious as it contains a high amount of silica. Inhaling it can be hazardous. As for the trapping method, you just need to mix diatomaceous earth with food and place it in areas where you often see cockroaches. When the cockroaches come close to this trap, the diatomaceous earth will absorb the fats and moisture from their exoskeletons, causing them to dehydrate and eventually die.

6. Clean your home:

Believe it or not, the easiest way to get rid of cockroaches is to keep your condominium or home clean. If we keep our homes free from garbage or clutter, cockroaches won't have a place to reside. I want to emphasize focusing on the kitchen area because if it's not clean or if there are food scraps, cockroaches will be attracted and multiply more easily.

So, it's recommended to clean up right after eating to avoid leaving any food scraps behind. This way, cockroaches won't bother you anymore.

Only that is not enough. Today, Genie has some excellent items to offer as options for you to use in getting rid of cockroaches. Let's see what they are.

1. Herbal Cockroach Repellent

The first item is a 100% natural herbal extract, containing peppermint oil and free from chemical insecticides. It has a long-lasting effect of up to 1 month (depending on environmental conditions).

Usage: Simply place the herbal cockroach repellent in corners, crevices, or behind cabinets, or even at the back of your wardrobe. The scent of the herbs will prevent cockroaches from approaching the area where you've placed the repellent.

2. Bayer Blattanex Gel

The next item is Bayer Blattanex Gel, which comes in a convenient gel form. It has been tested in laboratory conditions and found to effectively eliminate cockroaches within 24 hours. It's recommended to have it placed around your house.

Usage: Squeeze a small amount of Bayer Gel onto containers or areas where you frequently encounter cockroaches. Once they detect the scent, they will be attracted to the gel and eventually die.

3. COMBAT

The last item is also a cockroach bait, but it comes in the form of bait stations to prevent direct contact. It is odorless and provides immediate action, causing the cockroaches that accidentally consume it to die within a night.

Usage: Place the COMBAT bait stations horizontally along edges, tables, or corners, where cockroaches are likely to travel. This will make it convenient for them to approach the bait. For optimal effectiveness, it's recommended to replace the bait every 3 months.

That's all for the suggestions from Genie today. While we might think encountering cockroaches is normal and that dealing with them twice would be sufficient, it's actually important to completely eliminate them from our condominiums or houses. The potential risks of diseases associated with cockroaches are not worth it. Genie hopes that this article will be helpful in helping you eliminate cockroaches effectively.
