Look for mold around leaky pipes in the kitchen cabinets. Look for mice and cockroaches in and around the kitchen.
Install cockroach gel bait under the sink.
Avoid leaving out food or garbage inside the home. Clean-up all crumbs after cooking and eating.
Use plastic containers to hold cereal, rice, sugar and other foods that might attract cockroaches.
Use poison baits or traps.
Avoid chemical sprays and treatments unless they are done while you and your child are away from home for a few hours after the treatment.
