However, certain myths persist and can hinder effective elimination. In this article, we debunk five common beliefs about cockroaches and explain what you really need to do to eradicate them from your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u00abI clean and I can handle it myself\u00bb \u2014 no, not always. A well-established infestation requires more than just a quick wipe-down.\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #59a859; font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1. If I don't see <span class=\"ep-green\">None<\/span> roach, I'm chill\u00bb<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">False. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in cracks, under appliances, or behind baseboards. According to the CAA-Quebec guide, seeing a cockroach in broad daylight often indicates an advanced infestation. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caaquebec.com\/fr\/conseils\/entretenir-une-residence\/guides\/guide-des-insectes-nuisibles\/la-coquerelle-blatte?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #59a859; font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2. \u00abThe <span class=\"ep-green\">simple<\/span> Cleaning alone is enough to eliminate cockroaches\u00bb<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hygiene is essential, but generally insufficient. As indicated by the Montreal Municipal Housing Office, proper preparation of the home is crucial before professional treatment.

Professional companies emphasize the need for comprehensive treatment, as recommended by Terminix Canada in Montreal.

The investigation at the CHSLD in Montreal confirms this.
