The best way to prevent mice from getting to these areas is to keep food in hard-sided containers and cover garbage bins.

Cockroaches are attracted to the smell of food. They're particularly attracted to grease, meat, cheese, sugar, and starch. Any rotten food such as fruits or vegetables puts off a strong odor that attracts the pests as well. Even dirty clothing can be enticing for cockroaches, which is why they're often found in laundry baskets.

Common household remedies like baking soda, garlic and apple vinegar don’t have any effect on fleas.

Always ask your vet if you have any questions.
