Tại Sao Gián Thích Căn Hộ Ở Sài Gòn
Saigon’s heat and humidity create the perfect breeding ground for cockroaches. Add in the abundance of food from street vendors, markets, and your own cooking, and it’s no surprise they feel right at home. Apartments, especially older ones or those near wet markets, can be hotspots for these pests. But with a few smart strategies, you can reclaim your space.
Bước 1: Giữ Cho Căn Hộ Của Bạn Sạch Sẽ
Cockroaches are drawn to food, water, and clutter. The cleaner your apartment, the less inviting it is for them. Here’s how to start:
-
Sweep and mop daily
: Crumbs and spills are a cockroach buffet. Focus on the kitchen and dining areas.
-
Take out the trash regularly
: Don’t let garbage sit overnight—cockroaches love a good rummage. Use bins with tight lids.
-
Wash dishes immediately
: Dirty plates in the sink are an open invitation.
-
Store food properly
: Keep snacks, rice, and leftovers in sealed containers, not open bags.
Bước 2: Cắt Đứt Nguồn Nước Của Chúng
In a humid city like Saigon, water is everywhere—but you can still make your apartment less appealing:
-
Fix leaks
: Check under sinks and around pipes for drips. Cockroaches need water to survive.
-
Wipe down surfaces
: After cooking or washing dishes, dry countertops and sinks.
-
Avoid standing water
: Empty pet bowls or plant trays overnight.
Bước 3: Đóng Chặt Các Điểm Ra Vào
Cockroaches sneak in through tiny gaps. Inspect your apartment and block their paths:
-
Check walls and floors
: Use caulk to seal cracks, especially near baseboards or pipes.
-
Close gaps around doors and windows
: Weather stripping or door sweeps work wonders.
-
Cover drains
: Use drain stoppers in the kitchen and bathroom when not in use.
Bước 4: Sử Dụng Các Chất Xua Đuổi Tự Nhiên
If you’re not keen on harsh chemicals, try these local tricks:
-
Bay leaves
: Place them in cupboards or corners—cockroaches hate the smell.
-
Cucumber slices
: Leave them near problem areas; they’re a natural deterrent.
-
Pandan leaves
: A common plant in Vietnam, its scent repels roaches. You can find it at local markets.
Bước 5: Mang Vào Bẫy Và Mồi
For stubborn infestations, traps and baits are your next line of defense:
-
Sticky traps
: Place them under appliances or in dark corners to catch roaches and monitor the problem.
-
Gel baits
: Available at supermarkets like Co.opmart or Bách Hóa Xanh, these attract and poison cockroaches. Apply small dots in hidden spots, away from kids and pets.
