Cockroaches for example, food lures cockroaches, and poor facility maintenance such as clutter, left over waste, wet surfaces are cockroach attractants. However, for some pests such as bed bugs occur due to various reasons that not necessarily means your home is old and filthy!

No wonder if keeping your home clean doesn’t mean you will be free of bed bug bites, because bed bugs can be present in a dirty or clean environment – follow and get carried away by the goods you carry or even your own body.
