After a cockroach treatments there are a few things you can do to help reduce the chance of re-infestation:

 

Eliminate access to food

if food sources are removed. Clean up

after meals, don’t leave food out overnight,

empty bins regularly and ensure you store

all food in airtight containers.

will speed up the treatment process.
