Hello All,
We're pet lovers with a Black Headed Caique, Sun Conure (2yrs), 2 parakeets (3yrs), rabbit, 2 sugar gliders, 2 golden retrievers. We live in Florida and are having a terrible time with cockroaches. We seem to have gotten off to a bad start with some of these pets and need advice on maintenance/care and control of our situation.
We noticed bugs on top of our bird cages, in the house some time ago, so we created a pet room in our single car garage. The garage has a normal garage door. We used to leave food and water bowls in the cages at night and now see that is a mistake. The cages are cleaned about once a week by rolling them out into the driveway to be hosed down with high pressure spray.
How often do you clean your cages? What sprays or cleaning methods work best? Desperately wanting to get the situation under control. Thanks.
Oh we tried putting the wheels of the bird cages in small tupperware filled with water to keep the roaches out, to no avail. I suspect they fly onto the cages.
