Take my case, I wake up one day, get ready, eat my breakfast. I look out the window, it&#8217;s a sunny day and I decide to do the laundry. I dump my clothes in the washer, put in the powder, close the lid and push Start\u2026. I.. push \u201cStart\u201d.. Sta&#8230;aa\u2026..art. Nothing! <br><br>Cut down to a couple of hours later, the service technician gives me his diagnosis; bunch of cockroach eggs on the main circuit-board components caused a short circuit! I had to shell out 5 Grands (in rupees of course) for a new circuit board. That&#8217;s 40% of the washing machine cost! and how much do one spend on pest control? once these chemical based solution wears out Mr. cockroach be like \u201cI am back\u201d for another round of termination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-normal-font-size\">Not only these pest control methods are ineffective in the long run, they smell so harsh and irritates your nostrils, a chemical hazard by themselves. Once I used \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.godrejhit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hit<\/a>\u201d spray hoping to get rid of them and all that happened? I ran away and didn\u2019t enter my room for a couple of days.
