  I hope u dont come back and ask again whether its ethical to kill virus and bacteria and whether taking antibiotics will also have karmic consequences.

  Getting rid of any pest, is the getting rid of anything that is purposeless, destroying the purposeful. For pests and hence since to infest anything or space that thing or space must be unclean. Therefore, to get rid of pests is like getting rid of sins and it can't be a sin to get rid of sins.

  Correction: For pests and hence sins.
  
  Addition: Pest is harboured where there are sins and uncleanliness.

  Try to do Good things it is know as Prayathicam.
  
  If you want to stop killing Cockroaches first you have to stop them from even spreading.hit it in the start.
  
  if they reproduce you will have a lot more killings.
  
  You get the point.

  Pest is a relative concept....
  
  From human point of view mosquitoes and cockroaches are pests. But god or nature created them, and their living is by blood n filth.
  
  U can put it this way. Most wild animals are carnivorous. It does not mean they commit sin. ITs their nature.
  
  Similarly, breeding in such areas is their nature. HEnce they are pests for us, that does not mean killing them would not cause sin.
  
  any action has equal and opposite reaction.
  
  philosophy and religion strives on this point too.
  
  As far as possible, keep the house neat and surroundings clean. Dont give way for pests.
  
  thats the best way to avoid killing them
