Cockroach

Cockroaches are slim and can access your home through small cracks in your rook or walls, roof and laundry vents, and up your plumbing and sewer drains. These are places that most people don’t think about when trying to kill roaches on their own. Yet, the best defense against cockroaches is to prevent them from your home in the first place by keeping your kitchen and garbage areas clean. In some cases, where large infestations are involved, cleaning alone may not entirely solve the problem.

 

Signs of an Investation

  • Cockroaches are seen during the day

  • Presence of cockroach feces

  • Strong oily or musty odor

  • Bodies of dead cockroaches

  • The sight of oval-shaped egg cases

  • Cast skins

 

  • A home is a perfect environment for cockroaches. They have access to warmth, water, and food along with plenty of places to hide a nest. This is where cockroaches can wreak havoc on your property because unchecked, roaches will multiply without you even being aware of it. This is why it is so important to take professional action at the first site of cockroaches in your home or business.

    This is extremely important for businesses. If your business is food processing and service, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or any sort of hospitality you need to keep roaches out.

  • The length of time it takes to rid your home of a cockroach infestation depends largely upon the species and the size of the infestation. Many over-the-counter products homeowners utilize often prove ineffective against a cockroach infestation. These pests are extremely adaptable and may even be resistant to some home extermination methods.
