Cockroach control
Cockroaches are not only undesirable pests but a threat to human health by consuming our food and contaminating the indoor environment.
Cockroaches and Health Concerns
Cockroaches are known to transfer disease pathogens, such as the various bacteria that produce “food poisoning” in humans, by contaminating food, food preparation surfaces, dishes and eating utensils.
The roach’s greatest impact on human health may be its ability to trigger asthma. Cockroach nymphs grow by periodically shedding their “skin” (the exoskeleton). Fragments of their exoskeletons, along with bits of cockroach feces, serve as antigens (foreign protein) that, when inhaled, cause allergic and asthmatic reactions.
What To Look For
Several species of cockroaches live inside homes and commercial buildings. All are primarily nocturnal and prefer warm, moist places where they can feed on human and pet foods, decaying and fermenting matter, and a variety of other items.
The German cockroach is the most common roach found in kitchens. It is a half-inch long, bronze-colored insect that avoids light and hides in cracks and crevices. Adults and older nymphs have two black stripes on the back just behind the head.
