Cockroaches Control
Cockroaches are never a welcome sight. With dark-brown or reddish-brown bodies, these insects can reach 1.5 inches in length depending on the species. They’re also resourceful hiders, stowing away in dark places and crawling out unexpectedly. With long, flat bodies, they’re skilled at accessing food containers and sliding through small cracks.

Common Cockroaches Issues
Cockroaches carry harmful bacteria and tend to stay in filthy places. They can quickly contaminate food and surfaces, and their fecal matter can aggravate allergies and asthma. Plus, if an infestation is serious enough, it can produce a repugnant odor that fills your entire home or building.
Cockroaches Threats
Cockroaches tend to hang around in filthy places, picking up harmful bacteria as they crawl. When the pests step foot in your home, these bacteria can contaminate food and surfaces. Their fecal matter can trigger allergies and asthma, and a serious infestation can produce an unpleasant odor that emanates throughout your entire home or building.
Detecting Cockroaches
Spotting a cockroach in your home is the first sign that you may have a problem. These pests prefer dark, warm spaces and may be found in basements, sinks, bathtubs, crawlspaces and electrical areas. Keep an eye out for pepper-like excrement, skin casts and empty egg capsules along your floors or cabinets.
Preventing Cockroaches
Preventing these pests starts with sealing entry points and eliminating attractants. Be sure to store food in sealed containers, take out the trash on a regular basis and keep your space clean by vacuuming frequently. Spills should be cleaned up quickly after they occur, and make sure your basement is not overly humid. In addition, caulk cracks around doors and windows, install weather stripping on doors and repair tears in screens.
