Roach Extermination |
|
Cockroaches can infest any home, no matter how clean it may be. But all roaches, no matter the type, need a food source, certain humidity levels, warmth, and places to hide. Keeping food in sealed containers, not living pet food out, and always placing lids on your garbage cans may help curb the problem. But they can go for a month without food, although they only survive a week without water. |

People can be allergic to cockroaches, especially anyone with a sensitivity to dust. This allergic reaction can cause skin rashes and even asthma. It is not the roaches themselves, but their feces, saliva, eggs, and shed outer coverings that tend to cause the allergic reaction. 7.5% of people without other allergies developed rashes when exposed, and 60% of people with asthma were allergic to roaches. Even those with no allergy to cockroaches may become ill when exposed to the bacteria or fungus that travel from the roaches to contaminate food. They can even cause diseases such as salmonella, staphylococcus, and strep. For all these reasons, a cockroach infestation is more serious than just a pesky problem, and should be dealt with by professionals immediately.

Although you can handle roach extermination yourself, it is better to call in the professionals, especially since some roach extermination methods eliminate beneficial insects that prey on other pests. Also, it is very difficult to kill roaches - they are assumed to be the only species that would survive a nuclear holocaust - and the more ferocious chemicals needed should be handled by people who know how to use them safely. |
