Few pests have the horrible reputation of cockroaches. Even homeowners who have never encountered them know how filthy they are, how quickly their populations grow, and how incredibly difficult it is to get rid of them. So if cockroaches infest your home, are you prepared to deal with them?
If not, don't worry; Protector Pest Solutions is here to help. As the leading provider of pest control in Cumming, we want to share our knowledge of cockroaches so residents can better protect themselves from potential infestations. Read on to learn more, and don't forget to call Protector Pest Solutions for your roach pest control needs.
What Do Cockroaches Look Like?
As infamous as they are, cockroach identification isn't as easy as one might assume. Beetles and other bugs mistaken for cockroaches share some surface similarities, but a closer look reveals distinct features in different types of cockroaches. These include:
- Flat, oval-shaped bodies that grow up to three inches in length
- Exoskeletons with colors in some shades of yellow, brown, and red
- A pair of long, narrow antennae
If you cannot identify a bug as a cockroach, you can always leave it up to the professionals at Protector Pest Solutions. When you call us for a free inspection, one of our technicians will come to your home to investigate. Once we identify your pest problem, we'll work on designing your custom treatment plan.
How Dangerous Is It To Have Roaches In My Home?
Just because roaches don't attack or feed on humans doesn't mean they aren't dangerous to us. Cockroaches are incredible disease vectors; they expose themselves to hazardous microbes as they travel through unclean places like sewers. They then contaminate the surfaces they touch.
Cockroaches are notorious for spreading diseases like:
- E. coli
- Salmonella
- Typhus
- Staph infections
Eliminating a cockroach infestation in your home is vital to protecting your and your family's health. Protector Pest Solutions will work quickly to enact your custom treatment plan so you can enjoy your home without worry. Our work is guaranteed.
Why Do I Have Roaches And Why Won't They Go Away?
Pests enter our homes purely for survival. When conditions in their natural habitats no longer support them, they'll seek a place where they can easily access food, warmth, and shelter. A home can quickly provide all three.
If you have cockroaches in your home, it means the conditions of it are ideal for their long-term survival. They've found a food source (open trash cans, poorly sealed food, crumbs), water (leaking pipes, standing water, moisture buildup), and a warm habitat to satisfy their needs. Once inside, they're unlikely to leave of their own will. They can survive on very little, so cleaning up after the fact will have little impact on an ongoing infestation.
Protector Pest Solutions can show you what attracts pests to your home and the steps you can take to repel them. Once treatment is complete, you can follow our suggestions to better pest-proof your home and prevent future infestations.
What's The Best Way To Get Rid Of Roaches In My House?
Roaches are challenging to remove because they're adaptive. Cockroach control products don't always work because these insects are developing immunity to typical insecticides. You need knowledge and experience if you want to make your home pest-free.
