German and American Cockroaches are some of the most infamous, and Oriental Cockroaches are on the rise in California.They are known to spread bacteria that causes Salmonella, Poliomyelitis, and more. They are on a constant mission for food, crawling along your kitchen counter, getting into your fruit basket or pantry, leaving disease-ridden bacteria behind every step of the way. Roaches also carry a vile smell on them, which builds as more gather on your property.

 

The National Institutes of Health says cockroaches are one of the most common sources of allergens found indoors in the world. People with asthma and eczema can experience flair-ups of their conditions when they come in contact with cockroaches. One of the biggest problems is that you don’t even have to see the bug to experience its negative impact. As the cockroaches wander around your home or office, they leave behind hard pieces of shell that combine with dust in the air and are distributed around the rooms through air conditioning vents. That allergen affects as much as 85% of children’s bedrooms, according to The National Center for Biotechnology Information.

 

Cockroaches are notoriously difficult to control. They are speedy, can survive without food or water for extended periods, are adept at hiding, and breed very quickly. They can even live headless for up to a week. One German Cockroach lays 50 eggs at a time, seven times throughout a 5-month lifespan. Trying to kill them one by one won’t make a dent in an infestation. They require a full arsenal of pest control techniques to be eliminated, and then to prevent their return.
