Effective Cockroach Control Solutions to Protect Your Home or Business
Cockroaches are among the world’s most adaptable pests, with over 4,000 species globally and several that are common threats in North America. Restaurant owners and property managers should watch for the most prevalent types: the German cockroach, American cockroach, brown-banded cockroach, oriental cockroach, smoky-brown cockroach, and Australian cockroach.
Cockroaches are nocturnal and prefer damp environments, making them hard to spot. However, if you see one, it may signal a larger hidden infestation. They often cluster around food and water sources, hiding in moist spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
More than just unpleasant, cockroaches are known carriers of bacteria and diseases like salmonella and can trigger allergic reactions, especially in children with asthma. Their droppings can exacerbate respiratory issues and may increase asthma symptoms.
If you notice any signs of cockroaches, acting quickly is crucial. Contact a licensed pest control professional to assess the infestation and identify the specific cockroach type for effective, targeted treatment.
