How To Get Rid Of Cockroaches - Major Pest Control Company

The scientific name of the German cockroach is Blattella germanica. Adults are 13 to 16 mm in length, while immature cockroaches may be a few millimeters in length. They are light brown to tan in color, have elongated, wide, flattened bodies, possess six legs and two long antennae, and lack the ability to fly. As omnivorous scavengers, German cockroaches feed on nearly anything but prefer foods with a high content of sugar, starch, or oils. Within homes and other structures, German cockroaches infest in areas that provide sources of food, moisture, and warmth, such as within and around household appliances, kitchens, bathrooms, under sinks, dishwashers, pantries, storage closets, and medicine cabinets.

Cockroach infestations create unsanitary conditions that can pose threats to human health. Consuming cockroach-contaminated foods may cause food poisoning while exposure to cockroach feces is linked to negative health effects, especially in individuals with asthma. As cockroaches crawl through garbage and sewers and onto kitchen countertops, they may spread harmful bacteria such as coliforms, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Once cockroaches have invaded the home, elimination is extremely challenging. They have the ability to survive in the absence of food and water. Cockroach eggs are protected from insecticides by an egg case which means that even when you kill adults, newly hatched cockroaches are ready to replace them. The only way to achieve complete eradication of a cockroach infestation is by employing the services of a trusted and reputable professional pest control company, like Major Pest Control.
