Columbia Cockroach Control

What to Know About Cockroaches

Cockroaches are disturbingly prolific breeders and can have up to 350,000 offspring. These insects also have a lengthy history of spreading diseases such as salmonella and E. coli, and recently, their allergens were named one of the leading triggers of asthma attacks in children. Plus, they leave gross feces wherever they go. But what causes cockroaches to invade your home in the first place? While you may know that food, water, moisture, and shelter is what attracts these pests, you may be unaware of how they are getting into your property. To best protect your Columbia home from a possible infestation, we recommend learning more about how roaches get in.

How Do Cockroaches Get In the House?

• Through your drains and piping
• Through small holes or cracks in the foundation or walls of your home
• Through openings in your doors and windows
• Through any firewood or cardboard boxes you keep in the house
• Through your home’s air ducts and vents

What Does a Cockroach Bite Look Like?

Unfortunately, cockroaches do bite, although it's uncommon. Sometimes this can be indicative of a large infestation, because the cockroaches may be short on food. Their bites are usually singular and appear larger than a bed bug bite. The bites will usually appear at night, due to their nocturnal nature. Common biting places are around the face, feet, and hands.

How to Prevent Cockroaches

The first step to effective pest management is defining the factors which limit the reproduction and survival potential of each pest. For instance, removing the food, water, and shelter of pests has a very significant impact on controlling pest populations by itself. Coupled with appropriate chemical control measures, a longer lasting, more significant impact is made. This is where our knowledge, training, and years of experience can help identify and administer the appropriate actions to maximize your cockroach extermination service in Columbia.

What Can You Do to Prevent Cockroaches

• Regularly clean your home and always properly put away food
• Empty the trash every day
• Vacuum the kitchen floor to get rid of crumbs
• Seal cracks and holes around your property
• Remove things roaches could potentially use as shelter, such as unused carboard and paper
