German Cockroach Control
Pretty much the worst insect ever. The German cockroach has been around nearly 300 million years. That means that they’ve had plenty of time to evolve and adapt into one of the reviled creatures on Earth. They’ll infest a structure, no matter its size or purpose, and take over. Those millions of years have also allowed them to learn the most efficient way to breed rapidly and survive in some of the harshest conditions.
Why do I have them? There’s no definite rhyme or reason for German roaches to be in your home other than the same reason you live there. They’ll enter a structure, set up shop in secluded, tight areas and venture out during quiet times for food, water and love. They’re usually attracted to grease, meat, starches and sugar-rich items, as well as steamy moist areas. Those reasons are exactly why people end up with roaches in the kitchen over any other area in a home.
How can I prevent this from happening? Depending on various conditions and factors, prevention may be difficult if not impossible. In multi-unit housing, such as condos, townhomes, row houses and apartments roaches can originate in one area of a building and rapidly take over. Discussing a suspected issue with a landlord may prove valuable if you feel the origin is not your unit, as full-building or multi-unit treatment may be necessary. In family homes, the best way to prevent roaches from multiplying quickly is to keep your kitchen neat and tidy. Frequently cleaning stovetops, under as well as inside the fridge, countertops and other appliances are major deterrents for roach invasion. Also, the consideration of keeping attractive products tightly contained will prove useful in prevention.
How do I get rid of them? Well, they may be able to survive nuclear fallout, but we here at Bug Off Pest Control, employ safe and effective state of the art German cockroach control treatments for these roaches with the use of non-invasive products. Our German cockroach control products are effective at eliminating roaches in all stages of life; whereas most store bought “bombs” are only useful on adults (the eggs and nymphs will remain and continue to grow up happy and healthy.) So save your money and give us a call, your wallet and stress level will thank us.
