Cockroaches: Disgusting, Destructive, and Downright Dangerous
Yeah, they’re gross — but cockroaches also bring some serious problems with them. For starters, they carry bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli on their bodies and in their droppings, which they leave behind on countertops, dishes, and wherever they roam (which is everywhere). That can lead to food poisoning and other nasty illnesses.
On top of that, roach droppings, shed skins, and saliva are major triggers for allergies and asthma — especially in kids and older adults. And they multiply fast — a single female can produce hundreds of offspring. So that “one or two” you saw? Could easily turn into a full-blown infestation in no time.
They also get into everything: behind appliances, inside walls, under sinks — even electronics. And once they’re comfortable, they’re incredibly tough to get rid of without professional help.
Reasons Why Cockroaches Move Into Your Home.
Roaches don’t just show up for the snacks — your home checks all the boxes for their ideal living conditions. Besides food and water, here’s what keeps them coming back:
Warmth & Shelter – Roaches love cozy, dark hiding spots: behind appliances, inside cabinets, in wall voids, under sinks — anywhere quiet and undisturbed.
Clutter – Cardboard boxes, paper bags, stacks of junk mail — all make perfect roach hideouts and even nesting material.
Grease & Crumbs – Even a little cooking grease or food residue around the stove or microwave is like a buffet to them.
Moisture – Leaky pipes, wet rags, and even damp sponges give roaches a water source they can’t resist.
Access Points – Tiny cracks in walls, gaps under doors, and open vents are all like welcome mats for roaches.
Basically, if it’s warm, has crumbs, and offers a good hiding spot, roaches are moving in like they pay rent.
How Do We Serve Them An Eviction Notice?
Getting Ready for Roach Service
Before we arrive, you’ll need to empty out all the kitchen cabinets and drawers so we can treat those areas properly. We’ll be using a mix of sprays, aerosols, and bait to target the roaches where they hide.
Inside, we’ll also treat along all the baseboards and under every sink. Outside, we use a power sprayer to cover up to 30 feet out from the home — and if you have a crawlspace, we’ll treat under there too.
It’s a thorough service designed to knock roaches out at every level!
