An Overview of Cockroaches

Roaches are flat, oval-shaped, brown in color, fast-running insects. They also have long, slender antennae and a small head that is covered by a shield-like pronotum.

They are nocturnal creatures and thrive in warm conditions where food and water is plentiful, and sanitation is lacking.

There are many cockroach species, but the primary ones infesting Kennewick homes, include American cockroach, German cockroach, brownbanded cockroach and Oriental cockroach.

How They Get Inside Your House

These creatures are pretty resourceful and can enter buildings in several different ways, such as:

  • Moving between apartments through shared walls, ceilings, etc.
  • Crawling inside the house through cracks in the building
  • Through openings around windows, doors, utility openings, and vents
  • Hitchhiking in infested grocery bags, luggage, furniture, cardboard boxes, etc.
  • Cockroaches enter people's homes searching for food and shelter.
  • Unfortunately, they multiply so fast, it leads to a full infestation in no time.
  • To eliminate them, it helps to know where they are hiding. Their preferred locations are dark, warm, and moist areas like the kitchen and bathroom.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

The most obvious sign of an infestation is actually seeing one cockroach. Because cockroaches are nocturnal, you're most likely to see them at night. The problem is, if you spot even one cockroach in your house, chances are there are plenty more hiding.

The second sign is spotting their droppings, which often resemble coffee grounds or pepper. These droppings produce a pheromone that presents itself as an unpleasant musty smell. Dead roaches can also trigger this bad odor.

Roaches are known to be aggressive breeders, meaning you're likely to see their eggs if you have an infestation. They lay eggs in oothecas, which are oblong, brown casings that contain multiple eggs.

Risks of Roach Infestation

These critters move freely from filth to food, meaning they can contaminate food and even transfer dangerous bacteria that can cause illnesses. Secondly, wherever roaches go, they leave behind saliva, feces, and parts of their body, all of which contain allergens that can cause allergies or even trigger asthma symptoms. Lastly, roaches are repulsive to most people, and their mere presence can cause fear, anxiety, lack of sleep, and even panic.

It's clear from the above health risks that if you have a cockroach problem, you need to take care of it as fast as possible. More often than not, people try D-I-Y roach control methods to rid their homes of these unpleasant creatures. But pesticides can be harmful if not used correctly, which is why the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) asks residents to only use pesticides as a last resort.

But whether you have tried to spray them, trap them, or use repellents, you probably have noticed that they keep coming back. Roaches have developed into some of the most adaptable and resilient critters on earth. They are even becoming resistant to common pesticides. This makes it challenging to get rid of them.

Why You Need Croach® to Control Cockroaches

The best solution is to establish cockroach infestation prevention in the first place by cleaning regularly and eliminating any possible food sources. You'll also need to seal any cracks or gaps that they are using to enter your home.

Because roaches are so prevalent, you're bound to deal with an infestation at some point. If that's the case, call a licensed exterminator as they can identify the species and, most importantly, use the proper measures to eradicate them entirely.

At Croach®, our licensed technicians are skilled in cockroach identification, elimination, and management. They will customize an action plan that will not only clear roaches from your Kennewick home but also prevent future infestations. Contact us today for a free inspection!
