American, German & Oriental Cockroaches

When you start to notice pests in your house it is important to have your home treated as soon as possible. There are some pests that cause damage to your home while others can be harmful to your health. A pest that will send you running for cover happens to be the cockroach. They are a pest that no one wants to have around and most people are under that impression that they only come into dirty homes. That is really not the truth in any way. Cockroaches can find what they need to survive in just about any home. There are several types of cockroaches that you might see scurrying around your home. There are American, German and Oriental cockroaches that are found most commonly. They each have their own unique characteristics that make them identifiable. No matter what kind of cockroach you have, if you are seeing them you need to get treatment for the infestation fast. Cockroaches are able to reproduce quickly in quite a short amount of time. They also have been linked to trouble with asthma and allergies. When you have your home treated for cockroaches you want to know what you are going to expect.

 

Eagle Pest Services Outlines What Happens When Your Home is Treated for Cockroaches.

You May See More Cockroaches After Spraying: When you have your home treated for cockroaches there are some people that assume you will never see the pest again. The problem is that is just not the case. Depending on the size of your infestation there can be many cockroaches that need to be treated. They might be hiding around the house and they are not going to be killed until they come in contact with the treatment. The treatment will work over several days which is why you may occasionally see them running around. The other thing that happens to surprise people is the morning after the treatment has been done, especially when dealing with a large infestation, is the number of cockroaches they see dead. The pests don’t disintegrate once they are dead. They have to end up somewhere and many times you will see them near entrances where they have died. Picking up some dead roaches is really a small price to pay to have your home free of these nasty pests.
Practice Cockroach Prevention: You may think that your home is clean but there are still areas that are attracting cockroaches. You want to take some time to look around the house for moisture they might be attracted to. This can be a leaky sink or even water left out for your pet. You also want to be sure that you clean all your dishes and pack up left over food before the end of each day. You also want to be diligent in how you remove garbage from your house. Seal up trash in a bag in a sealed trash container to keep roaches out of your house.
