Cockroaches are the most reviled and hated insects in the world. No one despises anything with more hatred than the cockroach. Bed bugs and city-destroying rats are nothing compared to a full-blown cockroach invasion. It shakes people to their very nerves and can bring people to a total emotional breakdown. People will try to move houses to escape cockroaches not realizing that they can follow you in your luggage and even in your clothes. They are not something that can be easily treated with domestic poisons and products but if the infestation has just begun and you managed to catch it quickly you may be able to end the infestation with domestic products like silica sand, gel bait and clove oil spray. Things you can get from the supermarket, but only for a small infestation. If it’s a large one or an infestation of a type of cockroach that is harder to kill or harder to find then you will want to call a professional to deal with it. Now professionals will be using a vast array of treatments from Ultra-low volume mists to insecticide dust in wall voids. This process is very effective but can also be relatively expensive depending on your lifestyle and income. A large wealthy family in a big house is just as likely to get cockroaches from their sink full of dirty dishes as an old woman with mobility issues living on her own. Anyone can get them and it’s a matter of your income level that determines if you can call a professional, use domestic baits or like some of the underprivileged people of the world, simply live with them, and the terrible health issues they cause. Respiratory problems can be caused by baby cockroaches going through their moulting phase and cockroaches crawling on your food and food-oriented surfaces will cause horrific food poisoning and will affect young and old people far more violently, possibly leading to botulism or staph. The flakes from the young moulting cockroaches dry and become airborne, covered in feces and everything the cockroaches crawl in, if it gets into your lungs it can aggravate existing respiratory issues or even cause new ones. So if you have cockroaches and the infestation has become unmanageable you should think of calling a professional.
If you are worried you may get cockroaches then there is a very clear reason why. Do you take your garbage out often? Do you seal it tightly in a locking container? Do you wash your recycling before putting it in the blue bin? Do you leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight? Do you often eat outside and fail to clean up the mess because “it’s biodegradable”? Then if cockroaches come there is no one to blame but yourself. Take action before they come. Research them and other pests and prepare your home and your family. Teach your children about hygiene and the effects of leaving a mess or hiding food they do not want to eat. Make sure to train yourself to take the garbage out properly, to clean your recycling and to lock up all food in a tightly tied bag and a strong locked container. If you do all of this, keep your sink clean, keep your home clean of food and your yard clear of food then cockroaches will have little reason to come to your property in the first place. If they have and you do not know why then there is likely an infestation near your home. A neighbour or tenant could have brought them home from a trip or from a visit to another infested home. You could bring them home from a friend’s home who didn’t have the nerve to tell you she has cockroaches. They can come in through the opening, through drain pipes they can invade without you realizing.
So if you have cockroaches and you do not know how to get rid of them call a professional extermination company like The Exterminators. They will be able to get rid of the cockroaches with one treatment, and with a six-month warranty, you will feel safe in knowing that if you see them again in that time you will be able to get the service repeated for free. This is the joy of using a professional company but it does come with a price tag that many people cannot afford.
