Here in Georgia, with the high humidity levels, cockroaches are bound to enter and infest structures. Available food and water has a direct impact on the size of infestation but are not necessarily the cause. Cockroaches are particularly sensitive to drying. So it is important to reduce moisture by installing our sani-dry basement and crawl air system, repair cracks and leaks, improve drainage with our rain chutes and proper caulking.
Cockroaches bring all sorts of problems into your home. As if having to live with these filthy, disturbing creatures isn't bad enough, they also bring high levels of pathogenic bacteria and fungi, such as Salmonella, which can easily pass to humans through foods and surfaces they touch and contaminate.
They can survive on nearly any food source available, including food crumbs, glue, hair, grease, or even other dead cockroaches.
In addition to bringing viruses and bacteria into the home, cockroaches can also bring allergens into your home. Cockroach saliva, feces, eggs, outer covering, and the bodies themselves are all allergenic to humans and especially to those with asthma or respiratory conditions, according to the USDA. Studies have shown that the allergens can linger long after the cockroaches have been eliminated and removed, causing them to leave behind health-compromising allergens that can remain in your home for years.
According to Science World, as many as 500 new cockroaches can come from a single roach pair! Once they are established, they have 350 million years of adaptation and evolution keeping the cockroach infestation alive and well in your home.
Our once a year pest control service will cover all points of entry for these pest, eliminating and preventing infestation in your structure and home.
