The truth about cockroaches!

Have you ever found black grainy droppings or evident of brown skins around your premises??

If yes, then it is a sign of cockroach infestation.

Cockroaches are synonymous with filth and poor hygiene thus they are boon to immune. The cockroach infestation can be a serious problem for everyone in the building, home or commercial. Cockroaches can be identified by their long antennae and legs. Cockroaches are one of the most difficult structural pests to eradicate because they have the ability to hide.

Cockroaches do feed and live in areas where dangerous bacteria, such as bathrooms, drains, and dumpsters. They absolutely love humid and dark places like sewers and garbage disposals, since this is where a lot of food ends up. From these areas, they can pick up food spoilage organisms and human pathogens. The cockroach can be a reservoir for bacteria which includes salmonella, staphylococcus, and streptococcus.

At night they enter into areas where food and water are accessible, like the kitchen and bathroom, and spread diseases they carry on their body, since they run from the light and are nocturnal they may be difficult to see. The cockroach virtually eats everything. Ingested bacteria are the one which can be found in the cockroaches’ digestive system, as they can survive many a time for months or even years, and they are passed in its droppings. Cockroaches will vomit and transfer on food and thus disease may be transmitted to humans when humans eat food contaminated by cockroaches. They become a health risk when they walk on eating utensils.

Wherever cockroaches go they leave behind traces of their existence. Cockroaches infestation include feces, saliva, and the shed parts of their bodies, these parts of cockroach contains specific proteins. When it comes to food, roaches will eat paper and glue thus roaches will eat anything that has nutritional value. They are attracted to food like starch, sugar, grease, meat, and cheese. Decaying and waste food items are delicious for a hungry roach in search of his meal. Cockroaches are very difficult to eradicate.

  • Crack in walls
  • Confined Spaces
  • Furniture items
  • Kitchen
  • Below sinks
  • Gardens

According to the news article,

A cockroach crawled into a Florida woman’s ear. It took nine days to get it out.

The Washington Post, May 5, 2018.

That morning of April 14, around 1:45 a.m., Jordan Holley rushed to the bathroom to help his panicking wife, grabbed a flashlight and looked inside her ear. And there it was, a small part still visible from the outside as it stayed there, lodged in the middle of the ear canal. Jordan Holley managed to pull out a couple of legs using a pair of tweezers, but the intrepid bug had crawled too deep.

The young couple drove to the emergency room just a few miles away. A man sitting behind a desk near the hospital’s entrance saw the look of panic in Katie Holley’s face and asked whether she was in pain. She felt a ‘crawling sensation.’ Doctors found a live cockroach in her skull.
