Cockroaches. Quite possibly the world’s most despicable bug.

Home remedies provide only temporary relief, but a cockroach exterminator and pest control company can keep these nasty bugs from taking you’re your home.

About Cockroaches

Cockroaches are nocturnal. So, if you see one, chances are very high that there are many more that you have not seen. In fact, seeing a cockroach during the day can indicate a severe infestation and can mean some cockroaches have been forced out because of overcrowding. If you are seeing cockroaches wandering around your home during the day, it’s a sign that you should call us immediately, as we are one of the leading cockroach exterminator and pest control companies in the greater Richmond, Newport News, and Williamsburg areas.

Need another reason to call us? Roaches leave chemical trails in their feces, which attracts other roaches as they are trying to discover new food and water sources. So, if you have cockroach problem now, it’s only going to get worse by next week.

The most common type of cockroach that we see is the German Cockroach. It’s a pale, yellowish brown color with dark stripes on the front. This type of roach is the smallest, most numerous, and most destructive cockroach that we see. They are typically drawn to restaurants and kitchens, but can live in bathrooms, crawl spaces, basements, foundations, porch crevices, and walkways. They are scavengers that love to feed on a variety of foods and decaying matter and are best eliminated by a cockroach exterminator and pest control company.

Cockroaches are a Health Hazard

Cockroaches are not only unsightly, but also have many negative consequences for human health because certain proteins (called allergens) found in cockroach feces, saliva, and body parts can cause allergic reactions or trigger asthma symptoms, especially in children.

That’s not all. Cockroaches can contaminate food with many different diseases, making humans sick. The dust created by cast-off cockroach skins, dead bodies and droppings can especially aggravate allergies and trigger asthma attacks in children and sensitive individuals. Cockroaches have been implicated in the spread 33 kinds of bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella species, six parasitic worms and more than seven other types of human pathogens.
