BEAVERTON COCKROACH PEST CONTROL
– No Pest Guarantee
Next to ants and rodents, cockroaches are among the most common pests in households and commercial establishments. Their presence is not simply a nuisance—roaches are also known to carry many common diseases and cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. In particular, cockroaches can transmit salmonella and E. coli from one food source to another. A single cockroach can also produce up to 300 eggs in its lifetime. For this reason, cockroach pest control is something every home or business must consider to maintain a safe, clean and healthy living environment.
What Are Cockroaches?
Cockroaches have a three-stage life cycle: egg, nymph, and adult. Nymphs and adults look similar, although nymphs are wingless and generally smaller in size.
Cockroaches are invasive pests with flat, oval-shaped bodies and six legs covered with soft spines. They come in various colors ranging from black, brown, reddish-brown, and light brown. They have a long antenna, usually of the same length as their bodies. Cockroaches may or may not have wings, but those that have them aren’t really great fliers.
COCKROACHES ARE AMONG THE HARDIEST HOUSE PESTS.
You will need professional cockroach pest control if you have a roach infestation.
Cockroaches can be found infesting everything from homes, offices, and restaurants to warehouses, cargo trucks, and even ships and airplanes. They can be introduced in cardboard boxes, cargo or luggage, food items, and even appliances. They usually hide in cracks and crevices and will contaminate and destroy stored food products.
Cockroaches constantly search for food, water, and shelter, so removing all possible food sources or keeping these inaccessible to roaches and other pests is vital.
ARE THERE COCKROACHES IN OREGON?
The quick answer is YES, there are cockroaches in Oregon.
In fact, there are two cockroach species prevalent in the state: the German Cockroach and the Oriental Cockroach. German cockroaches are more common since they’re often found indoors while Oriental cockroaches prefer outdoor living environments.
ARE COCKROACHES IN OREGON DANGEROUS?
Cockroaches are considered dangerous insects as they are responsible for causing a variety of bacteria, diseases, and health problems for people.
And though cockroaches rarely bite humans, in cases of large infestations, bites may occur.
Some of the diseases and infections that cockroaches are known to spread include:
- Dysentery
- E. coli
- Salmonellosis
- Gastroenteritis
The feces, saliva, and shed skins of cockroaches can also trigger allergies and asthma attacks, especially in young children and the elderly. And when they invade, cockroaches contaminate food sources, food prep areas, utensils, bowls, plates, and other surfaces within residential and commercial properties by leaving their saliva and excrement behind.
WHY DO I HAVE COCKROACHES IN MY BEAVERTON HOME?
Most cockroaches are attracted to dark, damp, warm environments that offer them easy access to food and water sources. Our weather in Beaverton easily provides all these. Some common attractants for cockroaches on our properties include leaky pipes or fixtures, open containers of trash, garden areas, pet food bowls, and other animal feeds.
Once on your property, cockroaches will often find their way inside your home or business through openings found in its exterior. These pests are also commonly brought indoors inside boxes and packages, on potted plants or used appliances, inside electronics, or inside used furniture or rugs.
SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT A COCKROACH INFESTATION?
Roaches enter homes in search of food, water, and shelter. Once they have infested an area, they can multiply quickly, posing a threat to your comfort and health. It is important to get rid of cockroaches before an infestation occurs. Roaches are known to carry bacteria that can result in food poisoning, diarrhea, allergies, and skin rashes. In large numbers, they can also produce a foul odor.
Cockroaches will never stop trying to get into your home for food, water, and shelter. And since they’re nocturnal creatures adept at hiding, a roach infestation can get out of hand before you ever realize cockroaches are in your home.
