The cockroach species can spread diseases such as salmonella, typhus, and dysentery. In addition and more common in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, cockroaches can cause allergies and asthma attacks.
Roaches love to eat! Their small, squeeshy bodies make it easy for them to squeeze into small containers where a delicious meal awaits them. Unfortunately, as soon as they come in contact with the food in your pantry or your dog’s kibble they start their contamination process — simply because these little critters are covered in nasty bacteria from crawling around in feces and other nasty waste.
Not only do they contaminate food with their bodies but they also do with their saliva and feces, leading to nasty allergies, asthma attacks, and a sleugh of diseases.
The most common types of cockroaches are the German cockroach, American cockroach, and oriental cockroach.
Cockroaches also bite. And although their bites may not pose any danger to your health, they are enough reason to cause concern. Their allergens set off a chain reaction that creates skin irritation and asthma attacks in people who have allergies or sensitive skin, leading to more serious problems if left untreated.
No one likes to live with cockroaches and to be honest, we don’t like seeing them either. That is why we are quick and efficient with eliminating any infestation that we encounter. Plus, if the roaches come back, so will we, free of charge.
The German cockroach is one of the most common cockroach species in the world. It is found in a wide variety of habitats, from homes and apartment buildings to restaurants and other commercial businesses. The German cockroach is a small, light-brown insect that is typically about half an inch long. It has two dark stripes on its back, which run from its head to its abdomen. The German cockroach is particularly attracted to food sources, such as kitchens and pantries. It is also attracted to warm, moist areas, such as bathrooms and laundry rooms. German cockroaches are capable of reproducing rapidly, and their populations can explode if left unchecked. In addition, German cockroaches can carry a variety of diseases, making them a serious health hazard.
The American cockroach is one of the most commonly found cockroaches in the world. It is also one of the largest, with adults reaching up to 2 inches in length. The American cockroach is dark brown or reddish brown in color, with a light colored band running around its body just behind its head. These cockroaches are primarily scavengers and are often found near sources of food, such as garbage cans or food preparation areas. While they do not typically pose a health threat to humans, they can carry diseases and contaminate food. Although American cockroach bite, they rarely do. If bite occurs, it is not as dangerous but may cause an allergic reaction in some people.
The Oriental cockroach is a large, dark-colored cockroach that is commonly found in the southern United States. Adult Oriental cockroaches are about 1 inch long and have shiny, black bodies.
