Cockroaches

The resilience of cockroaches is no secret. Cockroaches have been around since prehistoric times, and scientists have found them in fossils that are hundreds of millions of years old. It’s no surprise that they’re hard to control without professional help.

Cockroaches can vary somewhat in size and color, but the most common cockroaches will be about two inches long and brown or reddish brown in color. Beyond being a nuisance, cockroaches pose major health risks to you and your family. They can transfer E. Coli and salmonella to your food, which then cause serious illnesses. They have also been shown to cause severe allergic reactions, skin rashes, and digestive problems. As good as they are at hiding, you might not even realize your home has a cockroach problem until you start seeing them yourself.
