Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most resilient and persistent pests that exist. Anyone who has ever had to handle a roach infestation can attest to how hard they are to eliminate. They have been around since prehistoric time, and there have been fossils found with their remains from hundreds of millions of years ago. As a species, they have survived an incredible amount, making them particularly hard to exterminate without professional assistance.

Roaches can vary in size and color, but the most common ones are approximately two inches long and some shade of brown. These insects can carry dangerous diseases such as E. Coli and salmonella to your food. They can also cause severe allergic reactions, skin rashes, and digestive problems. Cockroaches are experts at hiding which make them hard to detect unless you know the signs or find them scurrying away in the middle of the night when you turn a light on.
