It's often said that if human civilization were to fall, roaches would inherit rulership over the world. Whether that's true or not, you don't have to let them take control of your home! Although, yes, roaches are incredibly prolific and resilient creatures, all things considered, there are plenty of proven prevention measures you can put in place. If it's too late for that, don't worry—there's still hope. In this post, we'll outline all the types of roaches that seek to usurp control of your home, along with the best ways to get rid of them and prevent them from finding their way inside ever again.
Cockroaches of all types are attracted to your home because of its plentiful supply of food, water, warmth, and shelter. Although it may seem impossible to differentiate the specific species of each pest, there are some key distinctions in their appearance and habits that can help you identify which one poses a problem in your case.

All of the dangerous pathogens associated with such activities will be carried from their legs, into your home, and eventually onto your food. These pests will prove difficult to remove completely due to their prolific reproduction cycle, so prevention is of the utmost importance.
As is the case with most pests, cockroaches find their way into Houston homes in search of food, water, and shelter. They are especially attracted to dark, damp, secluded areas such as under cabinets, behind large appliances, near plumbing, or inside walls. Roaches are stealthy insects, able to slip into many openings that look innocuous to human eyes. Although it can seem impossible to keep them out, there are a few things you can do, such as:
In the end, if you see one cockroach, there are likely many more lurking behind your walls and hiding in the cracks and crevices of your home. For ongoing professional guidance, it's best to partner with a pest control professional.
