Roaches are hardy, adaptable insects that can survive almost anywhere and thrive in Houston's environment. Roaches are also highly social insects that prefer to live in large groups. Although this is good for roaches, it's bad for you and your home. Roaches constantly explore their environment and will explore your home sooner or later. When they find a place that they like — and they will absolutely love your home — they will promptly move in. Once established, they will immediately begin breeding fast. What starts as a small roach infestation will grow quickly, and you can find yourself surprised when you realize that you have an advanced infestation in your home.
All-Safe Pest & Termite professionals have the skills and experience you need. We know how to get rid of cockroaches in your house. Call today, and let us be your Houston pest control experts.
How Do I Tell If It's Cockroaches In My House?
Cockroach infestations are easy to identify if you know what to look for. Here are some ways to tell if you have cockroaches in your home:
- You find droppings. Cockroaches tend to foul areas where they feed. If you find droppings near food, this is a good indication of roaches.
- You find egg cases. Cockroach egg cases are very distinctive. Once you find one of these, you know for certain that you have roaches in your home.
- You find roaches. Finding a cockroach in your house is an obvious sign you have roaches. You don't have to find a live one; even a dead roach is a dead giveaway.
- You see stains on your walls. Roach droppings on walls and ceilings look like dark stains.
These are some of the signs of roaches you may see in your home. If you see them, you need to call us. All-Safe Pest and Termite can help you get rid of cockroaches.
How Dangerous Are Cockroaches?
Cockroaches don't bite or sting, but that does not mean that roach infestations are not potentially dangerous. Roaches like exploring dirty, filthy things like sewers, garbage piles, and carcasses, exposing them to bacteria and pathogens like salmonella, listeriosis, giardia, and E. coli. When roaches later come into your home, they can bring these things with them. You don't have to handle them to potentially contract diseases. All roaches have to do to spread these things is to simply crawl across your counters, your dinnerware, your stored food, or your furniture. You can come into contact with these things later simply by doing what you always do.
Cockroach control is critical if you want to ensure your health and safety. Do not worry, however. All-Safe Pest & Termite knows how to get rid of cockroach infestations. Contact us today, and let us help you.
How Can I Prevent Cockroaches From Getting Inside My Home?
Here are some tips for keeping cockroaches out of your home:
- Keep garbage sealed. Unsealed waste is highly attractive to roaches.
- Clean up clutter. Roaches love hiding in clutter. Less clutter; fewer roaches.
- Seal your home. Roaches will exploit any and all ways to get into your home.
- Keep your house clean. A clean home will discourage cockroaches, and all other pests, too.
Following these tips can help, but they won't guarantee that roaches will stay away. If you find yourself trying to deal with cockroaches, call All-Safe Pest & Termite. We know how to get rid of cockroaches in Houston.
