Most people consider this roach to be the one they fear and hate the most. They have the ability to build large numbers in no time at all. In the initial stages, they will be mainly in the kitchen and bathroom areas or near water sources but as they become highly populated they will be in almost any area and can adapt well. Because they build numbers quickly, they have the ability to develop immunity or resistance to common pesticides, especially if they are used over and over again. Heavy infestations will almost always require follow up treatments since some individuals will be able to remain hidden and outlast coming accross treated surfaces until the original materials have broken down.

This is the species of roach most refer to as the waterbug and are common in most of the United States. They are larger wider and darker than the German and in most cases would prefer to be in an outside area that inside. When their numbers become great, or conditions outside become drier and less favorable, they may become a problem inside. They are less likely to get out of hand because of their moisture needs, their larger size and the fact that they do not breed as fast or as successfully.

Treatment for raoches and especially for German cockroaches requires a very thorough application. We need to treat all areas that they can be or hide, which in most cases requires treating inside kitchen and bathroom cabinets, countertop areas, and any area near moisture sources. The customer needs to remove things from all cabinets before we come and store away from those areas, covered with sheets or the like. Several different chemicals are always used, some of which require all people and pets to be out of the structure for several hours.  Read Straight Talk
