Did you know that cockroaches inhabit all 7 continents? Including Antarctica! With their hard exoskeltons, they can not only survive, but thrive in just about any climate.

Out of over 5,000 different species of roaches, roughly 30 species have decided to co-exist with humans.

Commonly referred to as Palmetto Bugs, cockroaches also love water, we’ll check under your sinks, and around your home or business for water leakage to ensure that your are not unintentionally providing a haven for roaches. Cockroaches don’t bite, however they do carry some nasty bacteria that can infect your food.

Roaches multiply faster than Archimedes, which is another reason do it yourself roach treatments are so ineffective.

  • You may see smear marks. If you have water leaks, cockroaches will produce brown and irregular shaped smear marks around the area where the water is.
  • You may see skin that has been shed by the roaches has they mature into adulthood. 
  • You may smell an unusual odor. If the cockroaches have established an infestation they may produce an unpleasant musty smell..
  • You may see live cockroaches scurrying around in your bathrooms and kitchen. You might see them when you turn on the light in the kitchen when you go looking for a midnight snack.

Cockroaches live all around your home or office. They love your bathrooms. They will hide in and behind cabinets, under your sink, or toilet. They love to eat soap residue, toilet paper, and tissues. Kitchens are probably their favorite spot in the whole house! Cupboards, cabinets, under the kitchen sink, behind the dishwasher, and under the stove. So many fun places to hide! Laundry Rooms make for a nice warm & cozy spot to hide. The hidden crevices, and warmth from the washer & fryer make this a great place to stay. Cracks or gaps in your baseboards are a one of the best places cockroaches can hide. They love it when you store paper or cardboard, they snack on the paper, and can make a home out of it too. Drains and pipe ducts make it easy for cockroaches to make their way into your home or business. Call us today for a pest inspection.

Preventing Cockroaches

Your home or business could potentially be an ideal breeding ground cockroaches. There are many ways that roaches can gain access to your home or business. They can get in through cracks, crevices, vents, sewers and pipe drains. Denying cockroaches access to shelter, water and food is the most effective way to prevent them from moving into your business or home.  Eliminate all food sources by storing food in tightly sealed containers or sealed plastic bags and do not leave food sitting out on counters. Do not leave open containers or water around your home or office. Make sure your counters and floors are food free. Wipe down counters, and sweep floors daily. If your pets are on constant feeders, put them away at night. Throw out newspapers and cardboard as soon as possible. Caulking entry points and sealing cracks will deny access to cockroaches.

Roaches or palmetto bugs are very common especially living in Florida. While an unkempt home or office can contribute to a roach infestation, more often than not, the hot, humid, damp weather which is something we all live with in Land O Lakes, is one of, if not the biggest contributors when you find cockroaches in your home or business.
