What time of year are cockroaches most active?
Roaches are very hard to get rid of once they have established themselves in your home. Although roaches are more prevalent in the spring and summer months, they can remain active year-round if the temperature inside is above 50 degrees.
If you suspect that you have an infestation, it is important to contact your local pest control company. If you live in an apartment or condominium, you may want to call your landlord to make sure that he or she is aware of the problem.
When should you call the exterminator?
The longer you wait, the worse the pests. When you see the first signs of an infestation, you should call an exterminator. The worst pests will get worse if you wait a long time to call.
Can Exterminators really get rid of roaches?
If you find a nest of roaches on your property, the best thing to do is to call a pest control company. An exterminator will be able to tackle the problem effectively, getting rid of your roach problem in the shortest amount of time.
Do roaches get worse after treatment?
An infestation may appear to worsen after spraying your home. You will start to see more roaches in your living spaces. The pest control treatment is actually working because you see more roaches after spraying. It takes time before the population of roaches begins to decrease. First, you need to know what kind of roache you’re dealing with.
The most common type is the brown roacher, which is about the size of a pencil eraser. Other common types include the red roaching, yellow roached and the black roACH. If you notice that your house has more of one type than the other, that’s a good sign that it’s time to get rid of them.
Where can I find a cockroach nest?
The most common places for a roach nest in the house are in kitchens or bathrooms, particularly behind refrigerators, in cracks and crevices, and under furniture. Roaches prefer a warm, humid environment so these places should be considered first, especially if they are close to a kitchen or bathroom. Roaches can also be found in basements and crawl spaces.
Why are there suddenly so many cockroaches in my house?
The presence of food available in our homes is the most powerful reason for roaches to show up. Almost anything left out on your kitchen counter is fair game for these insects, and they’ll be back for more.
Cockroach infestations can be caused by a number of factors, but one of the most common is a lack of food in the home. If you don’t have enough food to feed your roaches, they won’t be able to survive.
In these situations, it’s important to make sure that you have a supply of fresh food available at all times.
