Cockroaches are six-legged insects that are common pests that invade homes, restaurants, warehouses, and business establishments. They prefer to reside in warm and damp environments. You will often find cockroaches living in bathrooms, kitchens, basements and dining rooms. They are typically nocturnal creatures that do not like light. When you have a cockroach infestation, flicking a light on in a dark room will send cockroaches scurrying for their hiding spots at record running speed.
New Jersey pest control experts report that cockroaches multiply very quickly. For many species of cockroaches, mating occurs only once and they are pregnant for life! Some species (females only) carry their egg sacks with them until their babies reach maturity, while others deposit their egg cases in cabinets or other out-of-the-way locations. Empty cockroach egg casings are an indication that you have a cockroach infestation in your home or business.
Cockroaches are a stealthy insect that will feed off of most any type of food source that they come across. When food is unavailable, cockroaches will turn to eating odd items like paper that contains glue, toothpaste, and even a bar of soap if they are hungry! Cockroaches are able to go without food for an entire month, but will die within a week if no water is available.
The best way to treat your New Jersey cockroach infestation is to hire a qualified pest control professional with experience in cockroach elimination!
