With their stubborn survival instinct, it’s become a popular joke that cockroaches would be the only life form to survive a nuclear blast. While Allison Pest Control’s methods don’t go to those extreme, eliminating termites is a difficult task that requires the help of professional exterminators.
Cockroaches are opportunistic feeders, lured by any substance consumed by humans. They enter buildings through the smallest openings and once indoors they tend to nest close to water and food supplies, meaning kitchens and bathrooms are prime locations. Cockroaches are primarily nocturnal, but a daylight sighting indicates the likelihood of a substantial-sized nest.
Food contamination is not the most serious risk posed by cockroaches. They are known carriers of bacteria, such as salmonella and dysentery that affect the digestive system, and other pathogens that cause upper respiratory ailments like allergies and pulmonary disease.
People often resort to foggers, or “bug bombs,” for cockroach control, believing that the fog will permeate into cracks, crevices and other inaccessible areas where these pests are likely to be found. Unfortunately, the foggers can end up causing more harm to humans than the cockroaches. Incidents range from pesticide exposure to explosions or fires triggered by proximity to gas stoves. Our pest control technicians are trained in safe and effective methods to thoroughly eliminate cockroaches.
