Cockroach Identification
Why Do I Have a Cockroach Problem?
Simply put, you have a cockroach problem because your property offers them food, shelter, or moisture. Like any living thing, cockroaches prefer areas that supply them with their basic needs. Things like open trash containers, leaky pipes, excessive moisture, crumbs, and spills, are all things cockroaches will use to their advantage. Once inside your home, cockroaches are difficult to control and eliminate. They hide in out-of-the-way areas and breed quickly.
Where Will I Find Cockroaches?
Heat and humidity attract our area’s most common cockroaches. Both German and American cockroaches live successfully inside of our homes and businesses. German cockroaches are mainly indoor pests, and American cockroaches regularly move indoors while searching for food or better living conditions.
Some of the most common areas you will find cockroaches living inside of any home or business include:
- Basements
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms
- Crawlspaces
- Utility rooms
- Laundry rooms
- Attics
