Pest Control Roaches
Cockroaches are fascinating creatures that can live for one week without their head, have babies after they are dead, and survive under water for 30 minutes. However, not when you are sharing a living space with them! Cockroaches can be problematic and are one of the most common household pests. Not only are they ugly and bothersome but they are persistent pests that can carry numerous health risks. Roaches can trigger asthma and allergy complications, especially in young children. Roaches generally live outdoors but will move inside if there is a food shortage or climate change. They feed on a variety of foods and move from filth to food resulting in transferring pathogenic microbes. These fast moving insects leave behind droppings and egg capsules. Due to their survival skills and ability to reproduce, it is important to call a professional for help when identifying an infestation. Getting rid of cockroaches can prove to be a very difficult task and best left to a professional. Call Martin Pest for help today!
