What damage do cockroaches cause and why are they a dangerous pest?
Although cockroaches are known to feed on food and garbage, these are not their only foods. Fabrics and papers, among others, are part of their diet.

However, the main damages they cause are not those affecting property. But those that harm the health of people and pets.
Fumigation of cockroaches is key to avoid health damages caused by cockroaches
Cockroaches do not bite or sting. And yet, they are among the insects that cause the most damage to the health of people and pets.

And not only by its passage, by simple contact with food that is then ingested by people or animals. Also through their vomit, saliva and feces, which can then come into contact with humans and pets.
These germs generate diseases that can be very dangerous for human beings.

The initial inspection is key for professionals to determine the best choice of anti-roach treatment. The aim is both lethality of cockroaches and respect for the environment.

Ecological baits

This modern treatment, besides being very effective, is compatible with the habitability of the house, and the company in the case of being dedicated to the food industry or hospitality.
They are applied at strategic points and their presence is also monitored by pheromone traps to calculate the level of infestation in each case and to establish improvements in another visit to coincide with the egg hatching phase.
Fogging with Biocides
This shock treatment is mainly used for very high infestation levels, or when cockroach resistance to other products is more than evident.
It must be taken into account that a 12-hour security period is required, during which no access to the property will be allowed and no activity can be carried out if it is a company.
The expansion of the anti-roach biocide will reach areas that are difficult to access, attacking larvae, nymphs and adults.

Do cockroaches enter from the street?
When we refer to large cockroaches we are referring to the “Periplaneta americana” species. This species lives and breeds inside the sewage system, manholes, inside walls, ceilings and others. When temperatures rise, they look for an exit to the outside and it is very possible to observe them in the streets and that they enter the houses or premises through a window. But …. is not always like this.
When we find cockroaches inside our homes quite frequently…daily or several days in the same month…. Is it not a coincidence that all of them enter from the street or outside? Actually, their access can be inside our homes or premises. They enter through the sewage system and in turn inside walls with ventilation chambers, sockets, electrical registers or door frames, among others.
Noises in plaster ceiling, are they cockroaches?
We often get calls from customers with cockroach problems in ceilings. Specifically, the species in question is Periplaneta americana. This species proliferates inside manholes and gains access to homes through pipes or sewage systems.
How do cockroaches gain access to the inside of ceilings? Cockroaches take advantage of holes near downspouts to access plaster walls and ceilings.
What is the solution to eliminate cockroaches in ceilings? It is necessary to disinsect the plaster ceilings and the sewage system of our house. Disinfestation is highly recommended to be performed by a specialist or pest control company. In cases of cockroaches in ceilings, there are risks of electrical hazards.
Home remedies for cockroaches: Are they effective?
There are several influencing factors, such as the level of infestation, number of nests, suspicions, etc. For example, home remedies to improve a cold can be useful, but sometimes we end up resorting to medicine. Because our body, or the virus that invades us, can respond in different ways.
Depending on the level of infestation, degree of dissemination or resistance to home remedies may be one of the many factors that keep some cockroaches from disappearing, with the many remedies that exist. They have the capacity to adapt and if our home offers multiple factors to keep them safe… they will take advantage of them.
In the case of the insecticide sprays available on the market, they tend to disperse the existing pest rather than kill it. This is because the most common active ingredient in these insecticides (pyrethroids) acts on the nervous system of insects, causing extreme agitation before final paralysis (death). But, for this we should spray on all cockroaches, however… this does not always happen. Because of the eviction effect produced, many escape… (and end up making secondary nests).
Is it possible to fumigate cockroaches without chemicals?
To finish with the cockroaches without chemicals, but it can be of great help and in many occasions where the problem is not of great dimensions, we can solve it perfectly. Install a siphon in washbasins or sinks. Cockroaches will not be able to gain access because of the water found in the siphon.
Seal door and window frames.”By sealing these places with silicone or polyurethane foam, we prevent them from entering our homes”. Thoroughly check broken tiles in toilets or kitchens to replace them or seal them.Any hole can be good for a cockroach to access our house.
Although these techniques prevent the entry of cockroaches, in some cases it is necessary to “disinsect the sewage system to lower the population density and control the massive entry of cockroaches into the house”: expert assistance is essentialIf you have any questions, your advice will help us avoid major headaches when it comes to getting rid of the pest.
Boric Acid To Kill Cockroaches, Is It Effective?
Many customers tell us about this method. Boric acid with sugar or condensed milk. It is true that this method has been effective for quite some time. The cockroach is attracted to the sugar and when it ingests the product it is poisoned.
However, it should be clarified that this method would eliminate an entire colony only under certain circumstances. One of them is when the level of the pest is relatively low, since in the case of a high level of affection, the cockroaches end up rejecting the ingestion of sugar contained in condensed milk. We recommend much better the use of gel for cockroaches for domestic use. It does not disperse the cockroaches, they consume it and move it to the nest.
How to choose a pest control company?
We provide services in the province of Huelva, but, of course, we also like our customers to be completely satisfied and from the first moment we believe that one of the most important factors is the company that transmits security and tranquility.
Therefore, in your assessment and explanation of the solution to your cockroach problem, you must be clear and concise.
The price of the service must be within an understandable range. It is common to find very low prices. In this regard, we recommend you to read our post on how to choose budgets.
Do cockroaches appear after treatment and for how long?
In all treatments it is very common to find dead cockroaches in the days following the treatment. Depending on the initial level of infestation, the highest number of cockroaches will generally be found in the following days.
In our experience there are usually 10 to a maximum of 20 and this number decreases to 1 or 2 for the next few days.
Will I have a cockroach infestation again after fumigation?
In any treatment the idea is to reduce the infestation as much as possible. In small cockroach (Blattella Germanica) treatments, the existing nests will disappear and no other cockroach of this species will enter our home.
We should not have problems again, however we must be very careful with food purchases made in supermarkets. Sometimes we infect the kitchens with the entry of food packages, fruits, vegetables purchased in supermarket chains. (Everything will depend on luck, but the current problem will of course disappear).
In the case of Cucaracha Grande or Periplaneta americana we will not have the same luck, this cockroach is lodged inside walls or pipes of our building and the total disappearance can be more complicated, but not impossible.
90% of our customers see a very favorable reduction. For example: In cases of having 4 or 5 cockroaches per day, to have only 1 or 2 cockroaches during the whole summer season. Each case is different. But of course with this cockroach, disinsection should be done at least once a year.
