There is nothing as irritating as an intrusion of cockroaches scampering on your floor and countertops. Whether in your home or office, a cockroach infestation is a health hazard. Not only do they contaminate food, but they also spread dangerous diseases such as Dysentery and Salmonella. In some cases, allergic conditions like asthma have been associated with cockroach droppings. Currently, there may be cockroach species that have become immune to pesticides like the German roaches.

Recent studies state that when cockroaches develop resistance to various insecticides, it is almost impossible to get rid of them with chemicals only. That’s where a professional pesticide applicator comes into play. With female cockroaches laying more than 50 eggs within three months, trying to eradicate them on your own may become an enduring and expensive affair. Note that each cockroach egg case (called an ootheca) contains at least 14 to 16 eggs. That translates to how fast a cockroach colony may expand.

There are various incorporated methods that your exterminator may use. Some combine chemicals with traps, while others may opt for bug vacuums and enhanced sanitation. Remember that the main focus is to get an effective method to exterminate the roaches. So, whatever technique your exterminator settles for, it should play the purpose effectively.
