COCKROACHES | PREVENTION OF A COCKROACH INFESTATION | COCKROACH CONTROL
COCKROACHES
Cockroaches are the most common insect pests infesting homes, food service establishments and other structures in the Northeast. They are large and omnivorous insects that are capable of transmitting disease, which causes food poisoning. Recently, cockroaches have been found to be the source of a highly common allergen in people, second only to house dust. Cockroaches typically become established in homes after being introduced in grocery bags, with laundry, or, in some cases, wandering in from outdoors. Once cockroaches become established they are prolific breeders, capable of producing several thousand offspring in a year.
Signs of cockroaches include:
Signs of cockroaches include:
- Visible identification of live or dead roaches, shell casings, and specks (fecal pellets and regurgitated food)
- Detection of pungent and oily odors
- Food products showing signs of pest activity
PREVENTION OF A COCKROACH INFESTATION
Since cockroaches flourish where food and moisture are readily available, sanitation is an important step in prevention and control. Empty soft drink bottles, cardboard boxes and paper bags should not be allowed to accumulate. Food containers should be sealed and any crumbs or spillage should be cleaned up.
