There are a handful of cockroaches living in the United States that regularly invade our structures. In our area, the most common roaches to come into contact with are American cockroaches, German cockroaches, and Oriental cockroaches.
Are Cockroaches Dangerous?
The biggest concern with cockroaches is that they have less than sanitary diets, and before moving into your home, they were likely feeding on garbage, carrion, and excrement. Cockroaches carry and transmit many different bacteria and pathogens that can make people quite ill. As cockroaches move around homes and businesses, they contaminate surfaces, food, and anything else they come across.
A significant trigger for asthma attacks and allergies, cockroaches should never live inside of our structures. The more time roaches are in a home or business, the more time there will be for their excrement and shed skins to build up. Common allergy symptoms of a cockroach infestation include skin rashes, breathing problems, running noses, congestion, coughing, and sneezing.
Common Causes of Cockroach Infestations
You have a problem with cockroaches because these pests have the potential to pop up in any home or business. Even if you think your home is free of any food debris, cockroaches are expert scavengers and will find any crumb that you have missed under the toaster, the oven, or on a pantry shelf. Also, it is not just food that cockroaches are searching for; they are also looking for shelter and water sources — something all our homes are likely to provide.
In addition to moving in on their own, cockroaches are often introduced into homes unknowingly by people. Hitchhiking is a common way that cockroaches move from place to place. They will crawl into things like cardboard, appliances, electronics, furniture, and bags and move wherever we take them!
Where Will I Find Cockroaches?
Cockroaches will live anywhere there is moisture, food, and shelter. The smell of food is highly attractive to cockroaches. Things like open trash cans, compost piles, pet food, and gardens will attract cockroaches to our properties.
American, German, and Oriental cockroaches also like to live in areas that provide them with a lot of moisture. In our homes and businesses, they tend to hang out in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, which provide them with water and easy access to food. Some of a cockroach’s favorite hideouts are listed below:
- Around drains and sump pumps
- Inside electrical outlets
- Under appliances
- Behind cabinets, baseboards, and wooden trim
- Inside of boxes, cabinets, and areas under sinks or around tubs and sink
