Summer is when roaches peak in numbers. The weather is ideal for them to breed and go thru their cycle fast. If a roach population isn’t drastically crashed with the first 30 days then chances are they will repopulated and hang around another 30 days. This is the time frame we use to get a roach population under control. We have about a month to get the problem almost-gone, otherwise the clock resets and we need to start all over again.

Roaches can cause health problems such as asthmatic issues. Their bodies can break down into tiny pieces causing them to become airborne, which you breathe in. Roaches live in the most unsanitary of places. They can survive so well, this makes the dirty…they walk around counter tops, over food and are constantly spreading bacteria where ever they go.

Roach infestations take a multi-faceted approach to solve. Depending on the situation we may use a combination of products to get the population under control fast. Something you can before and after a service is vacuum. Vacuuming and removing roaches is an excellent way to reduce their numbers and slow the progression of the infestation.
