Moisture
Under sinks and near leaky faucets.
Plumbing
Around water pipes, especially hot water pipes.
Why are German Cockroaches So Hard to Eliminate?
-One reason is that female German cockroaches carry their egg cases for up to a month, protecting them from many treatments. They also tend to hide in cracks, crevices, and voids during this time. Our treatment strategy addresses this by targeting these hidden areas and scheduling follow-up visits to eliminate newly hatched nymphs.
-Most insecticides do not have the ability to penetrate the egg case, even if directly applied to the case. The unaffected egg cases will hatch days after treatment. This is another reason to schedule follow-up treatments in heavy infestations.
German cockroaches are experts at hiding. Our professional inspection can identify these hidden infestations, even in hard-to-reach places like wall voids, behind cabinets, and in narrow crevices. Contact us today for a thorough inspection.
