Perhaps the most common image of a filthy home is that of a home crawling with cockroaches. You may be surprised to learn that cockroaches can live just about anywhere and infest even the cleanest home. Cockroaches often hitch a ride from clothing and grocery stores to your home where a single female can lead to an infestation of epic proportions. In addition, it’s common for cockroach infestations to spread from one home to another in neighborhoods where the homes are close together.
Although keeping a clean home will help to control the cockroaches from coming out of the walls, they are able to and will eat non-human food items, such as wood, paper, and feces. They will also eat miniscule food particles on the floor, stove, sink drain, or counter, while spreading bacteria that can cause gastroenteritis and other illnesses around your home.
Some of the different species of cockroaches that can cause an infestation and need to be exterminated are the German cockroach, American cockroach (also called water bug because it prefers wet areas), and Asian cockroach. Wood roaches rarely cause infestations. Sticky traps are not a good method of control for roach infestations; however, they are a good way to determine the extent of a roach infestation.
