How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. There are multiple ways they can gain entrance to structures: through cracks, crevices, vents, sewers, pipe drains, open windows and doors and in products brought into premises.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They also can travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and can pass through small openings like light switch plates. Many times they are brought in with grocery items, grocery bags, cartons, handbags, and luggage. A professional inspection is important to find all potential harborages and a determination if it had been brought in with certain items.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there is a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages will need to be found and treated. It may not be possible to eliminate all of the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent supply of cockroaches is carried into the premises via packages or food shipments. You can discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your house or business.
