Cockroach Control

There are various species of cockroaches native to the Midwest. While they all share some similarities, their distinctions are great enough to determine the best plan-of-action for treatment. For this reason, it's best to call in the experts at Davis Pest Control so that we can make the proper assessment and begin treatment before they get out of hand. 

Common Causes

Most roach infestations begin with entry from outside through any available openings and commonly by getting carried in in new and used furniture, boxes, electronics, any any other bulk items brought into your home or business. 

The species of roach determines how best to begin eradication. Here are some facts about common roaches:
  • Brown-banded roaches prefer warm, dry places and live and nest exclusively indoors, often in higher locations, such as in ceilings and picture frames. They usually find a way into your home through used furniture and boxes. 
  • German roaches often live indoors around wet, warm areas, like in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms and have a special attraction to the warmth of running appliances like refrigerators and HVAC systems. They also tend to make their way into your home by way of used furniture, appliances, boxes and other electronics. 
  • Oriental roaches enjoy wet, cool environments and tend to live indoors. Basements, bathrooms, pipes, drains, and wall voids are their ideal habitats. 
  • American roaches love wet, cool habitats, but typically reside outdoors entering building through drains and foundation openings.
  • Turkestan roaches stay outdoors for the most part but males find their way indoors due to their strong attraction to light in the night hours. 

Treatment Options

Our specialists have the training and hands-on experience to best deal with your roach invasions. They can properly identify the species and begin tracking down their natural habitats before recommending treatment. Roaches often require repeat applications as they are extremely resilient, can survive long periods without food and water, and nest in even the most difficult conditions. 

Roaches are so common in the Midwest that you will likely benefit from having frequent inspections and a continuous treatment plan. The Davis365 Service Guarantee is recommended when roaches are present in your living spaces. Get with one of our technicians for details. 

Preventative Controls

Roach infestations are possible even in the cleanest of homes. Roaches are attracted to food sources and will devour the smallest of crumbs commonly left behind in pantries and storage cabinets. This makes it increasingly difficult to combat roaches because eliminating everything roaches feed on is virtually impossible. You can, however, take some precautions including sealing perishable items like cereals, breads, crackers, pastas and pet foods in airtight plastic containers. Minimizing clutter, cleaning and using properly-installed drain strainers, repairing leaks, caulking drains, faucets and other points-of-entry and not overwatering you lawn and landscapes will all aid in minimizing the chance or a roach invasion.
