Cockroaches taking over your home?

In addition to being unsightly, cockroaches can pose a health hazard to your home and family. The dirt-like grains of roach droppings and the signature “musty” smell emitted by some roach species can be allergenic, leading to air quality problems and breathing issues for some people who are sensitive to these allergens.

These pests are not just an allergen for people with compromised immune systems, have asthma or have allergies, but they can be a hazard for anyone with a respiratory disease who lives in the home or has to come into close contact with the roach dropping or pests themselves.

Roaches can also carry diseases, including e. coli. Any food that is accessible to a roach, especially food that is stored in pantry areas, can be contaminated by roach droppings and diseases that are carried on their bodies. Because roaches spend a lot of their time in garbage, sewers and other unsanitary places, they are exposed to a number of potentially dangerous pathogens, that will be invisible to the eye, but that will easily contaminate the food resources in your home and office areas.

Even food in a pantry that is in protective canisters can become contaminated. Once the roaches roam around in a food pantry and track across even closed and sealed food resources, they are contaminating the food. Once a person touches the food canister to open the food, the droppings from the roaches can get onto the individual's hands. Then, if the person puts his or her hands to the mouth, then the contamination has spread easily and health hazards may be the result of this type of exposure.

Even the careful person could find himself or herself in this situation. Remember, roaches come to any type of home, they are not known to only come to one home and not another, no home is immune from developing a roach population if the conditions are right.

Cockroaches are unwelcome guests in any home. If you’ve found roaches in your home or business, it’s often a good sign that there are many more hidden out of sight within the walls, under the floor or along the baseboards. Because roaches are so difficult to eradicate, professional intervention is often the best and only recourse. If you try to rid the roaches using sprays, be aware that they will come back once the store bought spray dissipates. It is better to call in the professionals right now, to get rid of this problem pronto!

It is also worthy to note that swatting or stomping on roaches will not get rid of the problem, but will definitely make it worse! When you step on a roach, you run the risk that the bugs will hid out in the tread of your shoes instead of be killed, and you will basically become a transportation device for them to travel to different locations on the bottom of your shoes. Also, if you step on a roach you can run the chance that you are stepping on roach eggs, which you will also seemingly unwillingly transport to other areas that were previously not infested.
