Pests We Treat - Massive Cockroach Infestation in Ocean Grove, NJ

I recently responded to a cockroach service call in Ocean Grove, NJ that, even for me, was so severe, it could have been a scene in a horror film. The infestation level of the home was so great, it required two skilled Cowleys technicians and roughly 3 to 4 hours of treatment time to tackle this problem. 

German cockroaches, otherwise referred to as Blattella Germanica, are a roach species that is extremely intrusive, and has reproduction rates higher than any other residential cockroach found in our area. Whenever we receive a call for a severe roach infestation in a home or restaurant, German cockroaches are the usual suspects. They feed mostly on scraps of food that have been overlooked when cleaning, grease, sugars and pretty much anything else edible that they locate while constantly crawling around your home on your floors, counters, sinks, and cabinets, all the while leaving their waste droppings behind. Hot spots include kitchens and bathrooms but these roaches have absolutely no problem exploring all areas of your home. In the case of this home, they have been left alone long enough to literally take control and move in as if they had an open invitation. 

At first sight of these pests, who vary from brown to almost black with two strips down its back, it is very important to call immediately due to the fact that they arent just going to leave on their own. In fact if left untreated, a single German Roach female can lay up to 50 eggs each making its reproduction one of the highest of all known roaches world wide. The most efficient treatment method for an infestation of this magnitude involves the homeowner to leave the premises so a thick fog can be pumped into the home to assure that every crack, crevice and pinhole is accounted for. The best suggestion recommended is to call immediately on sight of just one of these roaches, so just a simple spray method can be applied before the population reaches unbelievable numbers.
