Two Cowleys pest control technicians were dispatched to a home in Wickatunk for a thorough roach clean-out. A residential cockroach infection is more than a nuisance or social embarrassment. A roach infestation is a serious health hazard. Roaches are vectors (carriers) of bacteria and other pathogens that can lead to a number of diseases from diarrhea to food poisoning and sepsis. These insects contaminate food and kitchen countertops. When foraging for food, they leave behind a trail of waste material, egg casings, and molted exoskeletons. When eating, roaches also regurgitate their saliva and digestive fluids. Their secretions contain allergens that can trigger rashes, sneezing, and other allergic reactions. For those with asthma, inhaling cockroach allergens can trigger respiratory attacks. Roach populations increase rapidly — a single egg casing (ootheca) can contain up to 50 eggs, and it takes a roach only about three months to morph from egg to adult. Needless to say, roach infestations are nothing to trifle with. It important to deal with these infestations in their earliest stages, and have it done right. Often DIY roach projects often make matters worse, further spreading the infestation to other areas of the home.
During our inspection, we found heavy roach clusters in numerous areas in the kitchen — behind the refrigerator, in the cabinet above the refrigerator, behind the stove, and even hidden behind the backsplash on the kitchen wall behind the sink. Roaches eat more than what we think of as food. They even consume glue on contact paper, wallpaper paste, and soap.
To treat the infestation we used a aerosol product that forces the roaches out of their hiding spots. We also treated all the baseboards and wall voids. We’ll return for a two-week follow-up visit to re-inspect and perform additional treatments as necessary. It is also imperative that homeowners ensure that good sanitation practices are followed in the kitchen. We’ll work on this job until this infestation is gone and the home is roach-free.
