The Importance Of Professional Cockroach Control Services

In the UK, there are several cockroach species found, mainly German cockroaches and Oriental cockroaches. You may also encounter American cockroaches or brown-banded cockroaches. Whatever species you have, they all pose significant health risks to homes and businesses across Essex.

Not only do cockroaches carry diseases, but they can also cause property damage and stress, so you need to find an approach to get rid of them. Cockroaches are difficult to kill, which is why they’re one of the species that’s likely to survive an apocalypse.

    Is It A Good Idea To Squash Cockroaches?

    Stamping on them may be an effective approach to killing cockroaches, but it can cause issues. Cockroaches carry allergens and bacteria that can be spread into the air when they are squashed, potentially causing health problems, triggering an allergic reaction or, in some cases, causing an asthma attack. Dead cockroaches can also leave behind marks that can be difficult to get rid of, so it’s best not to squash them if you notice cockroaches on your property.


    Will Sleeping With The Light On Keep Cockroaches Away?

    Cockroaches are naturally averse to light, but they can adapt to it. As such, sleeping with the light on is not an effective way to get rid of a cockroach infestation.


    Do Cockroaches Bite Humans?

    While it is uncommon, cockroaches can bite humans in some cases. This usually happens when you’re asleep, and they will normally bite dry skin on extremities such as hands and feet.

    Unfortunately, once they’ve found damp areas and food sources, cockroaches are unlikely to leave an area of their own accord. DIY cockroach treatments are ineffective, so it’s worth investing in professional cockroach pest control services from Essex Pest Proof.
