Local Cockroach Extermination & Prevention

Texas is no stranger to roaches with over thirty different species being found in our state alone; and the Houston, Missouri City, Sugar Land, and Katy areas are certainly no exception. Roaches are particularly pesky pests to try to eliminate and control. They are highly adaptable, can easily make their way into your home through small holes that you may not detect or be able to see, survive for up to a month with no food and a week without any water, and can be extremely difficult to detect early on until you find yourself with a full-blown infestation on your hands. Since there are so many different species, it is important to properly identify the specific kind of roach is in your home in order to come up with an effective treatment plan. That is why the key to effectively ridding your home of roaches and preventing them from coming back is through regular roach control services from an experienced local pest control company.

There’s no question - roaches are disgusting little critters that can easily make your skin crawl just thinking about them. But more concerning is the fact that they are riddled with bacteria - such as salmonella, staphylococcus, dysentery, cholera, and streptococcus - to name a few, that can easily make you and your loved ones very sick, even if you never run across one in your home. In addition, roaches are one of the most common sources of indoor allergens due to the enzymes found in their excrement, shedding body parts, eggs, and saliva. For those with asthma, this can be particularly concerning. If you or even one of your immediate neighbors have seen any cockroaches in the home, it is important to call a pest control company as soon as possible.
