Identifying and exterminating cockroaches as quickly as possible is important. Cockroaches are sneaky and hard to find which is bad because in addition to having an appetite for eating almost anything, including decaying food you might have in the trash, they also carry lots of germs that can lead to human health problems. Brown Banded Cockroaches in particular carry bacteria that can cause gastroenteritis and diarrhea. They can also trigger allergies and asthma attacks if left untreated.
For their size, cockroaches can be just about the most elusive pests that will invade your home. This is due to several reasons: first they are most active at night, preferring to feed in low light and complete darkness. Second, they will hide just about anywhere. Sure, there are the usual places including kitchen cabinets, under sinks, refrigerators and in closets but they’ve also been found in more obscure places. How obscure?
