Roaches are among the most dreaded pests for homeowners and businesses alike. Their ability to multiply rapidly and spread diseases makes them a major nuisance and health concern. Fortunately, Bug Squashers of Maryland brings years of expertise to the table to provide effective and safe roach control solutions. Whether you’re dealing with an infestation in your home or commercial property, Bug Squashers uses industry-leading products and methods, like Gentrol IGR, to ensure roaches are eliminated for good.
Roaches are resilient pests that can grow up to 2 inches in length. These insects have six legs, two long antennae, and, in some species, wings. While a few types of roaches can fly, most cannot, but that doesn’t make them any less invasive. Their presence is more than just a nuisance — it’s a potential health risk. Roaches are known carriers of bacteria, which they pick up while scavenging in garbage, decaying matter, and food waste. This makes them a significant source of contamination in homes and businesses.
Detecting a roach infestation early can save you from a bigger headache down the road. Here are some telltale signs to look out for:
Roach droppings resemble coffee grounds or black pepper, especially from smaller species. Larger roaches leave cylindrical droppings. These can often be found in areas like:
Roach egg cases, known as oothecae, are brown and oblong. Each case may contain up to 50 eggs, making it crucial to address infestations promptly. These egg sacs are usually hidden in cracks, crevices, and other sheltered spots.
A strong, musty smell is a common indicator of a significant roach infestation. The odor becomes more pungent as the infestation grows, due to the pheromones and droppings of the roaches.
