Stomping Out Springfield's Cockroaches

November 7, 2019

In: Residential Pest Control

It is important to start out by saying that we don't recommend actually stomping on cockroaches. We are being figurative. Not only can stomping on cockroaches create a mess, but it can spread cockroaches around. See, some cockroaches keep their eggs on their backs, and these eggs can get caught in the treads of shoes and boots and then be dislodged in an area that is not yet infested. It is best to refrain from stepping on roaches as a general rule. That being said, stomping out Springfield cockroach infestations should be done at all costs. Here's what you need to know.

What Roaches Do We Battle?

In our Springfield service area, the German cockroach is the most common species we deal with. This is because German cockroaches are incredibly adaptable to the conditions inside homes. One of those conditions is a reduced level of humidity. Don't expect to get rid of these cockroaches by installing dehumidifiers.

Why Are Springfield Roaches So Bad?

Whether you have German cockroaches in your home or some other species of cockroach, it is important that you understand that all cockroaches promote illness. They are linked to the spread of over 33 kinds of bacteria, 7 human pathogens, and 6 parasitic worms. They are also known to aggravate asthma symptoms and increase hospital visits for asthma-related symptoms.
