@#$% Cockroaches

For about 70 million years, they have been around! And if history is any indicator, they’ll be around long after we’re gone! They cause screams, repulse even the bravest individual, infest structure of all kinds and reproduce at rates that will amaze you! They are tenacious, will eat nearly anything, love the warmth, food and shelter of your home and run for the cracks and crevices when the light turns on. What are they? COCKROACHES!

Let’s take a look at how the roach can harm your health and have an effect on your happiness:

1. Asthma. In homes with severe cockroach populations, the incidence of asthma is great. Their allergens can cause severe complications and can even be life-threatening. And people who are not asthmatic may develop cockroach asthma by inhaling cockroach allergens.
2. Food contamination. A study found that the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa can multiply extensively in the cockroach’s gut, causing diseases like urinary tract infections and digestive problems.
3. Food poisoning. The insect harbors the bacterium Salmonella which can cause typhoid and food poisoning.
4. Allergies. The cockroach’s saliva secretion and body parts contain hundreds of allergens that can trigger an undesirable reaction. You may suffer from skin rashes, sneezing and watery eyes.

So these five reasons are enough to make even the most tolerant individual pick up the phone and call DA Exterminating for our cockroach control services. 800-650-PEST. Call today!
