Oriental Cockroaches

Are Oriental cockroaches dangerous?

Before crawling across the floors, tables, utensils, food, and countertops in your home, Oriental cockroaches traversed sewers, drains, rubbish piles, and other germ-filled areas.

The bacteria and other infectious agents of Oriental cockroaches transmit diseases that include nausea, diarrhea, fever, and rashes on the skin.

The presence of Oriental cockroaches is also associated with allergic responses. In vulnerable individuals, particularly children, the presence of cockroaches triggers asthma episodes.

Why do I have an Oriental cockroach problem?

Oriental cockroaches inhabit gardens and under porches and decks when living outside. Their proximity to our homes enables them to enter with relative ease.

When the temperature outside becomes too hot and dry, Oriental cockroaches often go indoors in search of moisture. Additionally, they wander indoors when searching for food.

It just takes a few of these roaches to enter your home for a significant infestation to develop. They can conceal themselves from view, allowing them to reproduce and grow their numbers before humans discover their presence.

Where will I find Oriental cockroaches?

Oriental cockroaches are difficult to see when they are hidden in dark corners and cracks of your home due to their black hue. They are not adept climbers and prefer to remain on the ground.

They forage for food at night. Throughout the day, they congregate in damp areas, such as around drains, sump pumps, and water pipes. Consequently, infestations are common in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements.
