High risk
Year-round
German and American roaches trigger asthma and spread bacteria, daylight sightings signal a large infestation.
Warning signs
Droppings that look like ground coffee, egg cases behind appliances, a musty oily odor, and, the biggest red flag, roaches visible during daylight.
Why it matters
Cockroach allergens are a leading trigger of childhood asthma. Roaches spread salmonella and E. coli across food-prep surfaces and multiply at explosive speed indoors.
How we treat it
Gel baits and insect growth regulators placed at harborage points break the breeding cycle, with crack-and-crevice treatment in kitchens and bathrooms. Follow-up is included.
Prevention checklist
Fix leaks and dry out under-sink cabinets
Clean grease behind stoves and fridges
Take rubbish out nightly
