The Cockroach and Clutter Control
Clutter control is an essential part of cockroach control.
Clutter is the perfect habitat for the cockroach. They love to live in
cramped quarters and will take up residence anywhere they can happily
eat and breed.
What Attracts the Cockroach to Your Home?
It is the food in your home that attracts this household pest. Like any living being they need food and water to survive, so any building where food is prepared and stored will be an attractive living area. The cockroach can easily live off the food from unwashed dishes, bits of pet food on the floor and even the glue on postage stamps or book bindings.
One cockroach will lead to many. With an ongoing food and water supply there is no reason for them to leave your domicile. They will continue to live and breed in your home as long as conditions are favourable.
Health Problems Associated with Cockroach Infestations
Once the cockroach come into your home you have more than just an unsightly pest. For more than two decades it has been recognized that cockroach parts are highly allergenic.
There is an established connection between an infestation and the development of asthma in children. Children are more vulnerable because they crawl around on the floor and come into contact with the feces, larvae, eggs and other cockroach parts that are embedded in the carpet, baseboards, and the household dust that has settled there.
The connection to allergy induced asthma is clear:
Additionally these pests carry various types of bacteria in their gastrointestinal system which are deposited all over your house whenever they defecate. Bacteria isolated from cockroach droppings include salmonella. Food poisoning, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal illness in human are associated with infestations.
Clutter Control for Cockroach Control
Pest management experts call the living areas for pests "harborages". While the cockroaches will come out at night when you are asleep they will seek out dark places to hide during the day and particularly like to be almost "coccooned" when they are resting. In other words they like to have all surfaces of their body touching something. This makes them seek out very, very small cracks and crevices where they can hunker down undisturbed for their daytime sleep.
The recommended strategies for cockroach control includes clearing clutter and useless debris. Stacks of newspapers, cardboard boxes, and piles of clothing are ideal harborages.
Clutter control strategies that help to reduce cockroach harborages include:
Clearing clutter also means clearing the exterior clutter from around the house. Things like firewood, recycle boxes, and garbage cans can attract roaches, and provide ideal harborages. Once the cockroach has taken up residence outside your home moving inside through tiny cracks and crevices around plumbing and electrical conduits is an easy task.
Another way that this pest gets into your home is by hitch hiking on something else. If your shopping habits include frequenting flea markets, auctions, or purchasing goods by the "lot" or "by the pound" make sure that these items are unpacked and carefully scrutinized for cockroach carcasses and egg casings before you bring them into your home. Kill any live eggs that may be present by washing used clothing before it goes into your closet.
If you build clutter the cockroach will come and it will stay. Clutter control is not just a mantra for organized living. It is also a strategy for health promotion.

The connection to allergy induced asthma is clear:
- 60% of people with asthma test positive to cockroach allergens.
- asthmatic children who are allergic to cockroaches are 3 times more likely to be hospitalized for asthma if they have significant exposure to large cockroach populations in their environment (National Cooperative Inner City Asthma Study, 1997)
- even if other allergies such as dust mites are present it is the level of cockroach allergens in the environment that is most closely associated with the severity of the asthma in children.

The recommended strategies for cockroach control includes clearing clutter and useless debris. Stacks of newspapers, cardboard boxes, and piles of clothing are ideal harborages.
Clutter control strategies that help to reduce cockroach harborages include:
- Use plastic storage bins (not cardboard) if you must store items like seasonal clothing and make sure the lid fits tightly and the storage bin is not cracked.
- Do not store newspapers in your home, take them directly to an outdoor recycle bin
- Do not leave out pet food dishes with food and water. Feed your pet at a regular time, then take the dish and wash it after your pet has eaten.
- Do not store unused plastic bags under the kitchen sink. They make a perfect cockroach coccoon.
- Discard unused corrugated cardboard immediately. The crevices in corrugated cardboard are ideal harborages for the cockroach and they can live off the organic matter of the box so they will breed prolifically in cardboard boxes.
Clearing clutter also means clearing the exterior clutter from around the house. Things like firewood, recycle boxes, and garbage cans can attract roaches, and provide ideal harborages. Once the cockroach has taken up residence outside your home moving inside through tiny cracks and crevices around plumbing and electrical conduits is an easy task.

Why You Must Use Pest Control Services At Your Home
Learning to keep a neat, tidy and clean home isn't as easy you
may think, simply hoovering up and cleaning the floors won't actually
keep your home completely clean, as there are other forms of erosion,
dirt and muck that can appear from other sources. In order to keep the
cleanest home as possible, we need to learn about these other sources,
and learn how to prevent them from occurring, as they can actually cause
substantial damage to you and your home, and make it have a nasty
stench. One of the main issues that prevents people from having a clean
home is pest infestation. Pests have the name 'pests' for a reason, they
are annoying, they cause havoc, mess and smells that we all wish to
banish from our homes. The problem is, people don't deal with their pest
issues effectively, they see pests, kill them there and then or throw
them out, and then forget about them, but the problem could lie deeper
than that, why are the pests appearing in the first place, and where are
they going to?
It's essential to stop and prevent pests from coming into your home, because as soon as they find a cosy spot, they will build their nest there, have babies and more and more pests will start to appear. Pests can get into areas which are totally out of sight to us humans, they can get into wall cavities, ceiling cavities and other small spaces. When they get into these small areas, they usually mate and have hundreds of babies, which means you have a nest or colony of pests within your homes internal materials. When you do encounter an issue where pests have made their nests in cavities, you actually have a much serious deeper issue than you may think, this certainly is the worst case scenario.
So how can we prevent these pests from entering our homes in the first place, what's the best way to maintain a pest free home? The answer is by hiring one of the many professional pest control services. pest control services will enforce the most effective pest prevention schemes into your home, they will alert you on the valuable information you need to know, and if you do have any pest problems at the current time, they will exterminate them for you. If your case is a serious one, you must contact a pest control service right away, so that they can come to your home and get rid of the issue, before it gets any worse.

Pest Control Misconceptions - The 4 Mistakes Consumers Make When Choosing a Pest Control Company
Misconception #1: You should wait as long as possible before you
have your home or business professionally serviced for pest control
problems.
This is false. Pests multiply rapidly and if you see one there are probably plenty more in hiding. Many pests produce egg sacks that contain numerous eggs. For instance, the cockroach lays an egg sack containing approximately 15 to 30 baby cockroaches. These baby cockroaches breed in as early as two weeks. A pest infested structure will continually become more infested as long as you ignore the problem. Over the counter sprays and pesticides may help slightly, but by themselves are not enough. The longer you wait to have service the more those pests will multiply and the more difficult it will be to eliminate the problem.
Misconception #2: The only reason to have your home serviced for pests is to get rid of visible infestations.
This is also false. As you already know, for every pest you see there are multiples in hiding. If you have one type of pest in your home then it's likely your home is a good breading ground for other types of pests. Not surprisingly, those pests build colonies and nurseries in between your walls, underneath your home, and in cracks and crevices you can't see. Some of these pests can be poisonous and potentially dangerous. Even if you currently haven't seen one of these pests, they can climb into your shoes, crawl into clothing, or hide in your bed sheets and surprise one of your loved ones with a venomous bite or sting.
What about pests you hardly ever see? Termites are one example. They remain in hidden voids. You need a certified termite technician to identify and show you were potential termite infestation may occur. Don't forget about carpenter ants, they too are very dangerous to structures. Again, ask for a certified pest control technician to look over your structure. Only then can you be sure you are protected and can prevent this type of infestation.
Misconception #3: One method of pest control is as good as another.
This is also false. It would be quite easy to pick a pest control company or pest control method if this were the case, but this is not true. Professional pest control companies should be certified by the Structural Pest Control Board. In addition, they should have a yearly license renewal to keep up-to-date with the latest technology. In many ways that certification is like a degree in pest control. Ask to see your companies credentials and certification. This certification can not be bought. It has to be earned through hours of education, testing, and schooling.
A company who employs well trained and certified technicians will eliminate pest problems much more thoroughly than a non-certified person. Professional technicians are trained to use the correct type of materials for each type of pest problem. In addition, they are trained to eliminate pests from those hidden areas that are virtually impossible to reach unless your technician is a trained and certified professional.
Misconception #4: Do-It-Yourself pest control works as good as hiring a professional pest control technician to treat your home or business?
You can purchase over the counter pesticides. Some of these over the counter pesticides use products with ingredients and chemicals that merely attack the nervous system of the pest. However, once this particular product dries, its effectiveness is completely gone. In these cases the only pests it will effect are those who have direct contact with it while it's wet. So, when you spray (for instance) a cockroach or two, those two will die but the 20 or 40 in hiding can very well be untouched and alive still multiplying rapidly.
Some people ask if the cockroach carries the chemical back to the nests of other cockroaches to kill them off. Many of these materials don't work that way. In fact, if the cockroach makes it back to the nesting area, but the material has dried on its body, it will not effect any other cockroaches.
When using pesticides on ants, you can make the problem worse. If you spray an anthill, for instance, the live ants carry a signal back to the colony. The ants then spread into satellite colonies. Thus, the ant hills are spread into numerous anthills.
There are also industrial strength pesticides you can purchase from janitorial supply stores and other industrial retail locations. The problem with that is some chemicals leave toxic residue that can remain poisonous for years. This is a tremendous threat to your entire family. In addition, some pesticides will not be the right prescription for the pest problem. They can cause allergic and respiratory reactions if you don't know what your using. So the possibility here is that you might not eliminate the pests you need to eliminate and the toxic residue which may remain in your in your structure for years to come and could harm those you love.

Do Not Let Pests Invade Your Sweet Home
We want to stay in our sweet home, where we can sleep in peace.
After a day's hard work, all want to go to sleep and stay in the world
of dreams. The mind remains in subconscious state and never appreciates
any disturbance. Often that sound sleep is disturbed by the pests, who
invade your house and makes you feel uncomfortable in their presence.
Pests are very small in shape; they are small creatures that fill your house by their presence. They often create damage to your furniture, kitchen utensils, as well as clothes. If not taken care, their disturbance increases and you find it difficult to stay with them. Nobody appreciates their presence and humans never agree to surrender in front of the small pests.
Bed bugs are those pests that can hamper your sleep and leave you in hell. After a day's hard work, the wicked creature can snatch your peace of mind by waking you up in the middle of the night. The creature, although small, has huge power to take you somewhere that is next to hell.
The parasitic insects feed on human blood and they remain active at night. They feed on their hosts without being noticed. They are found near or in bed or beddings and are expert to spoil your sound sleep. They love to bite you, when you are asleep. You wake up due to the irritation caused by it during sleep.
They have adverse effects on humans and results in skin rashes followed by psychological disorders and allergic symptoms. Adult bed bugs vary in color from light brown to reddish brown. They are flattened, oval-shaped, without any hind wings. They have segmented abdomens with microscopic hair.
Blood is their favorite meal and their abdomen becomes bright red after they consume the meal. This finally turns brown after a few hours and then to opaque black after two days of digesting the meal. They have ant-like movements when they are warm and active.
In order to get rid of them, it is necessary to clean the bed bugs off your mattress and linens. Building trap is also one good way to prevent the remaining bed bugs to crawl and climb the legs of your bed. Isolating your bed will help you to sleep in peace, but the solution is temporary and not a permanent way to get rid of bed bugs.
Use of insecticides and pesticides is one way to prevent their invasion. Cutting of their food sources and breeding grounds can also prevent their spreading. The best thing is to surrender your home to the professionals, who use the technological tools to trap them. Once they trap, it is their sole responsibility to dispose the insect. Some professionals use a bait to attract these pests and trap them to a central location. They use the best pest control service required to save your sweet home from the blood sucking bed bugs that invade your house and kills your peace.

Pest Control Services - What They Do and Why You Should Use Them
Quite often when we think of pest control services, it will be
wasps and rats that are brought to mind. But there are many other
creatures that can cause problems if not dealt with. There are certain
ones that can be treated by the homeowner, but some need the assistance
of a professional to ensure they are permanently removed and not left to
damage the property or surrounding area. Main pests to remove through
professional means include the following.
Black ants - These are difficult to exterminate as it is only possible to fully remove them if the seat to the colony is targeted. It is rare that they will be removed with one treatment so be prepared to arrange a follow-up one. It is made more difficult when flying ants are involved as there are additional ways that they can enter the property, so additional means will be needed to ensure they are removed.
Cockroaches - These will have to be removed quickly, because they are adept at running over shiny services, meaning many areas of the kitchen will not be off limit to them. This includes also the food preparation surfaces. This will often be a two-way approach, with insecticide being used alongside traps so that they can be removed swiftly.
Hornets - These are quite vicious and while unlikely to sting humans, it is not unheard of. They will also be protective of nests, so you will want to get someone with protective clothing in to remove them for you. Due to their size - they are noticeably larger than normal wasps - they can be intimidating.
Bedbugs - Parents may be used to saying to their children "don't let the bed bugs bite" at the end of the little rhyme, but it is underestimated just how many bedbugs there are in children's beds and bedrooms around the world. They don't just live in the beds, but virtually all around the room and as there are 4 possible breeding times a year, once they are there they will be hard to remove. When the room is being sprayed it is important to make sure that there is no one around. Also to give a better chance of getting rid of them all, rooms around the infected one should be treated as well.
Earwigs - Not all infestations are found in old areas that may have been a bit neglected as earwigs are most likely to be found in new housing developments. They are small so can be easily missed, and the best way to remove them is to identify how they are getting in, block this up and then kill them with insecticide.
The main reason to get a professional will be to ensure the person knows what they are looking for and what they are doing during the fumigation/spraying process. By not getting rid of them all as well as preventing them coming back, there is the risk that they will stay or at least come back and the problem will become worse than before. It is worth the time and money it takes to get rid of the problem right away.

Where Do Cockroaches Hide?
Cockroaches are year round pests that hide 75-90% of their time.
They are nocturnal; they come out at night and feed in the dark.
A cockroach needs very little to live. A little warmth, a little shelter, and a little moisture, and a small amount of food are all that is required for a cockroach to survive. Roaches prefer environments close to food sources. However, cockroaches can be found in many locations in the home, they are not always found in just the kitchen. The cockroach is not capable of biting; rather, it scrapes and chews or munches. It will as soon snack on paper and soiled clothing as on scattered crumbs.
When determining where cockroaches may be hiding, take a look at potential pipe chases or sources of water for additional harbourage areas. If a cockroach infestation is indeed present, the aggregation pheromones in their fecal matter cause other cockroaches to habour in specific areas. These fecal focal points are where these roaches will accumulate and are key in finding and controlling groups of roaches.
Roaches follow along edges and other structural lines and can get into almost any small crevasse. Places to begin searching inside your house include moldings, counters, shelves, cracks, fume hoods, stoves, dishwashers, water basins, tubs, fridges, columns, cardboard, etc. If they can get into in it, they will most likely be there.
Using an insect monitor will help to determine potential harbourage areas. Placement of these monitors should be in suspected areas of food, water and hiding places. This will assist in determining alternative cockroach harbourage areas.
Cockroaches can be found in dirty or unkept houses so maintaining proper sanitation is key. All food sources available to cockroaches should be eliminated. Homeowners can keep their spaces clean by tidying countertops, floors and around garbage cans. Any exposed food that is left out on the counter should be stored in sealed containers. Also, your appliances should be kept clean. Another tip is to not leave dishes that have food in them in the sink overnight. Since cockroaches come out and are active at night, they may be drawn to any food left on plates that are sitting in the sink. It is important to reduce clutter, these insects like to hide in stacked boxes and locations near food. They will feed on all types of human food as well as on pet food, toothpaste, soap, glue, etc.

Bad News - A Cockroach Is Never Lonely
If you see one cockroach in your home, you have more. Hundreds.
Maybe even thousands of viruses and bacteria carrying creeps are living
under your roof. Nothing to be embarrassed about, but definitely
something you want to get rid of. As fast as humanly possible. When it
comes to cockroach control, there is little time to waste.
A cockroach is never lonely. They live in groups and these groups grow fast. Think that's bad news? Here is the worst: the bigger the group, the faster a group will grow. Because of the size of the group, a female cockroach speeds up in reaching the adult stage so she can mate. This is perhaps another reason of why and how cockroaches can reproduce so quickly.
The entire process from egg to adult takes just about 90 days. The average lifespan of a cockroach is 200 days to a full year, depending on the species.
Let me explain to you what this all means. In 90 days a female cockroach will grow, reach sexual maturity, mate and then lay 30-48 eggs. Considering the female cockroach can produce 8 egg sacs a year, which equals to about 384 new cockroaches a year. If you have 100 female cockroaches living under your roof, that's close to 40.000 newborn cockroaches. Thing is: by the time you discover your uninvited guests, you probably have more than just a 100...
It get's worse. Most of these newborn roaches will survive and be able to begin reproducing in another 3 months. I've already done the math for you. With ideal conditions, one single cockroach and its youth can produce 25,000 offspring a year. A hundred roaches can produce 2,500,000. A thousand female cockroaches end up as a group of 25 million cockroaches. That's why cockroach control a pretty tough battle.
Considering a cockroach never comes alone and with up to four generations of roaches being born within a year, it is very easy to see how and why cockroaches can quickly take over your home and then an apartment building and then a city block.
Having cockroaches living under your roof is nothing to be embarrassed about. Happens all over the country and to anyone. Once you've discovered the creeps though, it's time to take immediate action. Now you know how fast a group of roaches grows, you know time isn't on your side.

American Roaches - Frequently Asked Questions
They don't discriminate - One of the most
unwanted house guests is the American Cockroach. These highly adaptive
buggers can make any home or business their property overnight. They can
infiltrate, multiply, and infest almost overnight creating an out of
control problem before you ever even see any sign of a cockroach.
Although the "dirty" homes and businesses are more at risk, that is not
always necessary for them to happily nest in your clean residence. They
are adaptive to just about anywhere if you don't take a few
precautionary steps to keep your home and business a roach free zone.
Identifying the American Roach - The American Cockroach has quickly become one of the most advanced roaches within its species. They can be identified by their typical reddish-brown to mahogany color with slight yellow outlining the area behind the head. Generally considered a big bug, they can grow to about three inches long eventually growing wings as they reach adulthood. When it comes to a food source, there is not much that they won't eat, although along with food scraps they will enjoy eating leaves and algae.
Infestation and reproductive timeline - The American Roach lays large batches of eggs that have a hard protective covering making them extremely hard to kill with any weak home products. They can go from hatchlings to adulthood in about five months, making the likelihood of infestation if they've made it into your home almost inevitable.
Ideal nesting climates - This roach is generally attracted to warm, dark, damp areas that they can find in your home or business. Part of what makes these bugs so dangerous is the fact that they like outdoor areas as well. They love to seek out damp and warm mulch piles around trees and flowerbeds that may adorn your yard, bringing them just that much closer to setting up shop right in your dwelling.
Prevention and treatment options - Unfortunately there is not much you can do to combat these critters. Having your yard professionally treated can help create a perimeter around your house. Futile results from home remedies quickly deem them ineffective against this highly efficient bug. They can pass through microscopic openings to your home through walls, doors, and windows making it equally important to treat your home and business as well to prevent being overrun by these roaches.
Finding the right service - With a multitude of bug extermination services available, how do you go about choosing the right one for the job you need? Doing a little research on a company's background along with reading some online reviews from past customer experiences can get you started. Then placing some calls to talk with trained knowledgeable representatives that are happy to assist you in getting the right assessment. Finally having a field technician do an on-site examination complete with free recommendations, explanations, and estimations that fit your timeline and budget can keep you and your home bug-free.
