How to Get Rid of Roaches The Seattle area is home to numerous species of cockroaches, and it's a myth that these bugs only end up in homes where living conditions are poor. While cockroaches do thrive in unsanitary conditions, even clean homes can end up infested with these pests, especially in areas where homes are close together and in condominium units located within single buildings. Homeowners who discover roaches have two options available to them: try to remove roaches on their own using DIY roach pest control products or call one of the many Seattle exterminators in the area for assistance. Why Worry About Roaches? Cockroaches don't just seem dirty; they actually are carriers of germs. Small roaches like the German cockroach and the brown banded cockroach bring along bacteria that can cause severe digestive symptoms and spread diseases like dysentery. Larger cockroaches like the Oriental cockroach, the American cockroach and the Smoky brown cockroach can also spread bacteria that can sicken people and pets. Because of the health risks associated with roaches, it's important that homeowners take steps to quickly call a Seattle pest control company or to deal with roaches on their own as soon as an infestation is discovered. Choosing the Right Pest Control Products There are a number of types of roach pest control products on the market today. Small infestations may be managed with roach traps, which capture cockroaches with a sticky material and are thrown away when they become full. Bait traps can be effective for larger infestations, as they contain poisonous bait that roaches take back to their nests. There are also natural and synthetic roach sprays that can be applied to areas where cockroaches are known to lurk. These products are often the most effective; however, many of them only work for specific species of cockroaches. This means that homeowners must take the time to find out exactly what type of cockroach is living in their home. It's also important that all of the nests in a home are treated and that products are used carefully in full accordance with the instructions provided. Otherwise, they may not work as intended. Hiring a Seattle Pest Control Company Even when DIY roach pest control products are used correctly, there is still a risk that cockroaches can linger in a Seattle home. Often, homeowners fail to locate all of the roaches, and if consumers aren't able to determine how roaches got in, it's possible that the pests will quickly return. That's why experts typically recommend hiring Seattle exterminators to remove cockroaches from residences in the area. A qualified, professional Seattle pest control company will be able to identify the right insecticides
to use to kill the roaches quickly and will be able to advise homeowners on how to prevent re-infestation.
