Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I suddenly have roaches?
Roaches often enter through gaps in walls, pipes, or with packages. Changes in weather, nearby construction, or new neighbors can drive them inside seeking food and shelter.
If I see one roach, are there more?
Yes, roaches are social insects. Seeing one, especially during daylight, typically indicates a larger infestation hidden nearby.
How fast do roaches multiply?
Female German roaches can produce up to 50 eggs per case and 4-6 cases in their lifetime. One female and offspring can produce 30,000 roaches in a year.
What's the best roach killer?
A combination of baits, growth regulators, and professional-grade sprays works best. Success requires proper placement and continued treatment.
Can I eliminate roaches myself?
Minor infestations can be controlled with proper sanitation and store-bought products. Severe cases usually require professional intervention.
How long does roach treatment take?
Complete elimination typically takes 2-8 weeks depending on infestation severity. Multiple treatments and ongoing prevention are usually necessary.
Do roaches ever go away on their own?
No, roach populations typically grow larger without intervention. Their rapid reproduction rate means problems worsen over time.
What attracts roaches to my home?
Food, water, warmth, and dark hiding spaces attract roaches. Poor sanitation, leaks, and clutter create ideal conditions for infestations.
How do I prevent roaches naturally?
Maintain cleanliness, fix leaks, seal entry points, reduce clutter, and store food properly. Natural deterrents like bay leaves and diatomaceous earth can help.
Are roaches dangerous to health?
Yes, roaches can trigger asthma, spread bacteria and pathogens, contaminate food, and cause psychological distress. Their presence poses significant health risks.
