What are the signs of an Oriental or Brown-banded cockroach infestation?
Signs of an infestation include spotting live cockroaches, especially in dark, moist areas like basements and bathrooms (for Oriental cockroaches) or around warm, dry areas like ceilings and behind appliances (for Brown-banded cockroaches). Additional signs include droppings, shed skins, and egg cases.
If you suspect an infestation, Magna Pest Solutions offers a free inspection to assess the severity of the problem. Our specialists will quickly identify the infestation and provide targeted treatment options.
Where might you find Oriental and Brown-banded cockroaches?
Oriental cockroaches prefer damp areas and are often found in basements, crawl spaces, and drains.
Brown-banded cockroaches tend to favor warmer, drier locations like ceilings, behind appliances, and cabinets.
Both species are widely distributed and thrive in urban environments, making regular inspections and preventative measures essential.
When are roach invasions likely to occur?
Roaches are active year-round, but infestations are more noticeable in warmer months. During this time, they may enter homes seeking food and moisture. Brown-banded cockroaches are especially resilient to drier conditions, while Oriental cockroaches thrive in humid environments.
Regular inspections, particularly during the warmer months, combined with Magna Pest Solutions’ Premium Pest Protection, will keep your home protected from roaches and other pests. Seasonal treatments can also address any specific pest challenges during peak times.
Why should I get rid of Oriental and Brown-banded cockroaches?
Both species can spread bacteria and pathogens, contaminating surfaces and food. They pose a risk to human health, especially in homes with children or individuals with allergies or asthma. Additionally, their presence in large numbers can cause structural damage to homes and buildings.
By removing these pests, you can ensure a safer, cleaner, and healthier environment. Magna Pest Solutions offers effective treatments to keep your home roach-free year-round.
