Cockroaches are vectors of diseases such as dysentery, gastroenteritis, typhoid fever, and poliomyelitis. Their diet is omnivorous and includes ferments, dirty bandages, hair, leather, wallpaper, their own and other feces, and food for human consumption. Without proper control of cockroach pests, cockroaches can become contaminated either by mechanical or fecal transmission of pathogens from the insect’s body. Cockroaches can also cause allergic reactions. asthma.
Cockroaches reproduce at an alarming rate. The egg sac (egg case) of the German cockroach (Blattella germanica) contains 30 to 48 larvae. These larvae (nymphs) reach sexual maturity after about 10 weeks.
For many years, insecticide sprays and contact dust were the only ways to control cockroach infestations. Such cockroach pest control treatments rely on direct contact of insects with pesticides. Unfortunately, small colonies of pests often go unnoticed because they live deep inside structures and equipment. Experience has shown that genetic resistance has emerged in many areas due to increased spray abuse and inadequate insecticide rotation.
Epic Pest technicians are trained in new concepts in cockroach pest control. We use a variety of gel baits that provide a real food source for pests. This makes the treatment very effective. Gelbait has been available to the industry in various forms for several years, but few companies have invested the time and field research required to realize its potential.
Epic Pest is now ready to conduct a full eradication program. This is unmatched by most other pest control companies when it comes to cockroach eradication.
