Cockroach Control Bronx
We believe that solving cockroach infestation calls for a hands-on approach to the situation. The first step involves a diagnosis of the situation to understand the nature of the damage and the type responsible for it.
It’s crucial for Bronx County Pest Control to determine whether you are under attack from roaches or if it’s water bugs that are the problem. Identifying what exactly is attracting cockroaches to your home also helps prevent cockroaches finding their way back, now and in future too.
A Complete Examination
The moment our exterminators land at your home, they undertake a visual assessment of the premises. This is the most basic but the most important aspect of our work. Only the trained eye of our technicians can look out for tell-tale signs and explore further.
Basic preparation for the actual assignment includes clearing kitchen cabinets of food and eatables. Remember, foodstuff storage areas are the primary nesting places for cockroaches because eatables are stored there.
Once this is done with, we can easily examine the magnitude of roach infestation and estimate the damage and its extent. While it’s easy to neutralize cockroaches roaming around in plain sight, it takes the trained eye of Bronx County Pest Control technicians to identify the hiding spots. It is these hideaways that must be aggressively targeted for the cockroach problem to be effectively solved.
Cockroach Control Bronx: What Attracts Cockroaches
Understanding what attracts cockroaches is an important part of our strategy to cockroach extermination – not only in the present but future too. Just as people do, roaches require food, drink, and shelter. That is precisely why the storage cabinets constructed near the kitchen sinks and water supply provide the perfect base for many cockroach species to multiply. To remove roaches from your home, we prevent their access to the three basic requirements mentioned above.
Meticulously clearing every crumb and cleaning the surfaces exposed to foodstuffs is vital to Bronx County Pest Control procedures across the house. The presence of roach feces is an indication of major infestation. Emptying the kitchen cabinets allows us to spot fecal matter or residues deposited by roaches along the walls or in corners.
Identify Cockroach Infestation
During mass infestations, roaches entrench themselves in the walls, and our technicians need lots of time to locate the cockroach nests and determine the right chemical combination and the dosage to eliminate all the prevailing life cycles of water bugs or American cockroaches.
Broken or leaking pipes connected to the kitchen plumbing can immensely help roaches thrive in your home. Further generations of cockroaches can be prevented from nesting in your home by cleaning the potential havens and removing the sources of nourishment.
Cockroach Control Bronx: How to Deal with Roaches
Although there are many types of roaches, two of the most commonly found species are the water bug, known as the oriental cockroach, and the American cockroach. Water bugs are one of the cockroach species that appear to have shorter appendages and are known as oriental cockroaches or black beetles.
American roaches measure about 2 inches long and are typically half an inch longer than German cockroaches, which are non-aggressive, unlike the water bugs. Roaches are usually non-aggressive and are scavengers by nature.
When Bronx County Pest Control exterminators enter the scene, they go directly for the kill by targeting the crux of the cockroach problem, most commonly centered in the kitchen and dining areas of the building.
From the kitchen, we spread out to cover every crevice harboring cockroaches. Our strategy focuses on entire families and eggs of cockroaches to rule out future infestations by the pest. After we eliminate the infestations, we can prevent these water bugs from returning, by refusing them food and shelter.
