Cockroaches are a fairly common pest problem in Florida, but their presence in your home or business can quickly become a larger issue if not addressed quickly and properly. Even more, each type of Cockroach requires a different approach to treatment.
Nvirotect Pest Control Services is proud to offer the best pest control in Tampa, and if you are struggling with Cockroaches, we know how to effectively treat every type of Cockroach that you could be dealing with.
American Cockroaches
American Cockroaches are one of the most common types of Cockroaches you can find in Florida. They are among the largest species of Cockroach and measure about 1 ⅜ to 2 ⅛ inches long once fully grown. They have reddish-brown bodies with their signature yellowish band behind their heads, and they have fully developed wings.
What Attracts Them to Your Home or Business
American Cockroaches are attracted to warm, damp environments with access to food. They are commonly found in kitchens, sewers, and drains, though they prefer any space with leaky pipes, food crumbs, and garbage that has not been properly stored.
How to Effectively Treat Them
Because they can enter your property through drains, vents, and small cracks in doors or windows, taking time to seal any potential entry points, as well as regularly maintaining a clean space can help deter American cockroaches from your home or business.
German Cockroaches
Measuring just around ½ inch long, German Cockroaches can be identified by their small, light brown bodies that have two distinct dark stripes running down the back of their head to their neck. Even though they have functional wings, they do not fly. Unlike larger species of cockroaches, they lack flight capabilities despite having functional wings.
What Attracts Them to Your Home or Business
These pests thrive in spaces that are warm and moist, and have plenty of food sources. German Cockroaches can be found in kitchens, bathrooms, and behind appliances and can sneakily enter your home through grocery bags, boxes, or second-hand furniture. Once inside, they reproduce quickly, making them very difficult to control without professional intervention from a Tampa green pest control company like Nvirotect Pest Control Services.
How to Effectively Treat Them
If you are struggling with German Cockroaches in your home or business, call a professional pest control company as soon as possible. German Cockroaches reproduce at an alarmingly fast rate, and a female German Cockroach can produce up to 400 eggs in their lifetime. Nvirotect Pest Control Services offers targeted treatments that focus on eliminating both adult cockroaches and their eggs to make sure that your home and business are free of these pests.
Asian Cockroaches
Asian Cockroaches, especially at first glance, look almost exactly like German Cockroaches. However, they are slightly smaller and narrower, and are strong fliers. While they may rarely make a home in your home, they can still invade properties.
What Attracts Them to Your Home or Business
These cockroaches are drawn to artificial light sources, such as porch lights and indoor lamps. They prefer staying outdoors where there is mulch, grass, and moisture but can enter homes in search of food. Asian Cockroaches tend to enter homes accidentally through open doors or windows while they are being drawn to light sources.
How to Effectively Treat Them
Simply put, reducing outdoor lighting sources, especially when you are not spending time outside, and sealing potential entry points can be effective enough to deter Asian Cockroaches from entering your home or business.
Smokybrown Cockroaches
Smokybrown Cockroaches are larger cockroaches, with dark brown to black bodies that grow to be about 1 to 1 ¼ inches long. They are shiny and smooth and have fully developed wings.
What Attracts Them to Your Home or Business
These cockroaches prefer warm, humid environments and can often be found in attics, crawl spaces, and tree hollows. Smokybrown Cockroaches enter homes through open vents, any gaps in windows or doors, and old firewood or stored items that can be brought in after being outside.
How to Effectively Treat Them
Preventing infestations includes sealing cracks and crevices, keeping outdoor areas clean, and reducing moisture levels inside the home.
