Cockroach Extermination in Herndon, VA

Cockroaches are infamously resilient, durable creatures. They can survive without their heads, go weeks without food, consume almost anything as sustenance, and are even extremely resistant to nuclear radiation. Being such hardy creatures, it’s not shocking to find that these insects have been roaming Earth for millions of years. In fact, evidence suggests that ancient cockroaches may have withstood several massive extinction events in history, allowing cockroaches to live amongst us today.

In Herndon, one of the most common roaches you may come across is the German Cockroach. Scientifically known as the Blattella Germanica or B. Germanica, these roaches are sometimes referred to as the roach that gives all roaches a bad name. They have the greatest reproductive potential in comparison to all species of roaches, producing up to 400 offspring in their super short lifetimes. German cockroaches are light brown with two dark bands on their heads, tan-colored wings, and measuring, on average, 12.7cm to 15.8cm in length. Their nymphs are darker in color than the adults and tend to have a light streak of brown down the center of their backs, while their oothecas (egg sacks) are reddish-brown, bean-shaped capsules with small vertical lines striping its service.

Unfortunately, recent studies have begun to show that different species of pest roaches are slowly evolving to be more resistant to treatments, making them even harder to get rid of.
