Cockroach Extermination in Manassas, VA

Bed Bugs may be the most infamous hitchhiking pests, but roaches are a close second. They most commonly enter our homes in boxes, bags, used furniture, etc. They are on the hunt for sources of food, although, a clean, tidy kitchen with all food properly sealed will not deter them from a home. Roaches can eat almost anything, making them kind of like garbage disposals of the planet. The can consume dust bunnies, rotted foods, paper products, animal excrements, and even some poisonous plants and chemicals. This unrestricted diet means that, while other insects or animals may expire from lack of food, it is exceedingly rare for a roach to run out of things to munch so it’s pretty impossible to starve these pests.

The two most common types of cockroaches in Manassas are American and German cockroaches. German roaches are fairly small and are yellowish in color, while American roaches are larger, reddish in color and have wings. Both types of roaches prefer dark, warm, moist environments like under sinks and near dishwashers and, since they’re flat and very good at crawling through small cracks, it can be easy for them to infiltrate your home to nest in these areas.

Besides being creepy, cockroaches are known for harboring and spreading a variety of diseases that can affect humans.
