The Trick To Effective German Cockroach Control In Bradenton
1/3/2022
When we hear the term ‘cockroach,’ many of us think of big, rust-colored ‘beetles’ scurrying through our homes and lawns. However, there are many species of roach in Bradenton that look nothing like this, including the humble German cockroach.
German cockroaches differ from their American counterparts in several ways:
- German cockroaches appear grey or greyish-brown in color
- Most German roaches are less than 1.6 centimeters long
- The wings of a German cockroach cover most of their carapace
Although German roaches are not quite as large as other species, their adverse effects can be felt around the home.
Problems With Bradenton Cockroaches
The German cockroach spends its time around sewer drains, dumpsters, alleyways, and other moist areas, collecting pathogens as they run. Because of this, these roaches may pose significant health dangers to both people and their pets. It’s a good idea to establish staunch prevention steps as soon as possible, especially in residential environments.
How To Prevent German Cockroach Infestations With Prevention Steps
If you have not yet experienced a German cockroach problem around your home or recently had an infestation eliminated with Keller’s Pest Control, it would be wise to start establishing some prevention steps as soon as possible.
Below are some of the most vetted tips for homeowners trying to stop German cockroaches from getting inside:
-
All potential entry points (including cracks and gaps around windows and doors) should be adequately sealed. Waterproof foam or a paint sealant should be applied regularly to reduce pest incursions.
-
Locate and repair any moisture issues inside the house. Pay close attention to pipes or drains that are not working correctly, and consider finding better methods of moisture reduction. Dehumidifiers and desiccant packets are excellent places to start.
-
Perform a deep cleaning and decluttering of your home, regularly removing unwanted items, boxes, furniture, and other clutter.
-
Keep the food in your home stored behind airtight bins.
-
Garbage should be kept inside proper containers and taken out of the house frequently.
These prevention tips are a great way to start your cockroach control journey. However, they may not be enough to eliminate growing problems on their own. If German cockroaches are beginning to become a nuisance around your Bradenton property, call Keller’s Pest Control right away.
