About Cockroaches
Cockroaches are among the most resilient pests in Northeast Florida, thriving in warm, dark, and damp environments like kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and crawl spaces. Known for their ability to adapt and survive, cockroaches are not just unsightly — they are also a serious health hazard. They spread bacteria, contaminate food, and can trigger asthma and allergies, especially in children.
Why They’re a Problem
Contaminate food, utensils, and food preparation areas.
Spread bacteria and pathogens such as salmonella and E. coli.
Trigger asthma and allergy symptoms, especially in sensitive individuals.
Breed rapidly, making infestations difficult to control without professional help.
Can survive on very little food and water, making them persistent invaders.
Signs of a Cockroach Infestation
Droppings resembling coffee grounds or black pepper.
Strong, musty odor in infested areas.
Egg cases (oothecae) hidden in cracks and crevices.
Shed skins and smear marks near walls or baseboards.
Seeing roaches scatter when lights are turned on.
Other Companies
Some pest control providers rely on general sprays that only kill roaches on contact. This leaves eggs and hidden populations untouched, allowing infestations to quickly rebound.
