The Dangers of a Cockroach Infestation

Cockroaches are more than just unsightly pests; they are significant threats to a healthy living environment. They thrive in unsanitary conditions and can easily transfer harmful pathogens throughout your kitchen, bathrooms, and living areas. Understanding the risks they pose underscores the urgency of complete elimination.

• Spread of Bacteria and Pathogens: Cockroaches are known to carry bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli on their bodies, which they can transfer to food, countertops, and utensils, leading to food poisoning and other illnesses.
• Allergens and Asthma Triggers: Cockroach droppings, saliva, and shed body parts contain potent allergens. For many people, especially children, exposure to these allergens can trigger serious asthma attacks and allergic reactions.
• Food Contamination: Roaches are indiscriminate eaters and will contaminate any uncovered food they can access. They can chew through packaging like paper and cardboard, leaving behind filth and bacteria.
• Unpleasant Odors: Large cockroach infestations produce a distinct, unpleasant, and musty odor that can permeate a home, stemming from their secretions and droppings.
• Psychological Distress: Living with a cockroach infestation can cause significant stress, anxiety, and embarrassment, impacting your family's overall sense of well-being and security in your own home.

Because of these serious health implications, a cockroach problem should never be ignored. Swift and thorough professional intervention is the only way to safeguard your family's health and property.

Our Entomologist-Led Cockroach Elimination Method

At Parkway Pest Services, we combat cockroach infestations with a scientific strategy developed by our Board-Certified Entomologists. We know that simply spraying the pests you see is a failing approach. Our method focuses on the entire lifecycle and nesting habits of cockroaches to achieve total elimination.

• Comprehensive Inspection and Identification: Our certified technician will first identify the specific species of cockroach in your Rye home, as different species (like German or American) require different treatment strategies. We then locate their hiding places, pathways, and entry points.
• Targeted Baiting and Treatments: We utilize a combination of advanced, low-impact baits and targeted insecticide applications in areas inaccessible to people and pets. These professional-grade products are carried back to the nest, eliminating the entire colony at its source.
• Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs): As part of our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, we may use IGRs. These products disrupt the cockroaches' reproductive cycle, preventing immature roaches from developing into breeding adults and stopping the infestation from rebounding.
• Exclusion and Prevention Advice: The final step is prevention. Our expert will provide detailed recommendations on how to seal potential entry points and eliminate food and water sources to make your home less attractive to future infestations.

This multi-faceted, science-based approach ensures we not only eradicate your current cockroach problem but also empower you with the knowledge and tools to keep them from coming back.

Why Store-Bought Roach Killers Don't Work

Over-the-counter sprays only kill the few cockroaches you see, while the majority of the population remains safe within walls and voids. Professional baits are strategically placed to be carried back to the nest, creating a domino effect that eliminates the colony, including the queen and nymphs.

Cockroaches are notoriously resilient and can develop resistance to common pesticides found in retail products. Professionals have access to a wider range of advanced, rotating materials that overcome this resistance, ensuring the treatment is effective where DIY methods have repeatedly failed.

The key to long-term control is finding and sealing entry points. A professional inspector is trained to identify the tiny cracks and gaps around pipes, vents, and foundations that roaches use to get in. Without this crucial exclusion work, new infestations are inevitable.
