Cockroach -There are about 4,000 species of cockroaches, of which 30 species are associated with human habitations and about four species are well known as pests. American, German, Oriental and Brown banded. Since many of these roaches can be controlled by the same products we have chosen to list the products in two groups, ' Inside Roach Products ' and ' Outside Roach Products '.(see 'Category' menu in the left column)

Cleaning - Cockroaches leave chemical trails in their feces as well as emitting airborne pheromones for swarming and mating. Other cockroaches will follow these trails to discover sources of food and water, and also discover where other cockroaches are hiding. This means that cleaning with warm soapy water and a rag or sponge before treatment will aid in ridding roaches from the structure. Clean areas where you have seen roaches, like cabinets, counter tops and baseboards. Odor Elimination Products

Cockroaches are one of the most commonly noted household pest insects. They feed on human and pet food, and can leave an offensive odor. They can also passively transport microbes on their body surfaces including those that are potentially dangerous to humans, particularly in environments such as hospitals. Cockroaches have been shown to be linked with allergic reactions in humans. One of the proteins that triggers allergic reactions has been identified as tropomyosin. These allergens have also been found to be linked with asthma.

General preventive measures against household pests include keeping all food stored away in sealed containers, using garbage cans with a tight lid, frequent cleaning in the kitchen, and regular vacuuming. Any water leaks, such as dripping taps, should also be repaired. It is also helpful to seal off any entry points, such as holes around baseboards, in between kitchen cabinets, pipes , doors, and windows with some steel wool or copper mesh and some cement, putty or silicone caulk.
