Cockroaches are a common sight in homes around the United States, and homes in Kittitas County are no exception. As a homeowner in the area, you will have to deal with them sooner or later. Cockroach infestations can grow rapidly, and roaches can bring diseases with them, endangering you and your family. Roaches are family insects, and if one moves in, more are soon to follow. Once established, roach infestations can be very difficult to eliminate.

Don’t let cockroaches infest your home and potentially jeopardize your health. Prosite knows how to get rid of cockroaches. Call us today, and let us help you with all of your Kittitas County pest control needs.

How To Identify An American Cockroach

Cockroaches come in all shapes and sizes, and the characteristics of cockroaches vary between the species. The American cockroach, however, is the most commonly encountered. Here are some ways to identify them:

  • Viewed from above, they are long and oval. American roaches reach up to an inch and a half long. They are very flat in profile.
  • They have wings, but only tend to fly for short distances. They fly if threatened.
  • American roaches are a rich, dark brown, with large antennae on their heads.
  • American roaches have six legs and can run quite fast when they sense danger.

Although roaches are easy to identify, they can be difficult to remove. Infestations can seem to come out of nowhere and can be bigger than they seem. If you want to get rid of roaches in your home, contact Prosite. We know how to kill cockroaches fast.

American Cockroaches Spread Dangerous Pathogens In Your Home

A cockroach in your house is not just unsightly; it also bears the risk of bringing diseases into your home. Cockroaches love to forage in dirty, filthy environments; the nastier, the better. These areas are often tainted with dangerous things like salmonella, E. coli, listeria, and campylobacter. If a roach brings these things into your home, it can spread them to your counters, dinnerware, cabinets, and furniture just by walking over them. Touching these things afterward can transfer the disease-causing agents to you, and you can get sick without even seeing a roach.

Do not risk catching diseases from cockroaches. Your health is far too important. Contact us today, and Prosite can partner with you to eliminate roaches from your home.

Why It Is So Difficult To Get Rid Of American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are actually highly social insects. They love living in large families, and are close-knit. Once an infestation enters your home, it will rapidly grow. Roaches can lay up to 48 eggs at a time, and roaches are experts at hiding everywhere in a home. They are naturally wary and able to detect danger from long distances. DIY roach treatments often prove ineffective because of these factors. Infestations can continue, and even grow worse.

Do not take a chance of continuing roach infestations or having roach infestations get worse. Prosite can eliminate roach infestations safely and effectively. Call us today, and let us help you get rid of roaches.
