Best Cockroach Control Services in Bangalore

The scary thing is that cockroaches can carry some serious diseases. Salmonella Typhi, which causes Typhoid, has been found in cockroaches. Poliomyelitis, which causes Polio, has also been found in these insects. They can also cause Dysentery, a disease that causes severe diarrhoea that may include bleeding. Generally, Cockroaches are omnivores that eat plants and meat. They have been recorded to eat human flesh of both the living and the dead, although they are more likely to take a bite of fingernails, eyelashes, feet and hands. The bites may cause irritation, lesions and swelling. Some have suffered from minor wound infections.

Cockroach Droppings: Cockroach faeces will be visible during an infestation. Small roaches produce faeces that resemble coffee grounds or black pepper, while larger roaches expel cylindrical droppings. The quantity of visible faeces is oftentimes a good indicator of the level or duration of infestation.

Unpleasant Odours: Some species emit unpleasant smells. In the event of serious infestation, a strong oily or musty odour may be present. The bodies of dead cockroaches can also be found throughout the house.

Cockroach Eggs: Oval-shaped egg cases, known as oothecae, are sometimes visible behind furniture and in other hidden locations, such as the spaces between books.

Cockroaches prefer warm, moist places to live. Your house will suits well for them. They’ll find plenty to drink, especially if you have a leaky faucet. They’ll find so much to eat between the crumbs you didn’t know you dropped or the trash bag that left uncovered. Even killing a cockroach attracts more if you don’t clean up the mess right away or if you deposit that squished cockroach in the trash.

When you squish the cockroach, it secretes a liquid. Other roaches smell it and will come running. The next time you find yourself wondering, “Why don’t cockroaches die?” after you just sprayed, it may be because the cockroach produces natural detoxification mechanisms. They can live in dirty areas because of the antimicrobial peptides that go into hemolymph – and that is the juice that squirts out when you do squish a cockroach.

                           Eliminate food sources by storing dry foods in tightly sealed containers or in sealed plastic bags and do not leave food sitting out on counters. Do not leave liquids in sinks or buckets. Clear all waste food and liquid spillage by cleaning up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and appliances. Empty the rubbish on a daily basis and keep all garbage or compost in sealed bins. Rinse cans, bottles and plastics – before putting them in recycling bins. De-clutter – remove old stacks of newspapers and magazines, unused cardboard boxes and all other forms of clutter from the floor or bottom of cupboards. Cockroaches release an aggregation pheromone in their droppings telling others they have found a safe harborage. Varnish or paint wood shelves to seal them, and wipe them clean regularly. Seal entry points – to deny access to cockroaches. Key risks are gaps around pipes, drains and common walls with neighbouring properties when dealing with German, Oriental and American cockroaches. Even tiny cracks around skirting boards and behind electrical sockets should be plugged to reduce potential hiding areas.
