Gresham Cockroach Control Service
Cockroaches are one of the hardiest species on planet earth – scientists believe they have been around since the time T. Rex walked the earth. Not only have they survived, they have thrived in a wide variety of conditions, particularly those habitats that are warm and wet. No wonder they’re so difficult to get rid of. With over 4600 known species, cockroaches are related to termites biologically, but their behavior is different.
| Characteristic | Description |
|---|---|
| Color | A shade of brown to black |
| Length | Adults can range from 1.5 to 2 inches |
| Appearance | Long antennae, single oval shaped body | Colony Size | 25 and more, though we hope not to find them in colonies |
| Breeding | Female American cockroaches can produce up to 150 young over the course of her life |
| Where they live | Roaches prefer to have a dark, moist environment to hide and breed. Cupboards, behind refrigerators, and under sinks and drains are favorites. |
| Food Source | Decaying plants, dead wood, waste and sewage |
| Behavior Notes | They are social insects related to termites, though cockroach relationships are not as structured as in a termite colony. |
| Signs of presence | A bad smell lingers where roaches are present. Brown/black cylindrical droppings approximately 1/8 inches long will be found near their nesting grounds. Homeowners may also find shed cockroach skins in the vicinity. |
| Risks | Bacterial diseases such as salmonella can be spread by cockroaches, especially if they get into food stores. All the more reason to eradicate them quickly. |
