Cockroaches

What are Cockroaches?

In Texas, common cockroaches include American, Smokey Brown, Oriental, Asian, and German species. These oval-shaped pests range from 13mm to 50mm in length and are usually dark tan, brown, or black. Cockroaches prefer to live in dark, warm, and damp areas where they can easily hide and breed. While some species have wings, they rarely rely on flying to get around.

Are Cockroaches Dangerous in Offices?

Cockroaches may not bite or directly damage your office, but they pose serious health risks to families. They crawl through garbage, sewage, and even animal carcasses, picking up harmful bacteria that can contaminate food, kitchen surfaces, and floors.

Cockroaches are linked to diseases such as:

• Cholera
  
• Typhoid fever
  
• Dysentery
  
• Salmonella
  

Because of these risks, addressing a cockroach infestation quickly is critical to keeping you safe.

Why Do I Have a Cockroach Problem at the Office?

Cockroaches invade Commercial spaces looking for four basic needs: food, warmth, shelter, and moisture. Offices with accessible food sources, open trash, or water leaks are particularly attractive to them. Entry points through cracks, gaps, or poorly sealed areas make it even easier for roaches to get inside.

Where Will I Find Cockroaches in My Office?

Cockroaches seek out hidden areas that provide darkness, moisture, and access to food. Inside offices, they are most often found in:

• Kitchens (under sinks, appliances, or cabinets)
  
• Bathrooms
  
• Laundry rooms
  
• Basements
  
• Behind or underneath storage areas
  

Locating these hiding places is the first step in effectively eliminating an infestation.
