The Risks of Cockroach Infestations

The risks of not addressing cockroach infestations in a timely manner can include:

• Health hazards: Cockroaches can act as carriers of pathogens that have the potential to cause severe health issues such as salmonellosis, gastroenteritis, and allergies.
• Food contamination: Their presence poses a substantial threat to hygiene as they can contaminate food and cooking surfaces with their feces and shed skin, leading to a heightened risk of foodborne illnesses.
• Asthma triggers: The allergens produced by cockroaches can exacerbate asthma symptoms, particularly in children and those sensitive to respiratory irritants.
• Structural damage: Their relentless gnawing behavior damage insulation and electrical wiring, thereby increasing the risk of potential fire hazards within your home or business. 
• Reputation damage: Beyond the immediate health and safety concerns, a cockroach infestation can tarnish the reputation of a business, impacting customer perceptions and possibly including legal and financial repercussions.

Given the far-reaching implications of these risks, swift and comprehensive action should be taken. 

What to Do When You See a Cockroach 

The first, and most important step is to reach out to CVA Exterminators promptly. We’ll come out there as quickly as possible to perform a thorough inspection and develop an appropriate treatment plan. 

In the meantime, there are proactive steps property owners can take: 

• Minimize food sources: Depriving cockroaches of sustenance is essential in curbing their presence. Seal food containers, clean up crumbs, and eliminate any standing water, thereby rendering the environment less hospitable to cockroaches.
• Reduce hiding places: Cockroaches thrive in secluded spaces. Declutter your living area, seal cracks and crevices, and fix leaks to minimize potential hiding spots, disrupting their habitat and making it more difficult for them to establish a presence.
• Use natural repellents: Employing natural deterrents such as peppermint oil or diatomaceous earth can discourage cockroach activity without causing harm to you, your family, your employees, or the local ecosystem.
• Keep it clean: Regularly cleaning and sanitizing the space diminishes the factors that attract and sustain cockroach populations.
