Effective Strategies to Eliminate Cockroaches

Cockroaches are resilient pests that can quickly multiply and infest various areas of your property. They are known to carry disease-causing organisms, contaminate food, and trigger allergies and asthma in sensitive individuals. To effectively combat these pests, it is crucial to understand their habits and characteristics.

There are several species of cockroaches, with the most common being the German cockroach, American cockroach, and Oriental cockroach. Each species has distinct characteristics and habits, which can influence the most appropriate pest control measures.

Identifying Cockroach Species

Cockroaches
There are about 30 species of cockroaches that are associated with human habitats. The most common species we have in the Coachella Valley are: The American Cockroach, Oriental Cockroach, German Cockroach, and Brown-banded Cockroach. These pests prefer warm conditions found in and around buildings. Cockroaches leave behind chemical trails in their feces, as well as airborne pheromones for swarming and mating. These chemical trails can transmit bacteria onto surfaces. Cockroaches also can pick up disease causing bacteria like salmonella on their legs and later transfer them on foods and cause food poisoning.

"Very Professional. Newman pest controls services are effective. I had all the typical bugs we usually get such as: crickets, black widows, ants, and some palmetto bugs. I get these pests every year but this year has been the worst compared to all the years I've been out here in the desert. I called Newman Pest control and Erik the owner personally came out to service my home. He did an amazing job for a good price and was honest about all my pest concerns. I decided to do a bi-monthly service to keep all the pests under control. I highly recommend using Newman you will be satisfied."

"Had some bed bugs problem in a house I just took over. Called up different companies. Erik had the most reasonable price and came out the next day to spray as I was expecting visitors for the weekend and I didn't want them sleeping with bed bugs yukk.... Erik said it would take at least a month for the bed bugs to be cleared but after the one spray it seems like it did the job. Thanks so much Erik for helping me in a pinch. Will definitely call again if need be"

Signs of Infestation

Detecting a cockroach infestation early is essential to prevent it from spreading and causing further damage. Look out for signs such as: 

  • Foul odor: Cockroaches emit a distinctive musty smell that intensifies as their numbers grow.
  • Droppings: Small, dark droppings resembling coffee grounds or pepper can be found near their hiding places.
  • Shed skins: Cockroaches shed their skin as they grow, leaving behind translucent exoskeletons.
  • Egg cases: Cockroach eggs are often found in hidden corners, crevices, or within food packaging.
