Frequently Asked Questions
How did cockroaches get into my clean home?
Cockroaches often hitchhike in boxes, grocery bags, or used furniture. They can also enter through tiny gaps around pipes, vents, and doors. Even clean homes can attract roaches if entry points and moisture sources exist.
Do cockroaches spread disease?
Yes, cockroaches can spread bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli by contaminating food and surfaces. Their droppings and shed skins also trigger allergies and asthma, particularly in children. Professional treatment is recommended.
