Cockroaches: Public Enemy #1
Only a handful of species commonly infest U.S. homes and businesses—including German, American, Oriental, Brown-banded, Smoky-brown, Australian, Field, Asian, Brown, and Wood roaches.
Cockroaches survive anywhere—from sewers to kitchens—and eat virtually anything. As they move from filth to food, they spread dangerous pathogens. Their bodies and secretions can contaminate food with bacteria that cause gastroenteritis, diarrhea, vomiting, and dysentery. Cockroach allergens can trigger severe asthma, and some species transmit serious diseases, including Salmonella and hepatitis.
Cleanliness alone won’t prevent infestations, but a clean environment helps stop population explosions and speeds elimination. If roaches appear, immediate treatment is essential.
Lone Pine Exterminating has performed over 25,000 successful clean-outs, sometimes eliminating infestations with a single application, though multiple treatments are often necessary. Proper identification ensures the right insecticide is used in the right place with minimal exposure. Always handle insects with protective gloves.
