Cockroaches have been around for a million years, and they’ll probably be around for a million more. But that doesn’t mean they should be living in your house! We are Ottawa’s best pest control and we make sure the evolution of the cockroach stops at your front door.
Cockroach behaviour
Cockroaches lived with dinosaurs and somehow managed to outlive them by demonstrating incredible skills of adaption. Now they infest our homes, apartments, office buildings or anywhere that’s warm and provides a food and water source. Their bodies are incredibly efficient and can live without food for a month and water for at least two weeks.
How to spot a cockroach infestation
Cockroaches are nocturnal and tend to thrive in and around water pipes and places that are dark, warm, and moist. You likely won’t see them during the day, but you may catch them by surprise one night as they scatter back to safety under the sudden light.
Precautions that should be taken
No matter how spotless your house is, there's always a possibility that cockroaches can be unknowingly carried into your home inside a grocery bag, but there are a few precautions you can take to discourage them from taking up permanent residence.
Keep your home swept and vacuumed. Repair leaks as soon as they’re detected. Seal up cracks and fill in holes in woodwork, around doors and windows. Pay attention to changes in the condition of your home on the inside and out. Take note of any strong musky odors that may develop as this may indicate a full blown infestation.
Know when to call in the professionals
It’s important to take action at the first sign of cockroaches in your home. Their numbers can multiply quite rapidly making them difficult to control as the infestation spreads.
