Pest Control Pre-Cautions
Roaches

Cockroaches are most common in tropical and subtropical climates. Some species are in close association with human dwellings and widely found around garbage or in the kitchen.
A female cockroach carries an egg capsule containing around 40 eggs. She drops the capsule prior to hatching. Development from eggs to adults takes 3-4 months. Cockroaches live up to a year. The female may produce up to eight egg cases in a lifetime; in favorable conditions, it can produce 300-400 offspring.
Roaches can remain active for a month without food. Some can go without air for 45 minutes or slow down their heart rate.

Not only do cockroaches contaminate food by leaving droppings and bacteria that can cause food poisoning, they also have been recently identified as a major contributor to allergies, asthma, and other breathing problems.

The cerci at the tip of the abdomen are stubby; whereas the American cockroach has long, thin cerci. The brown cockroach is found outdoors. It readily enters houses and is often called a palmetto bug.
