Common cockroach myths
You're a dirty person if you have cockroaches:
False: Cockroaches can travel between homes through cracks and utility voids, regardless of how clean your home is, if they find food they will stay.
They have and spread diseases.
False: Cockroaches don't actually carry the diseases themselves, they do however touch contaminated food and then transport it on their bodies.
Cockroaches are afraid of light.
False: Cockroaches are naturally nocturnal but this does not mean they are afraid of the light. The reason they scurry when a light is turned on is because they are afraid of YOU.
No problem! We've got you covered!
Cockroaches are one of the oldest and most adaptable insects known to man. Certain species have learned to scavenge and grow solely from human food sources. They like dark, moist places with easy access to food. The kitchen is the most common place for infestation.
Cockroaches are not only a nuisance, but they bring with them many health concerns:
- They make pre-existing conditions such as asthma worse.
- Their bodies and body parts can produce allergic reactions in some humans.
- Their secretions leave behind unpleasant odors.
- They can transport disease causing bacteria and viruses on their bodies.

- Egg Shells: Check behind your books or plates on shelves for small dark brown cases.
- Shed Skin: Check along the walls for molted skin, often times you will find complete body casings.
- Droppings: Cockroach fecal matter often looks like small black sand. The larger the roach, the larger the droppings.
