October is upon us, and as the temperature drops, you might notice some unwanted guests—cockroaches—seeking refuge in your homes or offices. Especially in Maryland, where various roach species thrive, the risk of an infestation becomes a genuine concern. Bug Squashers of Maryland has been at the forefront of battling these resilient pests, and here we provide you with an all-inclusive guide to roach control this season.
Cooler weather pushes roaches to seek warmer habitats, often migrating indoors. They favor dark, tight spaces and usually come out to search for food and water at night.
A cleaner environment will be less inviting to roaches. The spotlight is on your living spaces, garages, gates, and other storage areas.
It's essential to recognize that Maryland is home to various roaches. The visibility of cockroaches during daylight hours usually indicates a more extensive infestation. If you see such signs, it's time to contact professionals like Bug Squashers immediately.
These insects can grow quite large, some measuring up to 2 inches long. They have six legs and two long antennae. Although some species possess wings, most are not capable of flight.
Roaches are notorious for spreading diseases primarily because they frequent areas with garbage and food waste.
Roach feces may resemble brown coffee grounds and are often found in cabinets, pantries, or behind appliances. Larger infestations will have more significant amounts of manure.
Look for brown, oblong egg sacs, usually in cracks and crevices. These sacs may contain up to 50 eggs and are a surefire sign of a growing infestation.
A strong, musty smell often accompanies a large roach infestation. It may be time for a professional inspection if you notice an unusual odor.
We employ various methods to tackle each infestation uniquely, utilizing gel baits, growth regulators, chemical insecticides, and sometimes powders.
We use industry-leading products like Gentrol IGR to eradicate roaches from residential and commercial properties effectively.
