Pest control companies are regularly called in to help homeowners to deal with a cockroach infestation. Despite their less appealing attributes, cockroaches are fascinating creatures. Read on to learn more about why these creatures are such persistent pests.

1. Champion Survival Skills: Cockroaches are built to survive in any environment. In fact, roaches are capable of surviving without water for half a month and without food for more than four weeks. Cockroaches can even survive for lengthy periods without a head! Roaches are also long-term survivors—the insect invaders have existed on this planet for millions of years.
2. Nocturnal Behavior: These pests are typically only active during the nighttime. This sleeping pattern allows the pests to search for food and shelter undetected by predators and humans. During the day, cockroaches search for hiding spots behind kitchen appliances and under floorboards. These darkened areas provide the warmth and security that cockroaches need to rest soundly.
3. Tiny Habitats: Roaches can fit through extremely tiny spaces and this ability allows them to be very effective infiltrators. A full-grown insect can squeeze their body into spaces as tiny as the width of a quarter. Cockroaches could also be hiding in numerous spots around your home, so count on a pest control company to find and remove these hidden threats.
4. Plentiful Varieties: There are numerous roach varieties and species that a single homeowner can encounter. In fact, there are thousands of species worldwide and more than 50 located in the United States alone. The most common of these species include the brown-banded cockroach, the American variety, and the German species. Not all cockroaches are pests; some people even keep them as pets! But if you find an unwanted cockroach in your home, it’s time to call a professional pest control service.

Always choose a pest control company that offers effective and green roach removal options. Payne Pest Management can protect your home without hurting the environment. Learn more about our sustainable methods with a call to our Orange County office at (949) 450-9955.
