Best Pest Control Roaches – Springfield Missouri

Pest control roaches is best left to the pros if you want effective, safe treatment for roach infestations. Expert Pest Solutions is the one to call for pest control roaches in Springfield Missouri.

 

A common misconception regarding homes with roaches is that they are there because of an unclean environment. Not true. Well, it IS true that dirty homes may have a roach problem, but just about anybody can have roaches whether the house is clean or dirty – they come in with the groceries (in bags and boxes). They can infiltrate electronic devices so if you buy a used refrigerator, for example, they can be hiding inside and just transfer to your house.

 

It’s cold outside and roaches along with many other species of pests start moving indoors in winter looking for a warm place to nest. There are many ways roaches get in – cracks in the foundation or sidewalk, wooden structures outside of your home, windows or plumbing access – they are small, they can enter the home just about anywhere. So sorry, folks, but even if your home is as clean as a pin, you can still get roaches.

 

Having said that – how can you tell if you have a roach infestation? Most people can handle the occasional bug seen in the house, but a cockroach racing across the floor or wall is quite different. It is a disgusting cockroach, after all! If you see one, chances are there are more where that one came from. They like to hide out when there is activity going on in the home. But just turn the lights out at night and let things settle down – that’s when they will make an appearance.

 

Once inside, roaches build nests and quickly multiply. They can be found anywhere inside the home where there is a food and water supply. Leaky sinks or other plumbing provide water. Food that has been left out is a great source for a meal. For effective pest control Springfield Missouri, homeowners should take steps to prevent them coming inside, and eliminate the sources for food and water. Fix the leaks, stop up the cracks and keep food covered!

 

• In your home, you need to clear out any clutter, especially in the kitchen and pantry areas. Get rid of your collection of plastic store bags (donate them for recycling); toss out empty boxes and miscellaneous containers and old stacks of newspapers.
• Check for water leaks and fix any you find. Roaches need water more than they need food, so if you find leaky pipes or standing water anywhere in your home (be sure to check the basement around the water heater and washing machine), take care of it immediately.
• Maintain a clean house, especially the kitchen and dining room. Clean up food sources – crumbs, leftovers, pet food. Don’t leave the sink full of dirty dishes and sweep the floor after cooking. Store leftover food in airtight containers. Vacuum carpets and shake loose area rugs outdoors frequently, and vacuum your furniture, especially upholstered furniture where people eat (den, movie room).
• Check around windows and doors and other areas that roaches can gain access to from outside; seal up gaps around plumbing pipes using flexible caulking, and patch cracks and crevices in the foundation or porches and sidewalks near the house.

All of these steps will help with pest control roaches, but they won’t eliminate the problem entirely. Chemical sprays and other over-the-counter treatments might kill the roaches that you see, but they don’t kill the ones in hiding or the eggs (and they lay eggs everywhere!) You’re going to need a professional treatment plan for this.

A one-roach problem can quickly go from bad to worse as their numbers drastically increase. And once they become established they are prolific breeders capable of producing several thousand offspring in a year. Time to call in the pros!
