Cockroach infestations are not only extremely unpleasant, but also very persistent. Cockroaches are true survival artists and extremely resilient, which must be taken into account when combating them. Cockroaches are omnivores that spend their days in cracks, crevices, pipes and exhaust ducts. They like warmth and moisture and often appear in groups, where they orient themselves with the help of scents. They prefer to infest locations and rooms in which there are always large accumulations of food residues, e.g. kitchens, bakeries, food storage areas, etc. Cockroaches can transmit various infectious diseases via hospitalization, including anthrax, tuberculosis, salmonella, fungal diseases and many more. In addition to the disgust factor, there is also a major health risk. As cockroaches do not have fixed breeding sites, but simply drop their oothecae (egg packages) shortly before hatching, the insects must be controlled directly. Precise identification of the cockroach species is essential to ensure successful control. Our IHK-certified pest controllers determine the type of cockroach, check the level of infestation and determine the most effective method of control, taking all factors into account.
