Cockroaches engage in some seriously disgusting behaviours that can make you ill.

German roaches, the species most often found indoors, are cannibals. They eat the dead bodies, and the feces and vomit, of their nestmates.

Even worse, roaches puke and poop everywhere they go and often travel in garbage and sewers, tracking germs onto every surface they touch. As such, they leave behind pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli on countertops, sinks, stoves -- your toothbrush! -- that contaminate food and spread disease.

Plus, the proteins in cockroach saliva, feces and molting skin can trigger asthma, allergies and breathing difficulties in people who live in infested homes and apartment buildings.

This is why it’s so important to get rid of roaches as soon as you notice signs of activity. Even if you only see one roach, more are likely hiding out of sight.

To eliminate roaches, the experts at Pest HQ recommend following a proven control strategy using nature-based products. A natural approach is key, because you don’t want a roach treatment to be more dangerous to the people and pets in your home than the roaches, themselves.

Pest HQ only sells the best cockroach killers in Canada. Plus, its experts have more than 100 years of experience to help solve your cockroach problems.

Roaches have roamed the Earth for hundreds of millions of years. Over time, they’ve adopted behaviours to ensure their survival, yet it is possible to get rid of them on your own using smart control methods approved by Pest HQ.
