Roaches 101: What You Need to Know
Roaches are more than just creepy — they’re one of the most stubborn pests to eliminate. At The Bedbugsters, we now offer targeted roach treatments to help you reclaim your home or business from these resilient intruders.
What Are Roaches?
Roaches (cockroaches) are fast-moving, nocturnal insects that thrive in warm, dark, and moist environments. The most common types found indoors include:
• German Roaches – small, tan-colored, and often found in kitchens and bathrooms.
• American Roaches – larger reddish-brown roaches that can also fly.
• Oriental Roaches – darker and slower, often found in basements or drains.
Why Roaches Are a Problem
• They spread germs – Roaches crawl through garbage, drains, and bathrooms, carrying bacteria and allergens with them.
• They multiply quickly – A single female German roach can produce hundreds of offspring in her lifetime.
• They hide well – Roaches love tight cracks, appliance motors, walls, and even inside electronics. Infestations can go unnoticed until they’re widespread.
How Do Roaches Get Inside?
• Through cracks and crevices
• In grocery bags, boxes, or appliances
• From shared walls in apartments and multi-unit housing
• Via plumbing lines and drains. Once inside, roaches settle where there’s food, water, and shelter.
