Cockroaches

The bane of urban dwellers worldwide, cockroaches are probably the most universally despised of all insect species. And for good reasons.

Cockroaches reproduce prolifically; if all of the progeny of a single female German cockroach were to survive and breed to their full potential, the population would number in the millions after one year.

Roaches also are quite adept at developing resistance to the pesticides developed to control them. In addition, their secretive habits and their tendency to hide in inaccessible places like wall voids, pipe chases, and the tiniest cracks and crevices makes them difficult to reach with ordinary over-the-counter insect sprays. Professionals use special tools designed to get the products into the areas where roaches are harboring.

Their filthy habits, potential health consequences, and the difficulty of obtaining effective control make cockroach infestations a job for a professional exterminator.
