Dealing with cockroaches can be frustrating. They have unique survival tactics, and this makes it difficult to eliminate them using DIY roach control methods. Here are some adaptations that make it hard to control these pests.

Why DIY Roach Control is Difficult

  • Strong resistance to many insecticides. You may not know how to select the most appropriate insecticide. In addition, it’s not easy to determine the species you want to eliminate if you are not an expert in roach control. We have over 20 years of experience in the pest control industry, so we know what to do to keep your home free of roaches. We always conduct a thorough inspection to determine the most effective treatment method we can use to eliminate the roach species in your home.
  • Experts at survival. Roaches can survive a whole week without water and a month without food. On top of that, they can eat cardboard boxes and other things you don’t consider as food. This means that your DIY control methods can’t immediately eliminate all roaches. At Overwatch Pest Management, we can offer follow-up treatments because we understand that roaches are stubborn.
  • They don’t have natural predators. Most pests have predators that help to reduce their population. For example, spiders feed on flies and mosquitos. However, cockroaches lack such predators. This means you can’t depend on basic pest control methods such as cleaning your home to get rid of them.
