COCKROACHES
Cockroaches are an infestation that needs to be dealt with quickly. Cockroaches can produce bacteria that can contaminate food, dishes, and eating utensils. Their shedding skins can also create allergic and asthmatic reactions.
Cockroaches need food and water to grow and reproduce. They like warm places and feed on food, pet food, trash, etc. With adequate food and water, cockroaches will mate and reproduce quickly laying several dozen eggs at a time. They are mostly nocturnal and like to hide..
