German Cockroaches
The German cockroach is the most common species of cockroach found throughout the world. German cockroaches prefer to live in small areas close to food and moisture, so human homes make the perfect habitat. This type of cockroach often hitchhikes indoors via grocery bags, boxes and secondhand appliances, and is commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms. German cockroaches can contaminate food sources and spread bacteria and human pathogens. Moreover, cockroach allergens are know to trigger allergies and exacerbate asthma symptoms, especially in children.
Quick tips:
- Keep counters and floors clean and free of crumbs.
- Vacuum frequently and dispose of garbage regularly.
- Pay attention to kitchens and bathrooms, especially under appliances and sinks.
