German Cockroaches

The most common species of cockroach that you will come across in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington is the German cockroach (blantella germanica). These cockroaches are under an inch long and have two distinct stripes behind their heads. What makes these roaches such a nuisance is that they can reproduce at alarming rates, quickly leading to infestations. In addition, they can spread disease and bacteria through their fecal matter.

How Did I Get a Cockroach Infestation?

Cockroaches are extremely good at getting inside of tight spaces, such as through cracks and joints in your home. This includes windows, walls, doors, and vents. Cockroaches can even get into your home through sewer pipes and drains. While keeping your home clean and free of food debris can help deter roaches, it is not always successful. Our team at Halt Pest Control has extensive knowledge in this area and we understand how cockroaches make their home in yours.
