Cockroaches are pests your Broken Arrow Exterminator can help you control. About 30 out of 4,600 species of cockroaches are known to infest our home. The most common among them is the German cockroach. They belong to the group of insects that chew their food, this is because of their well-developed chewing mouthpart, and their mandibles. Cockroaches are a very common insect found in most parts of the world, and this is because cockroaches are very adaptable to different types of environments and climates.

Modern cockroaches can be classified as social insects and are more related to termites based on genetics. It has been observed that some cockroaches such as German cockroaches have a social lifestyle living together, depending on each other, communicating, and recognizing close relations. They are well-known as dirty pests and should be removed from our homes. Broken Arrow exterminator can assist in removing cockroaches from your home.

Cockroach Behavior and Broken Arrow Exterminator

Cockroaches are social insects but just a few of the total species exhibit care and social behaviors. It is also believed that cockroaches communicate with each other through chemical signals called pheromones. Some species secrete it in their feces while others use glands located on their mandibles. These signals help cockroaches differentiate between different populations by their odor. German cockroaches leave fecal trails with an odor. Following this trail, other cockroaches can discover food, water, and shelter or where other cockroaches are hiding. Cockroaches can adapt to different environments but prefer our homes because of the warmth they provide and the availability of food. Contact your Broken Arrow exterminator.

Cockroaches In Outdoors

Of all the cockroaches that we find as pests, few are outdoor cockroaches. The American cockroach is the largest of the bunch, coming in at about 3 inches. This insect is brown in color and big. Big and ugly. But this isn’t after our food. It usually follows moisture into our homes and stumbles its way in. Broken pipes and plumbing issues are usually the cause for these insects to find their way in. While they’re big and ugly, they are just as afraid of you as you are of them. The last of the cockroaches is the Oriental cockroach. It’s a black cockroach about 2 1/2 inches long and is often found in drains, ditches, and sewers. It follows moisture into the plumbing. Contact your exterminator if you’re having issues with any of these four kinds of cockroaches. Check out our reviews!
