The top is a mouse dropping and the bottom is a roach
dropping. Do you see how similar they are? Alot of
customers get them confused.
These are the dreaded german roaches. You
better hope you never get these pesky little
creatures. They will nest in places like kitchen
cabinets, dish washers, ovens, and under kitchen
counter tops. Once you get them started its
extremely difficult to get rid of them.
German roaches feed on food, greese, and glue,
as a result , they are usually more prevalent in
restaurants and kitchens.
The american cockroach, or as one of our
customers calls them - the big bombers, is one of
the largest roaches. They usually live under
ground, in trees, under roof shingles, and even in
attics. It consumes decaying organic matter, but
since the cockroach is a scavenger, it will eat most
anything. It prefers sweets and has been observed
eating paper, boots, hair, bread, fruit, book
bindings, fish, peanuts, old rice, the soft part on the
inside of animal hides, cloth and dead insects.
The brownbanded cockroach feeds on starch
materials (book sizing and wallpaper paste) and
even nonfood materials such as nylon stockings.
They prefer to hide in warm, elevated areas near
the ceiling, behind wall decorations, pictures,
loose wallpaper, in shower stalls, underneath
chairs and tables, in closets, beneath or inside
upholstered furniture, and in electrical appliances
such as TV sets, stereos, radios and toasters.
They develop and live throughout your house
(especially bedrooms), making control difficult.
