Alternatively, they can be brought indoors on furniture, second-hand clothing or packaged or bulk foods bought at the store.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The appearance of one of these resilient bugs in your kitchen, in a grocery store or in a restaurant is enough to disgust even the toughest souls. And for good reason! These undesirable insects hide in dark corners during the day and raid the rooms of your house while you sleep at night. As they explore, they track pathogens throughout your home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Cockroaches are omnivores; they\u2019ll eat just about anything halfway edible, from food crumbs left on counters and floors to pet food and cardboard boxes. The other problem that confronts home dwellers and restaurant managers is the masses of droppings cockroaches leave behind.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; equal_columns=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;Service_Col_Padding Service_Text_Margin&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Description<\/h2>\n<p>Sixteen species of cockroach are commonly found in Quebec, and about 70 different species can be found throughout Canada. These include the American cockroach (with brown stripes), oriental cockroach and Pennsylvania cockroach. But it is the German cockroach that is the most widespread throughout the world and that is responsible for 70% of all cockroach infestations in in our beautiful province.<\/p>\n<p>The German cockroach is easy to recognize: it is oval shaped, light brown and measures between 10 and 15 mm. It has 6 legs, which allow it to move very quickly, and two pairs of wings to help it glide when it jumps.<\/p>\n<p>The female produces eggs 3 to 4 times a year inside her abdomen. Afterwards, she stashes egg sacs containing 30 to 40 eggs in crevices and cracks where they will be able to hatch in peace.<\/p>\n<p>The reproduction rate of cockroaches is phenomenal. With exponential growth, a small infestation can quickly increase to unbelievable numbers\u2014you could see up to 35,000 descendants within a single year. Our <strong>cockroach exterminators<\/strong> know how to prevent this from happening.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;Service_Col_Padding Service_Text_Margin bg-light-grey&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>The risks that come with having cockroaches in your home<\/h2>\n<p>Cockroaches tend to prefer warm, humid areas in your house, such as the kitchen and the bathroom.

The smell of a waste buildup is also quite unpleasant.<\/p>\n<p>The bacteria found in cockroach feces can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Staphylococci<\/li>\n<li>Streptococci<\/li>\n<li>Coliform bacteria<\/li>\n<li>Clostridium<\/li>\n<li>Salmonella<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When these are inhaled or consumed via contaminated food, they can cause gastroenteritis, fever or allergic reactions such as nasal congestion, sneezing and asthma attacks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; fullwidth_content=&#8221;false&#8221; el_class=&#8221;bg-blue row-padding&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;SubTitle_Paragraph_Text White_Text&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In addition to the health risks they pose, cockroaches devour books and any type of paper, including bookbinding, wallpaper glue and leather.
