PEST LIBRARY / COCKROACHES / BROWN BANDED ROACH

BROWN BANDED ROACH INFORMATION & FACTS

Brown banded cockroaches are light brown in colour and can grow to be 11 to 14.5 mm in length. These roaches have light tan bands that are present along the wings of the adult and across the body of the young. Adult males are capable of flying.

These cockroaches' nest in dry and very warm areas and preferably higher up locations than most other roach species. Preferred living areas include ceilings, attics, closets and pantries, behind wall decorations or loose wallpaper and in or around major appliances. While primarily nocturnal, they may be found searching for food during the day.

While brown-banded cockroaches have a preference for materials with a higher starch content, such as book bindings or stamps, since they are scavengers, they will eat just about anything.

Brown-banded cockroaches pose a number of health risks. These roaches have been found to spread over 30 kinds of harmful bacteria through their legs and bodies, which they then transmit onto food and food surfaces.

Females will produce approximately 14 egg capsules, each of which contains 10 to 18 eggs. The time needed for the young to reach maturity greatly depends on environmental conditions. Ideal conditions can produce a fully grown within three months.

Prevention starts with good sanitation practices. Clean up food spills immediately, keep food in the refrigerator or tightly sealed containers, vacuum often and eliminate clutter around the house.

We just had a fall treatment done at our country property. We never hesitate to call this company to protect us from ladybugs, cluster flies and more. You can count on them for punctuality, professionalism and thoroughness. Shout out to Cody who went above and beyond today: on his own accord, he brought our garbage/recycling bins to our garage door from the road and was able to retrieve a helium balloon that had floated up to the top of our cathedral ceiling. We are seniors, so these gestures of kindness were most appreciated. Highly recommend!

I cannot rate this company high enough. I first talked with Thomas on the phone. He was so polite and patient with this 79 year old lady animal advocate. He talked me through everything and I made my choice of the service I desired. I got an appointment the next day. Craig was right on time and he went through everything again and made sure I understood the whole procedure. I feel I got a very fair price for the work done. Do not hesitate to call Environmental Pest Control if you need help with wasps as I did!

I recently had the bait boxes refilled to avoid having mice move into my house as the weather turns colder. Mike and Jake arrived at the appointed time. Both gentlemen were polite, friendly and very professional. When they left, I contacted Kassandra to arrange payment. She was lovely, pleasant and polite, a pleasure to speak with. I have used the services of this company for years and have always been pleased.
