Why are cockroaches so hard to control?
Cockroaches are a social insect and multiply very rapidly. German Cockroaches have a larger number of eggs per capsule than the other species that infest structures and a gestation period of 7-10 days. Discussion: Treating a home or office once a month for a cockroach infestation is not effective pest control. At the pace of one treatment per month the roaches will multiply 3 times in between visits. It is normally recommended that structures be treated at least twice per month for lighter infestations and as extreme as weekly for heavier infestations. Sanitation of the infested areas is key and very helpful in reducing populations quickly.
