Roaches - Magna Pest Solutions
What are Roaches
Roaches are more than just a nuisance—they pose serious risks to your health and property. Different types of cockroaches, such as the American and German cockroaches, are known to spread diseases by contaminating food and surfaces with their droppings. They can trigger asthma and allergies, especially in children.
The presence of large cockroaches inside a house, like the American cockroach, or tiny roaches, like the German roach, is alarming for homeowners.
These pests hide in dark, damp areas, making them hard to detect and control. The sight of even one giant roach indoors can cause anxiety, as it may signal a larger infestation and raise concerns about the cleanliness and safety of the home.

FAQs
Where might you find Oriental and Brown-banded cockroaches?
Oriental cockroaches prefer damp areas and are often found in basements, crawl spaces, and drains.
Brown-banded cockroaches tend to favor warmer, drier locations like ceilings, behind appliances, and cabinets.
Both species are widely distributed and thrive in urban environments, making regular inspections and preventative measures essential.
When are roach invasions likely to occur?
Roaches are active year-round, but infestations are more noticeable in warmer months. During this time, they may enter homes seeking food and moisture. Brown-banded cockroaches are especially resilient to drier conditions, while Oriental cockroaches thrive in humid environments.
Regular inspections, particularly during the warmer months, combined with Magna Pest Solutions' General Pest Control Program, will keep your home protected from roaches and other pests. Seasonal treatments can also address any specific pest challenges during peak times.
Why should I get rid of Oriental and Brown-banded cockroaches?
Both species can spread bacteria and pathogens, contaminating surfaces and food. They pose a risk to human health, especially in homes with children or individuals with allergies or asthma. Additionally, their presence in large numbers can cause structural damage to homes and buildings.
By removing these pests, you can ensure a safer, cleaner, and healthier environment. Magna Pest Solutions offers effective treatments to keep your home roach-free year-round
