Don't Let Roaches Take Over Your Las Vegas Home

Do Roaches Smell Bad?

Cockroaches are not born smelly. They become smelly the moment they eat nasty things and crawl through dirty areas. These pests especially love to spend time in greasy and moist environments. The more roaches there are inside your home, the more they will stink up the place. Keeping this in mind, if you start to detect an oily and musty smell in the air, these pests could be around. We recommend cleaning your home thoroughly while looking for these bugs. If you do not notice any and this smell goes away, great! If you spot some small flat insects while cleaning under your stove, in storage areas, and around your basement, you might have a serious problem.

Find out the extent of your problem by bringing in our team for a thorough inspection. We know how to identify cockroaches in Las Vegas and will help you understand what problems you are up against.

Why It's Dangerous To Have Roaches In The House

There are two main reasons to be concerned about the presence of cockroaches inside your home. The first big reason is that these pests spread disease. They pick up harmful disease-causing organisms inside trash cans, off dead animals, and in other dirty areas where they live and feed. They then transport these organisms throughout homes while they are scavenging for food. Some common diseases you might pick up from common cockroaches include salmonellosis, dysentery, listeriosis, cholera, and giardia. 

The other main problem associated with cockroaches comes from their shed skin and dry fecal droppings. These by-products break down, get into the air, and act as irritants to people with breathing problems like asthma and allergies. The more of these pests there are inside a dwelling, the more noticeable this problem becomes.

To avoid all the problems roaches cause, deal with infestations quickly and take action to keep cockroaches out in the future. 

Will The Roaches In My House Just Go Away On Their Own?

Lots of insects here in Las Vegas only invade homes to find shelter for short periods. Once it is safe to go back outside, most creatures will. This is not the case for cockroaches. These small insects invade homes to find food, moisture, and shelter, the three things they need to survive. If possible, they will live indoors forever. The sad truth is that it is usually possible for them to do this. Just consider this. Here are some foods cockroaches might use to survive inside your home:

• Cake
• Toast crumbs
• Soda
• Rotting meat
• Pet food
• Paper 
• Glue
• Toenail clippings

These are just a few examples of what cockroaches eat. As long as they can find at least one thing to eat inside your Las Vegas home, these pests will not go away anytime soon.
