Cockroaches in Texas Homes

Part of what makes the cockroach so versatile is its varied diet. While some bugs may prefer sugar and others prefer flour, cockroaches will eat nearly anything they can put their antennae on. They are particularly drawn to starchy foods such as baking products and crumbs, though they have been known to eat cheese, paper, and even dead skin.

The Dangers of Cockroaches

Cockroaches are not the household menace they're often made out to be, but they shouldn't be ignored. While eating your food, they are also contaminating it, defecating in and near the food source. Additionally, they secrete odors that can ruin the lovely smell of your home. Finally, many people develop allergies to the cockroach, leading to an assortment of health problems. 

Hiring the Pros

Most of the roach traps sold in stores are ineffective when it comes to wiping out a cockroach population. Killing them one by one with sprays or flyswatters will do almost nothing to stem the tide.
