Roaches are tough to eliminate and handling the problem early on is key, as they carry disease and can cause allergic reactions in many people. Roaches come in looking for food and don’t leave once they find it. They can survive up to three months with nothing to eat, so just cleaning uptake origin of their food findings does not eliminate them. They will remain in dark, damp spaces waiting to find another food source. A clean home and regular pest control are key to keeping roaches out of your home.

Fleas are very small, roughly 2.5mm in length, are flat, have no wings, and six legs, making them great jumpers, with capability of jumping 13 inches at a time. If fleas are not taken care of properly, their population can expand rapidly, and therefore it is imperative that fleas are dealt with by professionals.
