Cockroach Infestation – What You Need to Know

⚠MODERATE RISK

⚠️ What They Are

German cockroaches (small, indoor) and American cockroaches (larger, outdoor) are the most common in SA homes.

🏠 How They Ruin Your Home

Trigger allergies and asthma, contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria (salmonella, E. coli), and leave unpleasant odors.

🛠️ Extermination Process

Step 1 – Inspection to identify harborage areas. Step 2 – Targeted gel bait applications and insect growth regulators. Step 3 – Residual sprays and sanitation recommendations.

⏰ Why It's Urgent

Cockroaches breed rapidly – one female can produce up to 400 offspring in her lifetime. Seeing one during the day signals a heavy infestation.
