Choosing The Best Roach Control Weston FL Service

(prHWY.com) March 24, 2013 - Ft. Lauderdale, FL -- Cockroaches are among the most well-known of all pests. The very word cockroach conjures up images of mess and filth, but as unpleasant as these insects may appear, they are very adaptable survivors that have simply taken advantage of the opportunities presented by human civilization. Cockroaches are among the most ancient insects, having roots somewhere in the steamy forests of the Carboniferous era, at least 300 million years ago. The general morphology and lifestyle of cockroaches has changed little since they first evolved, attesting to the success of this original, rather primitive template. Today, at least 4,500 species of cockroach are known, although the actual number is probably far higher as the humid tropics undoubtedly support many species still unknown to science. Of all these species there are only around 17 that can be considered to be pests, and of these only about six species are significant. The cockroach connection to allergies and asthma is very strong. Cockroaches are the major allergen for children who live in cities. Many children are highly sensitive to cockroach saliva, droppings, and body parts, which are so light that they float in the air as part of house dust. No matter how well one cleans the home, cockroaches are found everywhere. But they are especially a problem in older housing and multifamily dwellings. Cockroaches themselves and cockroach allergens can be difficult to control. The best controls include professional extermination, keeping the kitchen clean, storing food in sealed containers, keeping the house (especially bathrooms and basements) dry, using cockroach traps, and sealing cracks in walls and floors.

From an ecological point of view they are typically nocturnal or crepuscular scavengers able to survive on all manner of food, including stored food, human and animal waste, and dead plants and animals. Therefore, in densely populated urban environments the)' are really in their element as food is in abundance and there are lots of nooks and crannies to hide in.

Of all the animals that live in association with humans, cockroaches are perhaps the most intimate of all these unwanted guests in that they live their whole lives in very close proximity to us. Throughout the world, cockroaches occur in large numbers, infesting countless homes and workplaces. For example, it is estimated that at least 24.5% of U.S. households use treatments designed to kill these insects on a regular basis--that's more than 20 million homes--making cockroaches the number one household pets in the United States. Most other animal pests of homes and workplaces often only make fleeting visits to find food, but the cockroaches call our houses, offices, and warehouses home, much to the annoyance of the two-legged occupants.
