Are there Health Risks Associated With Cockroaches and What can I Do ?

The health risks associated with cockroaches can range from nausea, abdominal cramps, vomiting diarrhea, etc, cause by their fecal material being placed on food, dishes, glasses, etc, to allergic responses such as skin rashes, watery eyes, sneezing, and can even set off asthma attacks in people that have asthma caused by their dead body particles becoming airborne and then being breathed in. 

Treating one room or unit can be effective, but it requires, a very thorough baiting and a complete wall and void treatment placed into the walls through switch plates, plumbing access, etc..  

Spraying is generally ineffective but is inexpensive to purchase and easy for you to apply. If you are in a multi unit dwelling all units must be sprayed. The treatment is very short lived as the roaches will only escape to the wall voids, attics, etc..  When the spray wears off, the roaches come back out.

Anti-Pesto DIY recommends the use of both types of systems, spray as a fast acting, short term solution and our bait systems for long term Roach protection.
