Power. For a creature that does not bite or sting they sure can send people, running, yelling, or having sleepless nights. Have you ever been around someone the first time they realize some species fly? Sheer terror. So they scurry and do what they want with no regard for us. Roaches have a purpose they are recyclers of plant and animal and animal waste and they release nitrogen. They help keep our outdoor environment healthy BUT not the same effect indoors they carry bacteria and parasites. You don't want them running through your silverware drawer of your pantry. They can also have a poor effect on our resiratory system.
Even in a clean house if it is warm, has nooks, crannies, and crevices, a water source and crumbs ahhhh like staying at a posh resort for these guys and if you see them you run or by the time you grab a shoe they are gone. Tidbit if you store things in cardboard boxes, don't. Get some plastic containers. They like the glue on cardboard. Contact us for quarterly perimeter treatments. They can keep working outdoors and not take over your indoors.
German roaches are a different kind of problem and treatment. They actually believe they own the place and we will touch on that in a different post.
