Cockroach Services in Portland, Maine
Cockroaches have spiny long legs, lengthy antennae, and an oval flattened appearence. The color of cockroaches can vary depending on the species. In Maine we typically face issues with the German Cockroach that has two dark streaks running down their backs and is tan/light brown in color. Immature or young cockroaches are reffered to as Nymphs and although younger they resemble adult cockroaches. The biggest difference is their size and the absence or length of wings.

Cockroach Description
The female cockroach produces seven egg capsules at a time. Each of these capsule contain up to 48 eggs. One female cockroach can generate up to 35,000 offspring per year which explains why cockroaches sometimes seem to appear overnight in extremely large quanities. Typically you will find cockroaches in bathrooms and kitches as it is easy access to food and water. As the amount of cockroaches continues to grow they may find their way into other rooms. Cockroaches are not known to transmit disease to humans despite the fact that they carry disease organisms. They do however contaminate food and kitchen items like dishes and utensils through salivary secretions and excretment. This is what causes an unpleasent odor in some cases of cockroach infestation.
Once cockroaches have begun to infest the most important things to pay attention to and prevent is food left on surfaces or open in cabinets, water supplies controlled including any leaks or empty drink containers. Pet food should be contained and pet bowls consistently cleaned. If you suspect you have a cockroach problem contact as as soon as possible!
