Rid Your Home of Roaches for Good
Cockroaches have quite a reputation. Not only are they one of the least welcomed pests in the Chicago area, but they also carry disease and are incredibly common. Few things have a stigma like roaches, which are considered a sign of uncleanliness. Homeowners and businesses continually struggle to find ways to keep roaches out of the building, but without a plan to get rid of them, they will continue to come back. Bigfoot Pest Control is dedicated to eliminating existing roaches and preventing their return. The comprehensive and low-toxicity pest solutions offered exclusively by Bigfoot mean no roaches or other pests, and that is a guarantee.

Roaches Infest Homes
One reason roaches frequently end up in homes is that they often gravitate to areas where food is being prepared and stored. Of course, even those homes that are counter-crumb-free may still have roach activity, which is why an effective pest control treatment plan can keep them away for good. Leaving roaches to infest homes can contaminate kitchen utensils and other items. Consistent roach activity can create a foul odor that will stay as long as the infestation exists. Low toxicity treatments for roaches and other pests are the best solution since perimeter treatment is necessary, as well as inside spot treatments. When using any pest control inside the home, it is crucial to use safe products that can’t harm people, pets, or poison food and other surfaces.
Roaches move around freely and can move from a pile of dog excrement I the yard to the pantry, often unnoticed. The allergens that roaches produce and spread can cause people to become sick and even cause more serious health conditions like asthma. Children are highly vulnerable to the germs spread by roach activity. Bigfoot Pest Control wants its Chicago area clients to have safe and pest-free homes and offices!
Why Roaches Show Up at Night
Cockroaches are much more active in the dark. They hide during the day in dark and undisturbed spaces. At night, they look for food, not just what we consider food. Some other items that people often overlook keeping put away include soaps, pastes, glues, hair, toothpaste, and filth. Think about that sink drain in your kitchen – leaving that full of remnants of food is a VIP invitation to cockroaches and other pests, like ants too!
Roaches also like damp areas, so try to address leaky faucets inside and out to minimize the attraction for their return. A long-lasting pest treatment with continued maintenance will kill roaches upon arrival, but eliminating their sources of attraction can prevent them from entering in the first place.
How Roaches Get Inside
The flat shape of roaches gives them access to openings and crevices that may not seem like an entry point. They enter through windows and door frames, vents, and love piles of firewood. They are often brown in color, slender, and move fast, which makes encounters even worse. A comprehensive roach treatment plan will exterminate eggs, larvae, and adults and cover places that seem out of the way but that make a nesting spot for these disgusting pests. Cockroaches don’t live in colonies, but they do congregate, and their feces have a strong and unpleasant smell. Roaches also breed quickly and often, making them a genuine threat to any home or business. If you see them or evidence of their activity, contact a reputable pest control company immediately for extermination and treatment! Bigfoot has been serving DuPage and Cook County since its inception, and there is no cockroach pest control company more dedicated to keeping homeowners safe, happy, and pest-free!
Hide and Seek for Cockroach Control
To exterminate and keep roaches away, it is essential to know where they are hiding. Only professional pest technicians have the experience and tools to locate any infestations and exterminate them on the spot. Bigfoot uses low-toxicity products so that any area, whether inside or outside, can be treated. Once roaches are dead, they need to be removed to prevent them from rotting and attracting other pests or leaving a foul smell. A cockroach infestation inside a wall may not be evident, but as new cockroaches are born, there will be waves of increasing activity. A full cockroach infestation can be overwhelming for anyone to deal with, so let the professionals do what they do best and get them out for good!
Safely Treating Cockroaches
There are countless options on the shelf to kill roaches and other pests. The problem with sprays and powders is that they are not safe or not effective. Any products purchased over the counter may put people or pets at risk or may not work at all. Only professional-grade products that can be bought and used by those with certification and a license to do so are qualified to successfully and safely treat roaches and other pests. Bigfoot Pest Control takes pride in its eco-friendly products that are as effective as other, more toxic products – there is no need to put your family at risk!
