What is Sewer Roaches?
We all know what cockroaches look like, but a smaller variety of roaches live in sewer systems. These, called sewer roaches, feed on sewage and wastewater. They do not spread diseases and are generally harmless but can be a nuisance when entering homes and businesses.
Identifying Sewer Roaches
Sewer roaches are usually black or dark brown and measure 1/4 to 1/2 inches long. They have wings but cannot fly— they propel themselves through short hops or crawling. Adult sewer roaches may also have yellow spots along their abdomen. Unlike American Cockroaches, sewer roaches do not have the two distinctive stripes on their back.
Where are They Found?
Sewer roaches infest homes, businesses, and other places where there is an accessible source of moisture. These pests prefer dark, damp areas such as sewers, drains, and pipe systems. They thrive in warm temperatures and can often be found near water heaters or plumbing fixtures. Sewer roaches may also be found around garbage cans and dumpsters due to their affinity for decaying organic material.
If you suspect a sewer roach infestation in your home or business, it is essential to take immediate action to ensure the safety of yourself and others. The most effective way to eliminate sewer roaches is through professional extermination services from a qualified exterminator in Chicago.
A-Alert Exterminators
During the initial inspection, A-Alert exterminators in Chicago will examine all areas of your property for signs of an infestation, such as droppings or shed skin casings near pipes or water sources.
Once we complete the inspection, we develop treatment options such as; baiting and trapping techniques and insecticide application in affected areas. We can place baits near water sources where these creatures congregate to attract them away from other parts of your home or business.
Trapping methods may involve glue boards placed around baseboards or gaps in walls/floors where they may enter through cracks/crevices. Insecticides should also be applied along baseboards and cracks beneath appliances if needed; all our products are safe.
