There’s a silent, scuttling problem that many homeowners in Bhubaneswar face, and it’s not just an embarrassing sight. It’s cockroaches. They are a significant health risk to you and your family.
Nilachakra Pest control, we understand that the sight of a cockroach in your kitchen is a sign of a deeper issue. Our blog will help you understand the threat and how our professional services can help you reclaim your home.
Why Are Cockroaches So Common in Bhubaneswar?
Our city’s warm, humid climate, especially during and after the monsoon season, is an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. They thrive in places with warmth, moisture, and a ready food supply making kitchens, bathrooms, and food storage areas their favourite hideouts. Common species you’ll find here include the German, American, and Oriental cockroaches, each with its own preferred habitat and behaviour.
The Hidden Dangers of a Cockroach Infestation
Many people are unaware of the serious health risks cockroaches pose. They are scavengers that move between filthy areas like drains and garbage bins and your kitchen counters, spreading harmful bacteria and pathogens.
- Disease Carriers: Cockroaches are known to carry bacteria that can cause diseases like Salmonella, E. coli, Typhoid Fever, and Dysentery. They contaminate food and surfaces with their droppings and saliva.
- Allergies and Asthma: Their shed skins, droppings, and saliva contain proteins that can trigger allergic reactions and severe asthma attacks, especially in children and individuals with respiratory issues.
- Contamination: They regurgitate part of their food, leaving behind a foul, oily, and persistent smell that can taint food, dishes, and even clothes.
Why DIY Methods Aren’t a Permanent Solution
While natural remedies like bay leaves, baking soda, or boric acid baits can offer some temporary relief, they rarely solve the root of the problem. Cockroaches are incredibly resilient and can hide in tiny crevices, making it nearly impossible for DIY methods to reach the entire colony.
A professional pest control service is the only way to ensure complete and long-term eradication. We use an integrated pest management approach that involves:
- Thorough Inspection: We identify the species of cockroach, the entry points, and the extent of the infestation.
- Targeted Treatment: We use a combination of advanced baits, gels, and sprays that are effective against the specific species and safe for your family.
- Preventive Measures: We provide recommendations to help you seal entry points and create an environment that is less attractive to cockroaches in the future.
