Cockroach Control In Philadelphia, PA

Protect Your Home From Cockroaches With Harpoon Pest Solutions

Cockroaches can be a major problem here in the Philadelphia area. Our harsh winters often make it very difficult for them to survive without climate-controlled buildings. Our food and moisture sources are often the most convenient around. Not to mention our habitations have fewer predators. All this means that cockroaches are highly motivated to get into our homes and businesses, so keeping them out can be a huge hassle, especially if you are trying to do it on your own.

Far from being merely annoying and gross, cockroaches are actually quite dangerous. Living with a cockroach infestation means being exposed to all kinds of potentially serious illnesses. This is the main reason why you want to ensure your home remains free of cockroaches.

The Problems Cockroaches Can Cause In Your Philadelphia Home

The diseases cockroaches carry are the main reason why they are so dangerous. These insects spend their days hanging out in some pretty horrifying places, including rotting flesh, open sewage, and garbage dumps. They ingest all kinds of pathogens in these places and also drag them around on their filthy bodies. As you can imagine, all of the germs cockroaches pick up in their disgusting haunts come right into your house when they do. This leads to the spread of illnesses such as:

Cholera
Dysentery
E. coli
Gastroenteritis
Salmonellosis

Cockroaches' ability to spread disease is the main reason they are dangerous, but it's not the main reason they are so difficult to control.

Cockroach control is so insanely difficult because of a combination of cockroaches' incredible breeding speed and their legendary toughness. Cockroaches are very difficult to kill because they can survive exposure to many different kinds of cockroach pesticides and even decapitation and radiation. Furthermore, if you manage to kill a few roaches, the ones you eliminate have probably already replaced themselves many times over. This is why you will need professional cockroach control.

Our Cockroach Control Process

Inspection

Here at Harpoon Pest Solutions, the first thing we do when we come out to your home is perform a thorough inspection. This allows us to determine the species of cockroach infesting your home, which will help us formulate a plan to treat your infestation.

Treatment

After we perform our initial inspection, we will put our treatment plan into action. We have a wide variety of cockroach control products, ranging from foggers and dust to bait management and other insecticides. We will treat every area of your home that is being colonized by cockroaches or serving as an entry point for them to ensure your infestation is entirely eliminated.
