As we head into the colder months and the seasons begin to shift, one thing remains constant, the presence of the American cockroach.
These resilient pests thrive in drains, making themselves right at home beneath your property. With increased rainfall, drains often become flooded, disrupting their habitat. But don’t be fooled, they always have a plan B. When conditions turn, they move out of the drains and into your space, searching for warmth, shelter, and food.
Unlike their German counterparts, American cockroaches don’t slow down in colder weather. They remain active year-round, with breeding continuing regardless of the season meaning the problem doesn’t disappear, it grows.
Blocked drains only make matters worse. The buildup of food waste and organic material creates the perfect feeding ground essentially an all-you-can-eat buffet allowing infestations to escalate rapidly and turning a small issue into a major one.
