Cockroaches can be a resilient pest, and they are common throughout the Baltimore area, even in impeccably clean buildings. They can often find their way into your home by stowing away in grocery bags, packages, or used furniture, as well as crawling through holes in your foundation or openings in exterior walls.
If you see one roach, there is a good chance there are many more, and to avoid the health risks they represent, it is a good idea to call a professional immediately.

What Causes Cockroach Infestations?
Cockroaches are attracted to spilled food, dirty dishes, decaying organic debris, pet waste, and even furniture glues and soaps. They are relatively small and can be carried home in grocery bags, boxes, clothing, backpacks, furniture, or any other items that are transported from an infested location. Once they arrive in your Baltimore home, they can easily locate a food source and breed extremely quickly, with up to six generations produced in a year. The most common household roach is the German cockroach, followed by the American and Oriental varieties.
