Cockroaches lurk in the dark corners of your home. They most of the time also infest your kitchen for left-over food; and are particularly choosy going for more carbohydrates than protein. Even your closets are not safe against a roach raid. It is never pleasant to see one, more so, to feel one walking on your skin.

Thanks to the movie Men In Black (1997), cockroaches have increased notoriety as being the pest of all pests; trailing closely behind are rats, mosquitoes, bed bugs, and ants. The thought makes you itch and squirm.

Although you want none of these pests in your house, workplace, or in your children’s school, the fact remains that many of them, especially cockroaches, have been cohabiting with humans from the very beginning of time. In fact, roaches are shown to be particularly stubborn and just won’t easily go away.

So is it true that cockroaches can escape from a nuclear blast? A study explains that indeed, cockroaches can survive even high amounts of radiation. The DNA present in the roach’s exoskeleton is more able to rebuild when exposed to and, consequently, damaged from nuclear radiation.

The good thing is, pest control does not need nuclear assaults. You can get rid of a cockroach just by stepping on and squishing them, if you decide to “take matters personally,” or by contracting the services of a professional pest control company.

Pest control companies commonly use boric dust to pre-empt a population of roaches, mosquitoes and rats. The boric dust is made of boric acid or boron salt. It has a wide range of commercial uses, primarily for roach control. Higher concentration of boron means the dust is in its pure form. If you intend to apply it yourself, make sure to read, understand, and strictly follow the instructions.

Otherwise, leave it to the experts. Contracting pest control companies is more practical since many have been in the industry of keeping families and properties protected from pests for years. Complete pest control is not a luxury but a need. This is because pests are bearers of disease-causing bacteria and germs and, therefore, pose a serious threat to good health.
