Remove German Roaches from Your Houston Home

German roaches are a very dangerous pest to have in your home. They account for the cause of many diseases and can put you and your family in harm's way when they come in contact with food, storage areas, surfaces, furniture and more.

Once German roaches enter the home using numerous different methods like boxes, appliances, groceries, furniture, and more they can reproduce at an alarming rate!

One female German roaches ootheca (egg sack) contains anywhere from 30 to 40 eggs. She can reproduce every 28 days or so. The life cycle for a female German Cockroach is 6 months.
