Cockroaches are resilient insects with flat, oval bodies and long, spiny legs. Known for their ability to thrive in various environments, they are often found in dark, moist areas such as under sinks, behind appliances, and in basements. Their rapid reproduction and tendency to invade homes can make them a serious pest issue. Cockroaches can carry bacteria and allergens, posing health risks to humans. Several species of cockroaches inhabit North Texas, each with its own habits and preferences
American roaches, often called "palmetto bugs," are large, reddish-brown cockroaches that can grow up to 2 inches long. Common in the DFW area, they prefer warm, moist places like sewers, basements, and kitchens. They can fly short distances and are known for spreading bacteria and triggering allergies. At Wood Crest Pest Control, we use proven methods to eliminate American roaches and keep your home safe and clean.
German roaches are small, light brown cockroaches known for infesting kitchens and bathrooms. They multiply quickly and can spread bacteria, making them a serious health risk. Common in the DFW area, they hide in warm, humid spots like behind appliances and under sinks. At Wood Crest Pest Control, we use targeted treatments to eliminate German roaches at the source and help keep your home clean and pest-free.
Oriental roaches, also known as "water bugs," are large, dark brown or black cockroaches that prefer cool, damp areas like basements, drains, and crawl spaces. They move slower than other roaches but can carry bacteria and cause strong, musty odors. Common in the DFW area, these pests often enter homes through pipes or gaps in foundations. Wood Crest Pest Control provides effective solutions to eliminate Oriental roaches and prevent them from coming back.
