Cockroach Pest Control
Cockroach Pest Control Services, Columbia, SC
Tired of fighting with roaches? They’ve just met their match.
Cockroaches aren’t just unsettling—they can pose serious health risks to your family. These resilient pests can spread bacteria, trigger allergies, and contaminate your food.
Sunrise Pest Defense provides professional cockroach pest control services that eliminate infestations and keep your home safe and roach-free.
The Problem with Cockroaches
Cockroaches are prolific breeders. A single female cockroach can lay up to 40 eggs at a time, and depending on the species, she can produce multiple egg cases each month.
These eggs hatch in just a few weeks, leading to a new generation ready to invade your home. Their rapid reproduction means that what starts as a small problem can quickly escalate into a full-blown infestation.
Beyond their ability to multiply quickly, cockroaches can carry over 30 types of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. They pick up pathogens from sewage systems, garbage, and decaying organic matter, transferring these harmful microorganisms to food surfaces, utensils, and areas where people live and eat.
This makes effective control and prevention critical to protecting your health and your home.
