Summer is the peak season for cockroach activity since the higher temperatures accelerate their reproduction rates and increase their foraging behavior. While some people choose to respond with DIY treatments when they spot the first few cockroaches, these attempts are short-lived at best. Instead of wasting your money and effort on homebrew methods or big box store solutions, contact our team at Brown Pest Control for the effective, long-lasting cockroach control strategy you need to stay cockroach-free through summer and beyond.
Why Summer Is the Critical Time for Cockroach Control
Professional cockroach control during the summer offers strategic advantages that are easy to overlook unless you’re trained professionals like us. Here are a few of the top reasons why summer treatments are so effective for long-term results.
- Breaking the Reproductive Cycle. Professional treatments target breeding adults before they produce the next generation.
- Preventing Winter Hibernation. Any cockroaches that survive the summer will shelter in wall voids and other hidden areas for protection during the cold months, making them significantly harder to deal with later on. By taking a thorough approach in their active season, you can eliminate them before they go into hiding again.
- Protecting Entry Points. Our treatments include identifying and treating entry points, so we can help you fend off a cockroach infestation before it happens.
- Prevention of Resistant Generations. We rotate our cockroach control treatments to prevent resistance development, which is common with DIY methods and can lead to cockroaches that are immune to common treatments along with the boom in next summer’s population.
Don’t wait until cockroaches have established multiple generations in your home – schedule professional cockroach control services during the summer months to get the comprehensive, long-term protection you need.
