Pro Staff Warns Homeowners of Roach Baits That Don’t Work

ORLANDO, Fla. - Oct. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Floridians looking to keep roaches at bay may need more than just roach bait. A North Carolina study has shown that roaches no longer have an appetite for glucose, a form of sugar commonly found in roach traps.

“It’s becoming a more common thing to see roaches that literally won’t take the bait,” says Robert Welch president of Pro Staff Termite and Pest Control. “They aren’t necessarily building a resistance to the poison, they just aren’t consuming it. They are adopting this form of behavior to prevent being exposed to insecticide.”

Older products you may have around your home will simply not be consumed by roaches, which gives rise to the necessity of regular pest control services. The studies show that the avoidance is not purely behavioral, but now scientists are seeing it as a physiological trigger. There has been an ongoing problem with roaches avoiding baits for at least 20 years now.

If you choose to attempt to kill roaches by purchasing over-the-counter products, you might be wasting your time and money. Roaches bring with them germs and diseases that could be harmful to you and your family. It is important that homeowners take action to eliminate and prevent them from coming back by eliminated food and moisture sources, sealing food containers and hiring a pest control company to treat your home.
