It's that time of
year again when many homeowners start to see the invasion of outdoor
cockroaches. Of the most common in our area is the American Cockroach.
It is otherwise known as a Palmetto Bug. They live in mulch areas
around your home and commonly find their way inside through doors and
windows. It's also very common to see them in garages and base
ments.
They like to be inside cool dark climates and are often seen at night.
Although they can fly, they're not very strong fliers. It's typical to
notice them flying from one wall to another inside your home. Inside
cabinets and closets are among other favorite hiding places for these pests.
When excessive rain or humidity is
present, ants will also take the opportunity to come inside your home. There are several species. Of the most co
mmon
are Thief Ants. They are very tiny at no more than 1/16 of an inch
long and yellow to light brown in color. They prefer food with high
protein content but will also feed on sugary foods. You will sometimes
find them in bathrooms around sinks and showers. They can also be
found in kitchen areas around sinks and stoves.
