Did you know that a cockroach can live without its head for up to an hour?

Cockroaches breathe through tiny holes in their sides called spiracles, so they do not need their head to breathe.  These insects are masters of survival, and can be a very difficult pest to control.  The integrated approach for these insects is multi-faceted.  One of our primary tools for cockroach control is diatomaceous earth which is a drying compound.  Diatomaceous earth is a natural product that is deadly to insects with an exoskeleton.  This product, used in conjunction with measured pesticide applications, minimizes the risk to our clients and the environment.

Yes, we do have cockroaches in Colorado.  While not a major pest issue, we do find them in places that are wet with a high organic load such as decomposing food, manure or sewage. 

Thank you for your attention,
