Fumigating cockroaches Mallorca

With the arrival of the hottest months of the year, the problem of cockroaches worsens in homes and premises, when there is not adequate control it can become a real pest, because cockroaches reproduce very quickly and pose a serious problem for people’s health.

In Mallorca, as in the rest of the Balearic Islands, cockroaches are a very common problem, because the weather conditions are ideal for various species of cockroaches, which in the summer season tend to multiply, as the climate is much more favourable for them.

These insects, in addition to being nasty, are carriers of various bacteria and viruses capable of transmitting diseases. Due to their habits, cockroaches become a walking repository of germs that they contract in the places where they roam such as sewers and garbage dumps, as well as by feeding on spoiled food and feces.

When they come into contact with a new environment, they become transmitting agents of various diseases and infections such as salmonellosis, E. Coli, Cholera, Dysentery, Gastroenteritis, Typhoid Fever, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, among many others. They have also been proven to cause asthma in allergy sufferers.

Cockroaches spread diseases through their feces, vomit, or through direct contact. When a cockroach consumes food contaminated with some type of bacteria, they enter its body and remain in its mouth, saliva or digestive system. When they vomit, defecate or come into contact with food, they transmit these bacteria.

In addition, because they live in very dirty environments, their bodies contain a wide variety of germs, which makes them an ideal environment for bacteria and viruses to reach anywhere.
