Elimination of Cockroaches in Barcelona
Cockroaches are one of the most common culprits when we talk about pests. We all immediately think of certain urban pests , and cockroaches are no exception.
Prevention and treatment of the plague of Cockroaches:
Once a cockroach infestation occurs, the problem can be alleviated with various treatments. One of these is chemical control , since predator treatments are not usually very compatible with a domestic area (due to the type of predator: wasps, centipedes, etc.) . However, analyzing the causes and implementing corrective measures by the FitoStinger team of technicians can reduce the risk of a re-infestation.
Biocides and baits are effective for cockroach control and can eliminate their nests.

Cockroaches and health:
One of the biggest impacts cockroaches can have is the spread of a number of harmful bacteria and viruses that can lead to the development of diseases , such as E. coli, Salmonella, Typhoid Fever, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, Cholera, Gastroenteritis, Dysentery, and Leprosy.
A national study in the U.S. (2005) on factors that predispose to asthma in children in inner cities showed that allergens from cockroaches appear to worsen asthma symptoms more than other known factors.
The famous resistance of Cockroaches:
Cockroaches are one of the insects that commonly become pests . They are among the most resilient animals on the planet . Some species can remain active for a month without food or survive on very limited resources. They can even survive without air for 45 minutes or slow their heart rate . At times, they give the impression of being from another planet. And it is estimated that they have been present on Earth for at least 300 million years , according to studies and fossil evidence.
There is a popular belief that cockroaches will repopulate the Earth if humanity were to disappear due to a nuclear war. This is because cockroaches have a greater resistance to radiation than vertebrates , with a lethal dose between 6 and 15 times higher than that of humans.
Due to their resistance, they constitute one of the most difficult pests to control , as is the case with bed bugs.
Its body is oval and flattened. The small head is usually protected by a shield shaped pronotum. Small eyes, long, flattened, prickly feet, and chewing mouthparts.
Cockroaches are not so bad:
Cockroaches are professional recyclers and will devour almost anything, including dead plants and animals, and animal waste. Their digestive systems are up to the task because they contain bacteria and protozoa that help convert the world's waste into easily absorbed nutrients.
Furthermore, thanks to their extremely resistant characteristics, they are being used for bio-monitoring of environmental health.
Discussing recent advances in neurotoxicology, immunotoxicology, developmental and reproductive toxicology, environmental forensic entomotoxicology, and environmental toxicology that substantiate the usefulness of the cockroach (Periplaneta americana, Blaptica dubia, Blattella germanica, and Nauphoeta cinerea) in addressing toxicological mechanisms, as well as a environmental pollution sensor.
Where are Cockroaches found:
Some species are closely associated with homes and are found near garbage cans, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in warm and humid areas, in drains, or even in sewers . They live in a wide variety of environments, but prefer the warm conditions inside buildings.
It is estimated that only about 20 species of cockroaches out of the 3.500 identified species can bother humans.
In Europe, 3 types of cockroaches stand out:
-
GERMAN COCKROACH (Blattella germanica)
Garnet in color with a length of 13 to 16 mm and wings that cover the tip of the abdomen. We can detect them thanks to their droppings: particles like pepper on the wall, near the shelters. They are lovers of warm and humid areas. They prefer kitchens and bathrooms. She likes to get into tight fissures. Her life ranges from 3 to 6 months.
-
ORIENTAL COCKROACH (Blatta orientalis)
Dark, from reddish brown to black and with a length of 20 to 35 mm. Vestiges of wings in females; short wings in males. Their droppings will be similar to mouse droppings, with a rounded end and a pointed end. They like to live below ground level, in small, damp spaces, basements and drains, between 20 and 29 C, although they are quite tolerant of low temperatures. They live from 4 to 6 months.
-
AMERICAN COCKROACH (Periplaneta americana)
Brown in color, with clear markings on the pronotum, they are the largest, ranging from 28 to 53 mm in length. Only in adults there are wings. In the female of equal length to the abdomen. In the male they extend beyond the tip of the abdomen. We will detect excrements similar to those of the mouse but without a tip and ribbed. It prefers warm, moist basements (optimal between 21-33C) and sewers. Look for food mainly on the first floor. They live from 14 to 15 months.
