Most cockroaches prefer to live and nest inside dark, damp, and secluded areas like gardens, behind tree barks, in sewers, trash piles, and around drains. They are nocturnal, hiding during the day and emerging at night to forage for food. Keeping cockroaches away from your Marietta home or business is vital for several reasons. They carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites on their bodies, legs, and feces. Their feces and shed skins trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks, especially in young children. Cockroaches also secrete a substance that stains surfaces and produce bad odors. They find their way inside on their own while foraging for food or inside used appliances, packages, moving boxes, or potted plants.
