Cockroaches (or roaches^[2][3][4]) are insects belonging to the order Blattodea (Blattaria). About 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. Some species are well-known pests.

Modern cockroaches are an ancient group that first appeared during the Late Jurassic, with their ancestors, known as “roachoids“, likely originating during the Carboniferous period around 320 million years ago. Those early ancestors, however, lacked the internal ovipositors of modern roaches. Cockroaches are somewhat generalized insects lacking special adaptations (such as the sucking mouthparts of aphids and other true bugs); they have chewing mouthparts and are probably among the most primitive of living Neopteran insects. They are common and hardy insects capable of tolerating a wide range of climates, from Arctic cold to tropical heat. Tropical cockroaches are often much larger than temperate species.

Modern cockroaches are not considered to be a monophyletic group, as it has been found based on genetics that termites are deeply nested within the group, with some groups of cockroaches more closely related to termites than they are to other cockroaches, thus rendering Blattaria paraphyletic. Both cockroaches and termites are included into Blattodea.

If you own a business that has food within your 4+ walls, you most likely have cockroaches. Implementing a robust IPM (Integrated Pest Management) program will assist in controlling, and eventually eliminating these pesky bugs. It is an uphill battle for sure – we are not going to sugarcoat that. BUT, if you do not do something, it will get much worse before it gets much better.

In Summary

The cold reality is most of these off the shelf products do not work. There is a reason a pest control company has to have certified technicians, and the products purchased are higher grade, sometimes RUP (restricted use pesticides). You cannot just go to any store and buy our products. Want to know what we are talking about? Go here – you have to be a certified tech, have a business, etc. etc. to even talk to them. So, while the general public goes into the Amazon to buy product, they are wasting their time, energy, money, etc. Just hire a pro. You don’t have to hire 86Bugs.com to get the job done, but it’s a good start to get results. We use the highest grade products from Target-specialties to get you the highest grade results!
