Why Springs homes get cockroaches and ants
Many Springs homes are older, with original plumbing, older kitchens and roof spaces that give cockroaches and ants plenty of places to hide. Large American cockroaches often come up from older drains, while German cockroaches settle behind appliances. Leaks in older plumbing create damp areas that attract both. We treat inside and around the home, and our handyman service can fix leaks and seal gaps that let pests in.
