Is Roach Extermination Dangerous?

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

Many who look into roach exterminators fear that the extermination process will have negative healthy consequences for them. This is a fair point, since it is indeed true that exterminators do use many different types of chemicals to kill the roaches in your house.

Be comforted, though, that most exterminators won’t start out by simply gassing your whole house. To begin the process, most roach exterminators will simply start with all the common sense measures you could do your self (in theory). They will block of entrances, and place boric acid in strategic locations, all safe and proven methods. Because of their expertise and skill, they can often to all this much more efficiently that the average person, which can make them worth it. Plus, who wants to go crawling around the dark corners in the basement doing this stuff?

If the above techniques prove ineffective, then they have to bring out the big guns. These chemicals are often proprietary, so there’s no way anyone can say exactly what level of harm they might cause. To make matters worse, many exterminators have contracts that remove them from the legal consequences of their spraying system. Fortunately, many thousands of people a year get these sprayings done without any serious ill consequences. There are exceptions, but keep in mind that these roach exterminators do want you to be pleased with their service, so they make great efforts to reduce toxicity.

However, if you’re unusually sensitive to chemicals, you may want to consider more natural roach extermination methods. If you just want them dead, and feel like you’ll be OK with a little bit of residual chemicals, go ahead and call up that local roach exterminator.
