asthma<\/a> attack can be attributed to cockroach allergens.<\/p>\nIn some areas, most homes have a cockroach problem. A house can harbor thousands or even hundred\u2019s of thousands of insects, generating a very large amount of air-bourn allergens within the home.<\/p>\n
If you see just a single insect, you can be almost certain that it represents hundreds or thousands of others, hidden in cupboards, in walls, under the sink, behind the fridge etc.<\/p>\n
The insects or their eggs can hitch a ride into your home with groceries, second hand furniture and other items brought into the home. In some areas they may simply crawl in from the outside.<\/p>\n
Apartment buildings are worse, since once one unit gets infested, the insects can easily find their way into other units.<\/p>\n
The best way to deal with a cockroach allergy is to get rid of the insects. Hire a professional pest control company, and if possible, stay out of the house for several days to minimize your exposure to the toxic chemicals used to exterminate cockroaches.<\/p>\n
