They also carry antigens that can prove hazardous to asthma patients. While most of the species of cockroach display similar characteristics, let us explore more information about the American Cockroach, one of the largest species from this family of pests.

The American Cockroach

Being recorded its total length around one and half-inch, this is known as the largest cockroach in the United States. Although this species (adult) has fully developed flying abilities, they hardly fly. They display these flying abilities in particularly warm weather to escape from the heat.

American Cockroach Reproduction

Thousands of young ones can be produced by a single couple of most species of cockroaches, throughout the year. Being recorded, a female is capable of producing up to 50 sacks, each measuring 8mm X 5mm counting 10-16 eggs per sack. The sacks are most often attached to objects that are transported… for example, wooden crates or cardboard boxes. In 6-12 months the larvae mature. The cockroach achieves maturity after 10 months to a year and lives only for an additional year.

American Cockroach Habitat

They are generally found in damp, warm, and dark places, away from human activities like roof areas, subfloors, rubbish dumps, and unoccupied dwellings. They mostly prefer rotting organic waste as a primary food source; although they have great abilities to survive without food for months.pest control

Their habitat comprises areas containing moisture and food, usually near human activities like near water heaters or under sinks and cupboards, pantries, and kitchen. They have another amazing ability -to keep themselves in the narrowest gaps like cracks and cervices as they can pull their fore and hind legs extremely close to the body. If you happen to see a cockroach during the daylight then maybe you are seeing only the tip of an iceberg because cockroaches are nocturnal insects.

Your father passed away a few months ago and you live thousands of miles from where he retired.

You called a realtor, put the house up for sale, and it sold quickly. The buyers want possession in 30 days and the house is full of dad’s things.

If the estate is in our area, call us. There’s a good possibility we can have the house empty and a check in your hands before the closing date.

Chances are, we will make you more money than other estate liquidators in the area. Here are 10 reasons why.

For some estates, an outright estate buyout may be the best option. It all depends upon your situation and timing.

Our team sells nearly anything you can name when liquidating an estate and selling estate vehicles is our specialty.

When you call our Estate Sale Company

If you are from out of town, here’s what you can expect:
We’ll discuss the location of the estate, your time requirements, and try to get an idea of the general make up of the items to be sold.

If your estate, the location, and the time frame sound like a possible match for our team, we’ll need to make an onsite visit to assess the “estate value/labor investment ratio” which is what we base our commission rate on.

Since you live out of town, you may not be able to accompany us on this initial “walk through assessment”. Some estate executors provide us a key and we do this step on our own. Or, you may be able to have your realtor accompany us or a friend or neighbor who lives in the area. Whatever suits your level of comfort will suit us.

We Use The Latest Technology To Document Your Items

During our initial walkthrough, we’ll film a short video for you of the estate premises and contents.

This will give you a “refreshed visual image” of what’s there and may help you make a decision regarding things you might want us to set aside for you.

If you hire our company to handle your estate liquidation, you can expect us to be in close contact with you all the way. Technology makes this very convenient.

For instance, anytime we come across an item that we think you may have an interest in, we can take a picture and email it to you on the spot! You can tell us, “Save it for me” or “Sell it”, but we give you that choice.

With your check, we’ll always send you a packet of any photos, important papers, or any items you’ve requested or that we’ve found.

We know it’s hard to be distantly removed from something as overwhelming as liquidating a lifetime of belongings. We strive to keep you “in the loop” in any way we can.

There is never a charge for our consultations and never any “up-front” fees. So, if you see an estate sale in your future, please call us for a free consultation.
