What Makes Cockroaches So Dangerous?
Cockroaches can carry bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella, and listeria, contaminating surfaces, food and utensils. Their droppings can trigger allergic reactions and asthma—especially in children.
Common types in Marbella include:
- German cockroach (Blattella germanica) – fast-spreading, often in kitchens
- American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) – large, prefers warm and humid places
- Oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis) – thrives in damp basements and drainage systems
Without professional fumigation, colonies can survive behind walls, under appliances or inside pipes.
