Cockroach Infestation — Valencia, Valencian Community
Spotting even a single cockroach during the day usually signals a larger colony hiding in walls, under appliances, or inside drain lines. Cockroaches carry bacteria, trigger allergies and asthma, and reproduce extremely fast. A pest-control technician applies gel baits, growth regulators, and residual sprays to eliminate the colony at its source and advises on sanitation changes that reduce re-infestation risk.
