QU: What are cockroach/mouse allergens? What is it in these pests that causes the problem?Allergens include pest “frass,” or carcasses, feces and other debris.

QU: What happens after you control the pests? If the frass is left behind, won’t it pose a health risk also?
The residual frass is still an allergen, even after the pests are removed. A pest control professional can remove the frass as well.
