5. What are my treatment options?
   
   
6. Would I benefit from allergy shots?
   
   
7. What steps can I take to remove cockroach debris from my home? Is professional extermination enough?
   
   
8. How soon after professional extermination and a thorough cleaning should I see an improvement in my symptoms?
