Professional Cockroach Control
Cockroaches are resilient pests that multiply rapidly. Our targeted treatments eliminate infestations at their source and prevent reoccurrence.
Comprehensive Roach Elimination
Cockroaches are among the most resilient and unsanitary household pests. They spread bacteria, contaminate food, and trigger asthma and allergy symptoms, particularly in children. A single German cockroach can produce thousands of descendants in a year, and they are expert at hiding in cracks, crevices, and wall voids during the day. Over-the-counter treatments rarely reach the hidden populations where roaches breed. Our professional cockroach control uses a combination of gel baits, growth regulators, and crack-and-crevice treatments that target roaches where they live and breed, breaking the reproduction cycle and eliminating the infestation completely.

Common Cockroach Species We Treat
American Cockroaches
The largest common household cockroach, reddish-brown and up to 2 inches long. Often called 'water bugs,' they prefer warm, damp areas like basements, crawl spaces, and around drains and sewer lines.
Brown-Banded Cockroaches
Smaller roaches with distinctive light brown bands across their wings. They prefer warm, dry areas and are often found in upper cabinets, behind picture frames, and near electronics — unlike other roaches that stay near moisture.
Oriental Cockroaches
Dark brown to black roaches often called 'black beetles.' They are strongly associated with damp environments like basements, floor drains, and crawl spaces. They produce a strong, musty odor.
Our Cockroach Control Process
Every treatment follows our proven three-step approach to eliminate pests and keep them from coming back.
Inspect
We identify the cockroach species, assess the severity of the infestation, and locate harborage areas including cracks, crevices, wall voids, and plumbing penetrations where roaches hide and breed.
Treat
Targeted gel baits, insect growth regulators, and crack-and-crevice applications are placed in harborage areas. These treatments reach roaches where they live and are carried back to hidden populations.
Prevent
We seal entry points around plumbing penetrations, address moisture issues, and provide follow-up treatments to break the reproduction cycle. Monitoring stations track activity levels between visits.
Signs of a Cockroach Problem
- Live roaches seen scurrying when you turn on lights in the kitchen or bathroom
- Small, dark droppings that look like ground pepper or coffee grounds
- Brown, capsule-shaped egg cases (oothecae) in cabinets, behind appliances, or along crevices
- A musty, oily odor in areas with heavy roach activity
- Smear marks along walls or countertops near water sources
Cockroach Prevention Tips
Reduce your risk of infestation with these expert recommendations.
Fix leaking faucets and pipes — cockroaches need water even more than food to survive.
Keep kitchen and bathroom areas clean, wiping down surfaces after each use.
Seal gaps around plumbing penetrations under sinks and behind toilets with caulk.
Store food in sealed containers and avoid leaving pet food out overnight.
Take trash out regularly and use trash cans with tight-fitting lids.
Reduce clutter, especially cardboard boxes, which roaches use for harborage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are cockroaches so hard to get rid of?
Cockroaches reproduce extremely fast, hide deep in walls and crevices during the day, and have developed resistance to many over-the-counter pesticides. Professional treatments target their harborage areas with products specifically formulated to break their reproduction cycle.
Does seeing one cockroach mean I have an infestation?
Unfortunately, if you see one cockroach during the day, there are likely many more hiding out of sight. Roaches are nocturnal — daytime sightings typically indicate the population has grown large enough that hiding spaces are overcrowded.
How long does it take to eliminate cockroaches?
German cockroach infestations typically require 2-3 treatments spaced 2-3 weeks apart to fully eliminate. The initial treatment reduces the visible population significantly, and follow-up treatments target newly hatched nymphs before they can reproduce.
