Cockroach Pest Control Service

Cockroaches are scavenger pests that have evolved to live off the scraps of humans. These pests prefer starchy food substances, cereals, sugar products, cheese, grease and meat. They have also been known to consume cardboard, glue, leather and hair. Roaches form colonies in areas unseen around kitchens and bathrooms. Most cockroaches are known for squeezing in tight spaces to breed.

Cockroaches can enter a home or business in a few different ways. Some are able to access a kitchen or bathroom through the pipes, others come inside when doors and windows are left open, and some can move through shared walls in multi-unit structures. No matter how a cockroach gains entrance to your home, the infestation must be stopped immediately. When you see one cockroach, there are probably many more in areas you can't see. Cockroaches are a health concern because they breed and live in and around food prepping areas. Cockroach droppings can cause asthma and as well as spread disease, which is why it is very important to treat an infestation as soon as you see the first roach.

Cockroach Treatment

When treating cockroach infestations, we will begin the process by sending a professional, state-licensed and certified technician to inspect your property and determine what type of infestation you're experiencing. Once our technician has found the source of the infestaiton, they will customize a plan to rid your home, restaurant, or office of roaches. After the initial treatment, we recommend beginning a regular treatment plan to keep cockroaches out all year long.

Cockroach Baiting

Indoor cockroach infestations are best treated with a combination of gel baits which is a non-repellant pesticde. Gel baits work by placing the gel in cracks and crevices around the infested areas. Cockroaches are known for squeezing into these tight spaces and they will consume the gel. The gel is later regurgitated for the nest, which then exposes the colony to the pesticide in the gel bait. This is a preferred method of treatment because traditional sprays cannot always reach the colonies in infested areas.
