Cockroach Pest Control
Cockroaches are persistent pests that invade homes, contaminating food and spreading allergens. Our professional cockroach control services offer safe, effective treatments to ensure a roach-free environment.
How to Identify Cockroach Infestations in Your Home
Spotting a cockroach infestation early can prevent a major problem. Here’s where to look for signs of roaches in your home:
Kitchen Cabinets
Cockroaches tend to hide in dark, secluded places like cabinets. Look for droppings or egg cases in corners.
Bathroom Plumbing
Roaches thrive in moist areas around plumbing, particularly under sinks and behind toilets. Check for roach trails or live cockroaches.
Cracks and Crevices
Cockroaches often hide in cracks along walls, baseboards, or floors. You may notice droppings in these areas.
Appliance Interiors
Warmth attracts roaches to appliances like refrigerators and ovens. Inspect behind and underneath for any signs.
Underneath Furniture
Dark, undisturbed spots under furniture are often prime hiding places. Look for droppings or small roach shells.
Why Do Cockroaches Invade Homes?
Cockroaches enter homes in search of food, water, and shelter. They can quickly become an infestation, especially in warm, humid environments. Cockroaches feed on almost anything, including food crumbs, grease, and even paper, making kitchens and bathrooms ideal for them. Their presence can cause health issues, as they carry allergens and bacteria that contaminate surfaces.
Prevention Tips
- Keep food stored in sealed containers and clean up crumbs immediately.
- Fix leaks and reduce moisture in your home.
- Seal cracks, gaps, and entry points in walls, windows, and doors.
- Take out garbage regularly to limit roach food sources.
- Declutter and clean areas under appliances and furniture.

Cockroaches - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for cockroaches to go away after pest control?
After a professional cockroach treatment, it typically takes 1-2 weeks for the infestation to be fully eliminated. The exact time depends on the treatment type and the severity of the infestation. During this period, you may see some cockroaches as they are exposed to the treatment and leave their hiding places.
How can I permanently get rid of cockroaches?
To eliminate cockroaches for good, start with professional pest control to address the current infestation. Then, keep your home clean by wiping down surfaces, storing food in airtight containers, and regularly taking out the trash. Seal cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and walls to block entry points. Routine checks and preventive treatments can also help keep your home cockroach-free.
Is cockroach control safe for pets and children?
Yes, professional cockroach control is safe for pets and children. Pest control experts use products designed to be safe in home environments, applying treatments in a way that minimizes risk. You can discuss any concerns with your exterminator to ensure that safety precautions are in place for your family and pets.
What kills cockroaches instantly?
Certain commercial sprays and professional-grade insecticides kill cockroaches on contact. While these treatments work quickly, complete cockroach control requires a comprehensive approach. Cockroaches are resilient, and a full treatment plan is essential for lasting results and to prevent re-infestation.
What do cockroaches hate the most?
Cockroaches dislike strong scents like peppermint, eucalyptus, and citrus, which act as natural repellents. Additionally, they avoid clean, dry areas with limited food and water sources. Keeping your home clean and using natural repellents can help reduce the chances of a cockroach infestation.
How long does a cockroach pest control service take?
A cockroach pest control service typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on your home’s size and the infestation level. During the visit, the exterminator will inspect the property, apply treatments, and provide prevention tips. Follow-up visits may be necessary for severe infestations to ensure all cockroaches are eliminated.
What is the best roach killer for apartments?
- Gel Baits: Gel baits are highly effective for apartment roach control. The attractant lures cockroaches out, and after ingesting the poison, they return to their nests and spread it to others. Popular options include Advion Cockroach Gel Bait and Combat Max Roach Killing Gel.
How to Use: Apply small drops in areas with roach activity, like behind appliances, under sinks, and in crevices. Reapply as needed per the product instructions. - Bait Stations: Bait stations are easy to use and less messy than gels. They contain poison that roaches carry back to their nests.
How to Use: Place bait stations near entry points, along baseboards, and in roach-prone areas. Replace every three months or as recommended. - Boric Acid: Boric acid is a natural, effective roach killer. When cockroaches walk through it, it sticks to their legs, and they ingest it while grooming.
How to Use: Lightly dust boric acid in active areas like under appliances and along baseboards. Avoid applying too much, as thick layers can deter roaches.
For severe infestations, contact a Professional Pest Control service for comprehensive treatment.
