Roaches are highly adaptable and thrive in a variety of environments. They reproduce quickly, with German roaches producing multiple egg cases (oothecae) in their short lifespan. These pests are nocturnal, preferring to stay hidden in dark, warm spaces during the day and foraging for food at night. Roaches are scavengers and will eat anything from crumbs to paper and glue.
If you see small droppings, egg cases, or smear marks along walls and cabinets, you likely have roaches. Seeing them during the day is a sign of a heavy infestation.
Yes. Roaches spread at least five known diseases, including salmonella and E. coli. They contaminate food and surfaces by regurgitating like flies.
Store-bought sprays and baits may kill some roaches, but infestations require professional treatment. Roaches are highly resilient and quickly develop resistance to common pesticides.
German roach infestations can take several months to fully eliminate, depending on severity. American and Oriental roaches are typically easier to manage but require ongoing preventative treatments.
For German roach treatments, clear out cabinets, remove food sources, and declutter affected areas. For American and Oriental roaches, fixing moisture issues helps make the treatment more effective.
We use a mix of non-repellent insecticides, growth regulators, and bait stations. We've eliminated 9 of the harshest chemicals common in the industry and replaced them with better alternatives like Essentria, Alpine, Sentricon, and Borate-based solutions.
In most cases, no. However, we may recommend staying out of heavily treated areas for a few hours while treatments dry.
We provide free unlimited callbacks as part of our service. If roaches return between scheduled treatments, we come back at no cost until the issue is under control.
