Signs of a cockroach infestation include: Cockroach sightings: Spotting live cockroaches, especially at night, in kitchens, bathrooms, or dark corners, is a clear sign of an infestation. Droppings: Small, black droppings resembling ground pepper may be found in areas where cockroaches are active. Unpleasant odor: A strong, musty odor can be present in heavily infested areas due to cockroach secretions. Egg cases (oothecae): Cockroaches lay eggs in capsule-like cases. These brownish cases can be found in dark corners, behind appliances, or in cracks and crevices. Shed skin: As they grow, cockroaches shed their skin. You might find these skins in areas where they hide or breed.

Plumbing and drains: They can crawl up through pipes and drains, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Grocery bags and boxes: Cockroaches can hitch a ride on groceries, packages, or second-hand items brought into your home. Neighboring properties: If you live in an apartment or close quarters, cockroaches can move between units through walls, ceilings, or floors.

Health risks: Cockroaches carry bacteria and allergens that can cause food contamination and trigger asthma or allergic reactions. Rapid reproduction: Cockroaches reproduce quickly, and a small infestation can become severe in a short period if not treated professionally. Thorough treatment: Professionals use advanced methods and insecticides that target all stages of cockroach life, including eggs, ensuring complete eradication.

You will start seeing results within a few days of treatment, with a noticeable reduction in cockroach activity. In some cases, you may see more cockroaches initially as the treatment drives them out of hiding. Complete elimination typically occurs within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the severity of the infestation. Follow-up treatments may be required for severe infestations.

To prevent cockroaches from returning after treatment, follow these preventive steps: Seal cracks and crevices: Block entry points by sealing gaps in doors, windows, and walls. Keep your home clean: Regularly clean kitchens, dining areas, and bathrooms to remove food crumbs and spills that attract cockroaches. Store food properly: Keep food in sealed containers and avoid leaving food out overnight. Dispose of garbage regularly: Use tightly sealed garbage bins and empty them frequently. Fix leaks: Cockroaches need water to survive, so repairing any leaks in pipes or faucets is crucial to prevent infestations.

The frequency of cockroach control treatments depends on the severity of the infestation and the cleanliness of the environment. For homes with severe infestations, an initial treatment followed by a follow-up within a few weeks is recommended. To maintain a cockroach-free home, we suggest scheduling routine pest control treatments every 6 months to a year. For commercial spaces, quarterly treatments may be required to ensure long-term control.

It's normal to see some cockroaches after treatment, as the insecticide takes time to work. However, if you continue to see significant cockroach activity after two weeks, contact us for a follow-up inspection and treatment. We provide effective cockroach control solutions and will ensure your home is free from these pests.
