Not all roaches are the same problem. Our cockroach control technicians identify the species first, because it decides everything.
German cockroaches
Half an inch, tan, two dark stripes behind the head. Live indoors near food and water, breed explosively, and arrive in boxes, appliances and from adjoining apartments. Treated with gel baits and growth regulators in harborage — never sprays, which scatter them.
American cockroaches
Up to two inches, reddish brown, often called palmetto bugs in the South. Come in from sewers, drains, mulch and crawlspaces. Treated at the exterior and the entry points, with drain and crawlspace work.
Oriental cockroaches
Dark, slow, love damp basements and floor drains. Common in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Washington.
What not to do
Bug bombs and repellent sprays. They push roaches deeper and split populations across units.
