Technicians inspect kitchen and bathroom areas to find active harborage spots. We use cockroach baits, targeted crack-and-crevice applications, wall void dusts and sticky monitors to track activity. The technician will advise how many follow-up visits your situation requires.

German cockroach questions

How do German cockroaches differ from outdoor roaches?

German cockroaches reside indoors, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms, and multiply rapidly. Outdoor species like Turkestan roaches live in yard structures and utility boxes.

Why are German cockroaches found in kitchens?

German cockroaches live indoors near food and water, mostly in kitchens and bathrooms. They contaminate food surfaces with droppings and shed skins. Our technicians use targeted baits and interior crack-and-crevice applications where activity is found.

Can a German cockroach issue be resolved in one visit?

Indoor cockroach control usually requires follow-up visits. Your technician identifies conditions during inspection and outlines the expected follow-up schedule.

Dana did a blacklight inspection at night and found bark scorpions in our block wall. She treated the yard and installed weep screen guards. Now our Scorpion Plan includes visits every two months.

We needed a formal Wood Destroying Insect report to sell our house. Marco came out and inspected the slab and garage thoroughly. He sent the written report to our agent the next business day.

We heard scratching in the attic. Luis found where roof rats were getting in, sealed the entry points with steel mesh, and set traps. He came back to check the traps just like he promised.

We use the quarterly plan for ants and spiders. When we saw a few ants return near the kitchen in summer, they came back out and treated the area again at no charge.

Kim gave us a written checklist to prepare our bedrooms for bed bug treatment. She treated the furniture and baseboards, then returned about two weeks later to check for activity.

Whiptail handles the pest control for our restaurant. They schedule our service twice a month before we open. We get a written report after every visit and keep a logbook on site for audits.
