OUR TREATMENT APPROACH

How We Get Rid of Roaches

Where roaches hide, how we exterminate them, and how to get your home ready.

Where do roaches hide?

Winged carpenter ants are often mistaken for termites, and the two do damage differently. Carpenter ants tunnel through wood and insulation to make nests, while termites eat the wood itself. If you’ve found winged insects inside, don’t guess. A professional can identify what you have so you know what you’re dealing with.

How do you exterminate roaches?

We find the roaches invading your space, exterminate them, and keep them out. That starts with locating the hiding places and the routes between food, water, and shelter. After treatment, we recommend steps to prevent them from returning.

How should I prepare for roach treatment?

Our treatment preparation sheets explain how to get ready. In general, roaches prefer starches, sweets, grease, and meat products, so clearing food debris, grease, and clutter near appliances and baseboards helps the treatment work.

What to Know About Roaches and What Affects the Cost

What do German cockroaches look like?

The German cockroach is the most common roach in the Northwest. It’s about one-half to five-eighths of an inch long, tan to light brown, with two dark brown stripes just behind the head. A female produces four to eight egg capsules in her lifetime, each holding about 40 offspring, which is why small problems grow quickly.

Are roaches a health risk?

Yes. Cockroaches carry a variety of bacteria that can cause illnesses ranging from food poisoning to dysentery. They eat almost anything organic, including leather, glue, hair, and the starch in book bindings, so they can contaminate more than your pantry. That’s why a roach problem is a health hazard, not only a nuisance.

What affects the cost of roach control?

The cost depends on the size of the infestation, how many rooms or units are affected, the size of the property, and how many visits it takes. Businesses that handle food often need more frequent service. We give free estimates by phone.

ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Roach Control FAQs

Helpful answers before you book a roach inspection.

Are roaches dangerous?

Yes. Cockroaches carry a variety of bacteria that can cause illnesses ranging from food poisoning to dysentery. That’s why a roach problem in a home or business is a health hazard, not just a nuisance. The sooner you treat it, the sooner you can protect your family, your customers, and your food.

What kind of roach do I have?

The German cockroach is the most common in the Northwest. It’s about one-half to five-eighths of an inch long, tan to light brown, with two dark brown stripes behind the head. If you’ve found a different insect, a technician can identify it and recommend the right treatment.

Why am I seeing roaches during the day?

Roaches spend daylight hours hiding in dark, secluded places and come out at night to forage for food and water. A roach in the daytime may indicate a large population, because the hiding places are crowded. It’s a good time to call for an inspection.

Do roaches mean my home is dirty?

Not necessarily. Roaches are attracted to warm, moist environments and will eat almost anything organic, including starches, sweets, grease, and meat products. Clean homes get roaches too. Good sanitation helps treatment work, but it doesn’t guarantee they won’t move in.
