Complete Cockroach Control: Treatment, Removal & Permanent Exclusion
Creepy, crawly, and potentially dangerous, cockroaches are one of the most common (and dreaded) residential pests.
According to the United States Census Bureau, more than 14 million homes experience cockroach infestations every year.
Cockroaches are unpleasant to look at. Worse, they can pose a health hazard. Droppings potentially trigger asthma attacks. Eggs, saliva, and feces may trigger allergies. Additionally, cockroaches can spread streptococcus and salmonella to food.
These pests can be difficult to control, which is why it’s best to work with a professional roach exterminator with the necessary skills, experience, and equipment for the job.
What to Expect from Cockroach Control Services
To effectively eliminate cockroaches, USX Pest works in partnership with our customers. We start by conducting a free inspection to assess the situation.
From there, we develop a plan tailored to the unique blueprint of your home.
Cockroach Treatment
The sooner we can start treating your home, the better. In addition to the initial cockroach treatment, we also provide repeat treatments as needed.
Ongoing Monitoring & Follow-Up Visits
Cockroach removal isn’t a once-and-done procedure. We work with you to plan our follow-up visits to ensure we get rid of cockroaches for good.
How to Prepare for Cockroach Removal
We recommend taking several steps to get the most out of the treatment. Preparation includes five steps, beginning with a thorough housecleaning.
Clean Your Home
Scrub and vacuum your floors. Dust and wipe hard surfaces. Get rid of garbage and clean under and behind appliances.
Store Food
Do not leave food out and uncovered. Use airtight containers to store food items and pet food.
Remove Small Appliances
During treatment, it’s best if the counters are clean and clear. Store containers and small appliances in cupboards or closets.
Remove & Wash Linens
Remove the bedding off and take window treatments down. Machine wash all linens using the hottest water and dry them using high heat. Don’t replace them until the treatment is administered.
Get Rid of Clutter
Go through that pile of junk mail, recycle old newspapers, and cardboard boxes. The less clutter, the more effective our cockroach control efforts will be.
Signs That It’s Time to Call a Roach Exterminator
Cockroaches thrive in warm, humid places and love lurking in dark, small spaces. These scavengers love to eat grease, meat, sweets, and starches. They also eat book binding glue and flakes of dead skin.
These pests hide in dark cracks, crevices, and spaces during the day. You may find them under cabinets, inside the walls, and in your basement. Other signs of a cockroach infestation include:
- Finding droppings, which look like coffee grounds or pepper.
- Smelling a musty odor, which occurs with larger infestations.
- Seeing dead roaches or egg pouches.
