Cockroach Control in North County San Diego
GeRMAN Cockroach
German Cockroaches are the most common and most difficult to control household cockroach. They are yellowish brown in color and have two dark stripes on the head that run from front to back. They are typically between 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch long. They are abundant in places where there is food & water such as kitchens and bathrooms. These insects are usually brought into a structure in grocery bags or boxes and breed easily.
Oriental Cockroach
The Oriental Cockroach looks dark brown to black with a greasy sheen and is about one inch in length. They prefer dark, damp, cooler areas, such as under sinks, washing machines, spaces between soil and buildings, under stoops, and landscape mulch. This species is of much more concern because they often travel through sewer pipes and live in filth.
HOW DID I GET COCKROACHES?
Cockroaches commonly enter homes through cracks, pipes, and sewer systems or are brought in via paper bags, cardboard boxes, electronics, furniture, luggage and produce. In apartments, condominiums, and townhomes, cockroaches easily move between units traveling through walls infesting rooms as they spread. Once inside, cockroaches search for sources of food and water, which is the reason they are most commonly found in kitchens under the sink, in garbage containers or inside of cabinets.

We Take The Hassle Out Of PEst Control
Over-the-counter cockroach control products are often incorrectly applied or combined with other counteractive pesticides, forcing you to spend more money on more products. The products a licensed professional company can utilize are much more effective than the products available to consumers. When homeowners do the math, they quickly realize that after purchasing the products and the time they spend applying them, they could have had a professional take care of the problem for the same or less amount of money.
Initial Cockroach Control Service
For the best results possible, your home will need to be prepared for treatment. This includes removing all dishes, cookware and food from cabinets in your kitchen and bathroom. After removal, thoroughly wipe down all surfaces inside the cabinets.
Initial treatment involves non-repellent chemicals, undetectable to cockroaches. The treatment is transferred from cockroach to cockroach, killing the colony just like a virus. After treatment, we require all treated areas to remain clean and uncluttered to ensure total knockdown. You will notice a continuing reduction in cockroach infestation levels around your home. Eggs will hatch and you may still see insects between the initial service and the first regular service until control is achieved. Your first regular service will begin approximately one month after the initial service.
Regular Cockroach Control Service
Your first regular service will break the life cycle of the insects around your home and help to prevent future invasions. Beginning a regular service program 30 days after the initial service is the key to permanently controlling pests around the home. Once you have had your first regular service, pest presence will be reduced to a minimum level. Through ongoing regular scheduled services, your home will continue to be pest free.
Our Service is Always Guaranteed
