German cockroaches are the most common indoor species in the US. They are small, light brown, and reproduce extremely rapidly. A single female produces up to 30,000 offspring per year. German cockroaches are most commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms near food and moisture.
American cockroaches are large reddish-brown roaches also called palmetto bugs. They enter homes through drains, pipes, and gaps in foundations. Common in Florida, Texas, and southern states.
Oriental cockroaches prefer damp, cool areas like basements, crawl spaces, and drains. They are dark brown to black and produce a distinctive musty odor.
Smoky brown cockroaches are common in the Southeast and enter homes through gaps around doors, windows, and utility lines.
Gel bait treatment is the most effective method for German cockroaches. A licensed exterminator applies small dots of highly attractive gel bait in cracks, crevices, and hiding spots. Cockroaches eat the bait, return to the nest, and the active ingredient spreads through the entire colony eliminating it from the inside out. Gel bait is odorless, safe for kitchens, and works within days.
Residual spray treatment creates a chemical barrier on surfaces that kills cockroaches on contact for 30 to 90 days. Used for American and Oriental cockroaches entering from outside.
Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) prevents cockroach eggs from hatching and nymphs from maturing, breaking the reproduction cycle for long-term control.
Boric acid application is applied in wall voids, under appliances, and behind cabinets as a long-lasting residual treatment that cockroaches walk through and ingest.
A single cockroach treatment costs $100 to $300. Severe infestations requiring multiple visits cost $300 to $600. Monthly or quarterly pest plans covering cockroaches and other pests cost $40 to $70 per month. Call 1-844-755-1266 for a free quote and same-day appointment near you.
Why do I have cockroaches if my house is clean? Cockroaches enter homes through grocery bags, cardboard boxes, used appliances, and gaps around pipes. Even very clean homes can develop infestations. Professional treatment is the only reliable solution for established colonies.
How long does cockroach treatment take to work? Gel bait treatment typically shows results within 3 to 5 days. Complete elimination of a German cockroach infestation usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. Your exterminator will schedule a follow-up inspection to confirm results.
Are cockroach treatments safe for my family? Yes. Licensed exterminators use EPA-registered products in targeted applications. Gel bait is placed in cracks and crevices where children and pets cannot access it. Most treatments require no evacuation.
