FAQ’s; Safe & Effective Large Roach Treatments
Are your roach control treatments safe for my family and pets?
Yes. Our roach control treatments are designed to be safe for your family and pets when applied correctly. We use EPA-registered products and follow strict safety guidelines to ensure your home remains safe.
How quickly can I expect to see results from your roach control treatment?
Most homes will see a significant reduction in roach activity within 1 day of our professional treatment.
Why are roaches attracted to cardboard boxes?
Cardboard boxes provide ideal hiding spots and a food source for roaches. To minimize infestations, avoid storing items in cardboard boxes, especially in damp or cluttered areas.
Do I need to vacate my home during the large roach treatment?
No, you can typically remain in your home during our large roach control treatment. Our technicians use safe and effective methods that minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Can a roach treatment also eliminate ants?
While a roach treatment may temporarily reduce ant activity, it won’t solve an underlying ant infestation. For effective ant control, specific treatments targeting ants are necessary.
We offer specialized treatments for various ant species, including Ghost Ants, Fire Ants, and Carpenter Ants. We can treat for ants & roaches at the same time.
Is roach control included in your routine pest control service?
Yes, our routine pest control service includes comprehensive coverage for common household pests, including large roaches. Our trained technicians will inspect your property, identify potential infestation points, and implement effective treatment strategies.
Can your large roach treatment also control German cockroaches?
While our large roach treatment can partially address German Cockroach infestations, it’s not as effective as our specialized German roach treatment. For the most effective control of both pests, we recommend a combined treatment, which may qualify for a discounted rate.
Why am I seeing large roaches in my home?
Where Roaches Can Hide: The Unexpected Sources. Roaches can sneak into your home from a variety of surprising sources. Here are some common ways they can invade:
