Our Service
We treat cockroaches by applying live treatment over the nests and potentially infected areas. The pesticide we use will typically have a transfer effect. This will deliver the pesticide to other hidden pests as well. Finally, we will apply preventive chemical treatment, which is expected to last for at least 6 months.
Why Are They A Problem?
Cockroaches are considered pests due to their potential of contaminating everything they walk over. They spread diseases such as E. coli, salmonella, staphylococcus, typhoid fever, and a variety of gastrointestinal contaminants. They can infect anything from residential complexes to business establishments and are overall a health hazard.

- Control Incoming Goods: A cockroach can hitchhike a ride in a box coming to your home. You may want to carefully inspect all the boxes that enter your house. If you can, open them on the porch.
- Seal the Cracks: Cockroaches can crawl in your home using cracks and gaps in your walls. You should seal all potential entry points to prevent them from coming in.
- Plug the Drains: Pests like damp spots, so there is a good chance they will be coming up through the drain. To prevent them from getting inside, you should keep the drains plugged in when the water is not running.
- Remove the Clutter: Clutter-filled homes are a paradise bugs and insects, as they offer plenty of spaces to hide in. To make your home feel less cosy to them, you might want to make sure it stays clean and free of clutter.
- Eat In Only One Room: When you have breakfast in the kitchen, lunch in front of the TV, and dinner in your bedroom, you’ll be leaving food crumbs everywhere. These attract creepy crawlies, so make sure you limit your eating areas.
- Put Lids on Leftovers: All types of pests love leftover food. Not only will forgotten food attract them, but it will also give them the chance to contaminate your food. Keep things under the lid to prevent that.
- Take Out the Trash: Trash also has leftovers, which tend to attract roaches. Take it our regularly to prevent an infestation.
- Keep the Floors Clean: Leftover crumbs falling on the floor is asking for trouble. You may want to sweep or vacuum the floors regularly to prevent the pests from having a reason to stay.
