Cockroaches are one of the most common and troublesome household pests. Known for their ability to adapt and survive in almost any environment, cockroaches contaminate food, spread bacteria, and trigger allergies. A small infestation can quickly grow into a serious health concern if not addressed promptly.
Size: Varies by species, typically 1.5–5 cm in length
Color: Brown to reddish-brown; some species are lighter or darker
Shape: Flattened oval body with long antennae and spiny legs
Common Species in Canada: German cockroach, American cockroach, and Oriental cockroach
Cockroaches thrive in warm, moist, and dark environments where food and water are readily available. Common hiding spots include:
Kitchens (behind appliances, inside cupboards, and under sinks)
Bathrooms (behind toilets, under bathtubs, and around drains)
Basements and utility rooms
Cracks, crevices, and wall voids
Garbage areas and recycling bins
Health Risks: Carry bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, contaminating food and surfaces
Allergens: Cockroach droppings and shed skins can trigger asthma and allergies, especially in children
Rapid Reproduction: A single female can produce hundreds of offspring, leading to large infestations
Unhygienic Conditions: Presence is often associated with filth, but even clean homes and businesses can be affected
Sightings of live or dead cockroaches, especially at night
Fecal droppings resembling black pepper or coffee grounds
Musty, unpleasant odor caused by large infestations
Shed skins or egg casings near baseboards, cupboards, or appliances
Smear marks on walls or surfaces where cockroaches travel frequently
Keep kitchens clean by wiping counters, sweeping floors, and washing dishes promptly
Store food in sealed containers and avoid leaving pet food out overnight
Repair leaks and reduce moisture in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements
Empty garbage bins frequently and keep lids tightly closed
Seal cracks and gaps around pipes, walls, and baseboards to reduce entry points

It’s not every day you feel compelled to write a review about pest control, but Technica Pest Solutions truly earned it. I thought my cockroach issue was going to be an ongoing nightmare, but after their team came in, it was like night and day. The technician, Daniel took the time to explain everything to me, from the treatments to the follow-up process. They didn’t just spray and leave—they provided a customized plan for my home. Technica is a game-changer in pest control.
Daniel was great very efficient and shared his reasoning and knowledge about the treated for our cockroach problem we were dealing with.
We use targeted treatments such as gels, baits, dusts, and residual sprays to eliminate cockroaches at the source. In some cases, we may also apply products into wall voids or use flushing agents to reach hidden areas. Follow-up visits are often recommended to ensure the infestation is fully resolved.
Yes. All of our treatments are designed with safety in mind. We use products that are approved by Health Canada and apply them in targeted areas where pests live and travel, not where your family spends time. When needed, we may recommend keeping pets and children out of treated areas until products have dried—usually just a short time. Our goal is to eliminate pests effectively while keeping your home safe for your loved ones.
Preparation requirements depend on the type of treatment being performed. If preparation is needed, we will provide you with a detailed prep sheet and walk you through the steps to ensure everything is clear before the service.
It’s normal to see some activity for a short period after treatment, as pests come into contact with the products and move out of their hiding places. This typically decreases within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the pest type. If you continue to notice significant activity after the expected timeframe, we’ll work with you to reassess and, if needed, provide follow-up service under your warranty.
