Results You Can Count On, Service You’ll Recommend

Cockroaches 

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.


Identification

  • 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


Where Cockroaches Are Found

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


Why Cockroaches Are a Problem

  • 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


Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

  • 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


Prevention Tips

  • 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

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
