Cockroach Control

Cockroach Pest Control

Cockroaches are some of the most dirty and pervasive pests that can be found cohabitating wherever humans are. They scavenge on the leftovers that human society leaves behind which is why they are commonly found near trash inside or around homes, restaurants, and stores. This is problematic because they also contaminate everything they touch with dangerous pathogens. If you have seen cockroaches or signs of cockroach activity, call All in One Pest Control to get a licensed cockroach exterminator out today for an inspection.

Inspection: This is the first step necessary in determining the best cockroach treatment plan. The location of cockroach activity needs to be discovered before treatment can be applied.


Chemical Pesticide Sprays: This is usually the most common method of treatment and prevention. Local spot treatments can target active cockroach nests and kill on contact but won’t stay effective for too long. Residual pesticide sprays can be used to treat an area where cockroaches may traverse. The cockroaches won’t be able to survive if they come in contact with the pesticide. These pesticides can be used as exterior perimeter sprays to prevent cockroaches from finding their way inside.


Pesticide Dusts: Dusts can be utilized in places that are hard to reach that a spray won’t get to. This can be injected into cracks and crevices and even inside wall cavities. These dusts can also include boric acid and diatomaceous earth.


Baiting Stations: Baits are a commonly used treatment strategy that draws cockroaches in with a poison attractant. The roach eats a little of the poison before dying somewhere where other cockroaches may come into contact with the body. Since cockroaches are scavengers and cannibals, they will consume the bodies and get infected causing a nest to eventually collapse as the cockroaches die.


Glue Traps: These are commonly known as roach motels that use sticky adhesives to trap cockroaches inside. They are placed strategically in areas of high cockroach activity to determine how active cockroaches still are after treatment.


Cockroach Exclusion: This would seal up any openings and cracks that cockroaches might be using to access a home or business. An experienced pest control expert will be able to help identify these places of concern and help seal them up to prevent access.

How Did I Get Cockroaches?


Cockroaches are extremely invasive and can find their way into you home in all kinds of ways. They can find their way in from:

  • The store or market via groceries and other stored food items
  • Infested appliances that have been sold on the 2nd hand market
  • Another infested unit that shares a wall with your home
  • Cracks and crevices that provide them access inside
  • Open doors or windows that provide them access from outside

What Attracts Cockroaches

Food: Roaches are scavengers that eat just about anything including all of the food that humans consume. They are attracted to the smell of any food left out and will make themselves comfortable when resources are readily available.

Shelter: Cockroaches can live in just about any environment, but they still prefer to live in areas that are damp and within a reasonable temperature range. When the elements get too extreme, cockroaches will move indoors to escape extreme highs and lows. This is why you will see increased cockroach activity in the winter and peak summers.

Water: Cockroaches are attracted to damp and humid areas which indicate a fresh source of water. This explains why cockroaches can be found in areas with leaky pipes and faucets. 

Signs of Cockroaches

Identifying early signs of cockroach activity is important to successful treatment. The larger a cockroach population gets, the harder it is to completely eradicate them. Be on the lookout for:

  • Molted cockroach skins
  • Oval brown egg cases called ootheca
  • Dead or active cockroaches
  • Droppings that resemble pepper
  • Musky smell

Cockroach Lifespan

Cockroaches reproduce at a fast pace with some species producing up to 320 eggs in their lifetime. Young cockroaches called nymphs go through five to ten stages of molting before reaching adulthood. Cockroaches can produce eggs sacks as soon as they reach adulthood with egg gestation lasting about a month. Overall, most cockroaches live between six months to a year, but can survive up to a couple years in optimal conditions without predators. 

Are Cockroaches Dangerous?

Cockroaches can contaminate your food with dangerous pathogens that they pick up as they crawl through trash. They are common carriers of E. Coli, salmonella, and several other diseases that can cause stomach problems if consumed. This is why it is important to treat areas where food is handled that have shown signs of recent cockroach activity. 

Types of Cockroaches 

American Cockroaches: These bugs are typically the biggest cockroach found in CA. They are reddish brown and can fly.

Brown Banded Cockroaches: The brown bands on their backs stand out against their lighter brown color.

German Cockroaches: German nest in large numbers and will spread through a home quickly. They prefer dark, damp areas in the kitchen and bathrooms of a home.

Oriental Cockroaches: These are distinguishable by their dark or black color. They are found near water sources and are the cockroaches you see around sewers.

Cockroach Prevention

Most cockroach infestations can be easily prevented by removing the things they are looking for to survive. That being said, additional measures can be taken to ensure that roaches don’t find their way in. Implementing exclusion strategies like sealing cracks and door sweeps can minimize access points around the house that let cockroaches in. Storing food properly and doing dishes promptly will help reduce food attractants. If renting, let your landlord or property manager know of any leaks, damage, or signs of cockroach activity immediately to help eliminate the problem quickly.
