Roaches – even the name itself is enough to make your skin crawl. They can be disturbing to find in your home, which is bad enough. Worse, some species of roaches are known to carry several diseases. They can spread these diseases around your home and cause businesses to lose their reputation.
Roaches are the most common pest around the world. They are also quite difficult to get rid of. If you have a roach infestation in your home or apartment, in areas such as the attic, kitchen cabinets, or the bathroom, you want to get rid of them as fast as possible.
Our roach eradication technicians have years of experience tackling and removing even the most severe infestations. From small homes to huge commercial buildings, we can get rid of roaches effectively.
How Does Roach Treatment Work?
Cockroach eradication treatments can effectively address any infestations and protect you and your family. Most of these treatments use products meant to kill the insect no matter its stage of life. For these treatments to be effective, they must target the areas where roaches live along with the entry points they use to get in and out of the building.
For this reason, proper treatment begins with a thorough inspection. This involves identifying the species of cockroach present in your home and figuring out the area where they may be getting inside. Some common entry points include gaps and cracks in the home’s structure or around doors and windows.
Once the entry points are identified, the technicians may use liquid products to thoroughly treat the home’s exterior, essentially applying it to areas where the cockroaches might enter. Dust-based products might also be used for hard-to-reach places.
How Long Does it Take for the Roaches to Die?
The time it takes for the roach fumigation to get rid of them completely will vary based on the nature and extent of the infestation. There may appear to be more roaches in your home initially as the treatments drive them away from their usual hideouts. But after a few weeks, you should notice a significant reduction in the number of roaches. The cockroach eradication specialists may recommend a follow-up treatment for severe infestations.
