Cockroach Pest Control

Cockroaches. The Name Alone Makes Your Skin Itch.

Unfortunately, Arizona is not exempt from the wrath of the cockroach. Roaches come in all shapes and sizes. Some species, such as German cockroaches, are harder to get rid of than others.

Take the following preventative measures and call in the experts at Insectek. Then, you’re well on your way to, as they say, “putting cockroaches back in their place,” which is not in your home.

Though we’re accustomed to seeing roaches in their large, dark appearance, be on alert for baby roaches. Baby roaches, called nymphs, are typically smaller and are white or gray depending on their species. Spotting a baby cockroach typically alludes to a current infestation.

Are Cockroaches Harmful?

Cockroaches can, indeed, be harmful to you and your family. For instance, they’re known to carry diseases and can cause allergic reactions. These factors, when coupled with their quick rate of reproduction, can make roaches an extremely problematic infestation.

What is Attracting Cockroaches to My Home?

Whether it’s your food, cat or dog food, birdseed, or even papers and cardboard, cockroaches are attracted to anything they can grub on. Having crumbs on the floor and counter, or having an exposed pet food bowl is like inviting a family of cockroaches into your home.

Roaches will seek food from the dirty dishes in your sink. They’re not picky at all. They’ll even be happy to explore your garbage for a good meal.

Ways to Prevent a Cockroach Infestation

Dispose of cardboard boxes and newspapers.
Inspect grocery bags and food. Roaches and their eggs are great hitchhikers.
Don’t leave out food (even pet food).
Fix any plumbing problems to eliminate excess moisture.
Seal any cracks around your house to keep cockroacheses from finding their way inside. You can refer to our scorpion home seal guide for ways to seal off your home from all manner of pests, including roaches.
Generally de-clutter and clean your home to give roaches fewer places to hide, nest, and feed.

“After 6 unhappy months with our previous pest control company we knew it was time to find a more reliable Company that would actually do their job. The hardest part about switching is searching for a trustworthy company. We decided to give Insectek a try for all the positive reviews. Our technician came out the very next morning. He's very professional and informative, answered every single question we had, educated us which gave us a peace of mind and kept us more at ease. From now on we will be using Insectek!”

“We have had pest control for 4 years at our home in Cave Creek. This is the first exterminator that has actually exterminated scorpions at our home with organic solutions. They treated the perimeter of our entire yard and the only scorpions that I have seen since have been dead or running in the opposite direction. Great job. Professional service. Would highly recommend.”
James H.Cave Creek, AZ

“Having lived in the valley for 30 years, we have had several different pest companies. This company has by far been the best. Came out on a Saturday, with a last minute request for an appt. The technician spent an hour at our home, very meticulous, professional, and we couldn't have been more impressed with his plan of remediation. Price is fair, service is GREAT.”
