How to Get Rid of Cockroaches
There are a variety of measures you can take to help get rid of roaches in your home. These measures will help get rid of existing roaches as well as keep other roaches from returning in the future.
Remove Access to Food
Keeping your home clean is the easiest way to prevent roaches from returning. Roaches can survive for up to two weeks without water and three months without food. For this reason, you will need to keep your house extremely clean at all times.
This means you will need to:
- Clean spills and crumbs immediately
- Wash and dry dishes immediately after use and put them away
- Empty out and clean your cabinets
- Clean underneath your sink
- Clean under all large kitchen appliances, especially the refrigerator as this is a common hiding spot for roaches
- Thoroughly clean out your garbage cans
- Take out the trash more frequently
- Vacuum and mop your floors often
- Keep pet food dishes covered or sealed
- Keep all food in air-tight, sealed containers including cereal, sugar, flour, and other dry ingredients
Eliminate Hiding Spaces and Points of Entry
Cockroaches can enter your home through:
- Cracks in the foundation or around windows and doors
- Air conditioning units
- And small holes in the house
Sometimes, they get in the house in packages or luggage. Effective cockroach control requires a combination of pest control service and exclusion methods.
It is necessary to:
- Throw away all cardboard boxes and unnecessary papers
- Seal all possible entry points into your home, such as cracks, crevices, gaps between tiles, and any other openings
- Ensure all door and window frames do not have gaps to the outside
Eliminate Standing Water
- Ensure that you do not have leaky pipes or plumbing
- Empty the dish tray beneath your refrigerator
- And dry out your sink

Identifying Common Roaches
There are a few different types of roaches in our area of the country. Accurately identifying the type of cockroach and determining how they are getting inside is important for effective roach control. We are experienced with all the most common types of roaches.
We offer effective pest control for common roaches, such as:
- American cockroaches: These roaches are reddish brown in color and often have a “figure-eight” pattern behind the head. These roaches are large and may grow up to three inches long. Both males and females have wings.
- German cockroaches: German roaches are the most common type of cockroaches found inside homes. This is a smaller species with a tan or light brown color and oval shape. They have black stripes running down from the head and also have wings, but don’t fly very well.
- Brown banded cockroaches: This type of roach is recognizable for their light brown color with darker brown bands. This roach is smaller than most others and only gets about a half inch long.
- Oriental cockroaches: Also known as water bugs, these roaches are a shiny black color and grow up to an inch long. These roaches don’t fly and often prefer to live in cool and damp places.
Cockroaches can cause a variety of problems when they infest a home or commercial property. They can trigger allergic reactions in susceptible people. Additionally, roaches can spread viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that they come in contact with in garbage or drains.
