Cockroach Extermination & Control Services
Cockroaches are insects that thrive in residential and commercial buildings, especially in certain environments. With the year-round warm weather in Phoenix, you are more likely to have a cockroach infestation, but at Bye Bye Bugs Pest Control and Weeds, our exterminators offer high-quality routine or emergency treatments to get rid of any cockroaches that are infesting your home or business.
We know that there are three common varieties of cockroaches in our area, including:
- Oriental – dark brown to black bodies
- American – large bodies that are light to dark brown
- German – smaller insects with brown bodies
While these are the most frequent types of cockroaches found in Arizona, it is possible to have other types of infestations from invasive species.
Cockroaches Seek Moisture and Food
Cockroaches may enter a building to find moisture and food, so you should make sure that the plumbing fixtures and pipes aren’t leaking. Make sure to store foods in glass or metal containers. In addition, we recommend sealing the holes and cracks around windows or doors to keep cockroaches from entering. Don’t keep piles of trash outside a building, and you should also inspect the items that you carry inside to avoid bringing cockroaches into a business or home. If you do see a cockroach, then fast treatment is required because these insects tend to hide until hundreds are living in a small space.
We Respond Quickly
At Bye Bye Bugs Pest Control and Weeds, we respond to telephone calls for extermination services right away, and we can provide service the same day. First, our exterminators complete an inspection of the exterior of a building to see if there are locations where the cockroaches can enter. We look for signs of the cockroaches to determine what species is living in the building so that we can look for nests. While you may want to eliminate the cockroaches with volatile chemicals, this will not get rid of the insects that are lurking in hidden locations, so we suggest using pesticides that some of the cockroaches will carry back to the nests.
Call Us Today If You’ve Noticed Signs of Cockroaches
With this method, any insects that survive the chemical sprays will poison the nests, preventing an infestation of new cockroaches. Some of the signs of having cockroaches include:
- Finding black or brown droppings on the floors or inside cabinets
- An odd odor that is created by the insects’ skin oils
- Your family pets may behave strangely
- Finding eggs on surfaces
- Seeing an insect at night
- Noticing contamination of your stored foodstuffs
- Molted skin particles or exoskeletons
Cockroaches may crawl on kitchen countertops or in cupboards and drawers, so you should check these locations for the insects. In addition to exterminating cockroaches, we can provide insect control services to prevent infestations in businesses or homes.
