San Diego Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are nocturnal insects that enjoy dark, warm, and moist hiding places. You can usually find cockroaches in corners, crevices, and cracks throughout the home. Cockroaches are food and water motivated – they can live up to 2 weeks without food but need water every few days to survive. Cockroaches like to feed on crumbs but in nature survive on decaying wood.

Whether you are dealing with a one-time invasion or an ongoing cockroach control situation, Pest Patrol is here to help. We can develop a persistent strategy to not only treat the immediate problem but prevent future infestations as well. Contact us to get a free quote on cockroach control services.

Our Non-Invasive Approach to Cockroach Control:

At Pest Patrol, our cockroach control process begins with disrupting the cockroach lifecycle, killing existing pests and addressing the colony all together. Read below for our step-by-step approach.

Inspection

Our pest control experts survey the property and identify warm, dark locations that typically house roaches. This includes behind large appliances, under sinks, at seam floor walls, and under furniture. Upon confirmation, we clear our any eggs and existing roaches and lay down traps in high traffic areas.

Residential and Commercial Property Cleaning

Cockroaches need food and water to survive. A comprehensive cleaning to eliminate any crumbs, spills or trash is essential to stop the infestation. Vacuum out any cracks and crevices will remove any remaining food sources, eggs and droppings (which contain pheromones) that attract other roaches.

Eliminate the Cockroach Habitat

Removing hiding places, entry points and spawning grounds will disrupt the lifecycle and prevent re-infestation. Sealing cracks, fixing leaks, and increasing ventilation and lighting for dark, damp areas will help eliminate cockroaches. Cleaning up exterior shrubs, stacks of wood and trash all help prevent cockroaches from thriving on your property.

Roach Control Pesticides

If your cockroach infestation cannot be solved with the non-invasive approach, pesticide baits, gels, and traps can quickly eliminate cockroaches. Avoid aerosol sprays as inhalation during application is likely. Use of sprays on the exterior can damage sensitive non-target wildlife like bees, spiders and other beneficial insects.
