Why Supermarket Sprays Do Not Work

Sprays kill the few roaches they touch, but they do not reach the nest, they do not kill the eggs, and they often scatter the colony deeper into your home. Roaches also build up resistance to common supermarket chemicals. Read more in how to permanently get rid of roaches.

Our Cockroach Treatment Process

Inspection. We identify the species, usually German or American cockroaches, and find where they are nesting and getting in.
Targeted treatment. We use professional gel baits that roaches carry back to the nest, and insect growth regulators that stop young roaches from breeding.
Prevention. We show you where grease, food and water are attracting them and how to seal the gaps they use.
Follow-up. Every treatment comes with a follow-up guarantee.

Pest Control and Cleaning Under One Roof

Roaches follow grease and food residue, and their pheromone trails lead new roaches back to the same spots. Because we also offer professional deep cleaning, we can deal with the conditions that attract them as well as the roaches themselves. Learn how cockroaches get into your home and the health risks of an infestation.

Cockroach Extermination Questions We Get Asked

How long does it take to get rid of cockroaches?

You will usually see far fewer roaches within a few days, but it takes a few weeks to break the breeding cycle completely. That is why the follow-up matters.

Do I need to leave my home during treatment?

We will tell you exactly how to prepare and whether you need to step out, based on the treatment we use for your property.

Why do I keep getting roaches in my flat?

In complexes, roaches move between units through pipes, drains and wall cavities. Treating the source and sealing entry points makes the biggest difference.
