My apartment had a severe case of carpet moths and Tom’s Pest Control got rid of them in just one visit. I am so satisfied with their service and it is also very cost effective! They will be visiting again in 2 weeks to make sure all the moths and their eggs are gone, which is amazing! We were advised on how to ensure the pests don’t return. Will definitely be coming here to get my end of lease pest management done!

Identify Cockroach

Identifying the Presence of Cockroaches in Your Property

If cockroaches are present on your property, they are likely to leave behind signs that tell you that your home needs roach pest control. Seeing live cockroaches is one of the most common signs declaring that there is an infestation in your house or office. If you don’t see live cockroaches, you are likely to see their droppings, too. So, look for small, dark, cylindrical substances like pepper or coffee grounds in your drawers or countertops.

As cockroaches grow, they shed their exoskeletons, skins, and other body parts, which you may find in various corners of your property.

Another sign of their presence is a foul, musty odour in your home. Cockroaches like to live in dark and damp areas, and if they are present in large numbers, you will experience this unpleasant smell.

Tips for Cockroach Prevention

While there are many cockroach pest control methods, it is always better to take prevention measures to avoid giving these pests access to your home or office. Once they get into your property, they can spread various diseases and allergens, risking your family’s health.

The basic rule for keeping your home cockroach-free is to maintain cleanliness. These pests get into your property only in search of food and water for survival. If they do not find these, they are likely not to be attracted.

These tips can help you keep your premises clean and roach-free:

  • Vacuum regularly to remove dirt
  • Clean food that has fallen on the floor immediately
  • Store food in airtight containers
  • Fix leaks in your plumbing fixtures
  • Do not keep stagnant water
  • Keep pet food trays clean

Exterminator

Treatment by Our Roach Exterminators

The treatment we will carry out for your property depends on the severity of the issue. To understand this, we first inspect your premises. This helps us gather information about the level of infestation, the types of cockroaches, and the places that need the most attention. Based on this, we create a treatment plan that is likely to work wonders. For example, German cockroach pest control treatments will be different than treatments for other types.

We may carry out one or a combination of treatments to control the cockroach population. We rely on cockroach baits, fumigation, and heat treatment for complete eradication of these pests.

Integrated Cockroach Management Solutions

As cockroach pest control experts, we use the IPM strategy to give you a cockroach-free home and office. This helps us prevent pest problems before they start and tackle the root causes of infestations. We also focus on creating customised pest control solutions that cater to you so you can expect the best results.

Common Cockroach Species

German Cockroach

German Cockroach

German cockroaches are pests that can live in many different climates. They tend to hang out in large groups and reproduce very quickly if conditions are right. Also, they are known to crawl through decaying matter and pick up germs on their legs that they can leave on various surfaces and foods.

Australian Cockroach

Australian Cockroach

Their love for decaying organic vegetable matter attracts them to the garbage bins in your kitchen. These pests also like to feed on book bindings so that you may spot them on your bookshelves, too. In most cases, the Australian cockroaches are found outdoors. However, when the temperature decreases, they get into your homes for a warmer environment.

American Cockroach

American Cockroach

These cockroaches are good gliders and travel far away from their breeding areas in search of food. American cockroaches, too, favour warm and humid environments and are often found outdoors in summer and indoors in winter. These pests like to feed on bakery products, dead insects, and cheese.

Oriental Cockroach

Oriental Cockroach

Oriental cockroaches are attracted to decaying organic matter and garbage. They are highly dependent on water and cannot survive without it for more than two weeks. These pests secrete a stinky substance that can change the taste of food they feed upon. If they are present in high numbers in your home, some places can begin to smell their secretion.

Smoky Brown Cockroach

Smoky Brown Cockroach

These pests get into your property through open doors and windows as they can fly. The smoky brown cockroach mainly invades basements and the ground floor and likes to be around trash and sewers. They can spread bacteria and trigger asthma or allergic reactions.

Brown Branded Cockroach

Brown Banded Cockroach

These pests are commonly found in kitchen cabinets and bathrooms. They also like to hide behind photo frames and in closets. Brown-banded cockroaches can spread foodborne diseases and drug-resistant bacteria.

Yes, German cockroaches can be tricky to get rid of. They reproduce quickly and hide in small, hard-to-reach places. Effective removal often requires a combination of treatments, and it may require professional help to eliminate them entirely.

The most effective treatment usually involves a combination of baits, insecticides, and traps. For severe cases, professionals might use advanced techniques like gel baits or dusts that target roach nests.

The cost of cockroach pest control varies as per the severity of the infestation, the size of your home, and the treatment method. Prices can vary, so it’s a good idea to get quotes from us.

Cockroaches often return if their nests aren’t fully removed or if new food and water sources are available. They also come back if there are gaps or cracks in your home that haven’t been sealed properly. Regular cleaning and maintenance are key to keeping them away.
