Common Problems American Cockroaches Cause In Homes

It is amazing what we can put up with, especially if we're tough. And, in Texas, we're tough. We have to be. We have the diamondback rattlesnake, coral snake, copperhead, water moccasin, readheaded centipede, scorpion, black widow spider, brown recluse spider, and more. You don't even want to get us started talking about the puss caterpillar. That bug is just wrong. When mosquitoes bite us, we swat them and move on. When fire ants sting our feet, we shake them off and go back to what we were doing. And, when American cockroaches appear in our kitchens, we throw down a few traps and call it a day. But we really shouldn't. Here are some reasons we think may change your mind about ignoring American cockroaches.

That cockroach that just raced up your pantry wall at top speed wasn't in there sightseeing. It was looking for food. And you may not know this but it can chew through paper packaging, cardboard, and even thin plastic bags.

An American cockroach is just as happy in your trash cans as it is in your pantry. In fact, they will go back and forth from dirty locations to food storage areas inside your home. The cockroach you see on your counter might be the same cockroach you saw on the rim of your toilet the other day.

Our FAQ

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 940-239-9786 today!

  • What are the steps to take prior to receiving flea treatment?
    Please review our flea treatment information sheet found here.
  • Do you offer any organic/green/low toxic treatments?

    We do offer “green” treatments because we understand that though the synthetic pesticides that we typically use are quite safe, some people for various valid reasons prefer a green approach to pest control. In addition to employing completely non-chemical measures such as structural and mechanical alterations (weep-hole exclusions, recommendations on door sweep replacement etc.) and glue traps or other monitoring devices, we have a number of natural and botanical insecticides that we can use to treat your home or business.

    We commonly use natural products such as boric acid, diatomaceous earth, and a number of different botanical products (pyrethrum, rosemary oil, cedar oil, etc.). These products can be very effective when used properly. One downside is that they usually don't last as long as synthetic pesticides, so we generally recommend a more frequent treatment cycle, such as monthly, when using these products. Just tell the person you speak with on the phone or the technician who services your property about your preference and we will be happy to accommodate you.

  • I have a baby/toddler… is it safe to have treatment?
    While the products we use are toxic to insects, they pose almost no serious risk to people when used properly. However, it is always advisable to be careful when using chemicals around small children, including pesticides. If you have a small child, we recommend staying away from the treatment area while the service is being performed and then wait until the product has dried.
  • What are your hours?
    Our offices in both Lewisville, TX and Denton, TX are open Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm.
