Struggling with roaches? Cockroaches are some of the most stubborn and despicable pests out there. They’re incredibly resistant to pesticides, and their reproductive cycle keeps them coming back. German cockroaches are the most common species in Canada, known for infesting kitchens and bathrooms. They hide in dark, humid crevices that are hard to reach. Here, they lay eggs and cause a terrible smell. At night, they come out to feed. If you’re struggling to get rid of these bugs, give us a call.

German cockroaches are shiny, brown cockroaches with two black stripes on their backs. They have wings but do not fly. German cockroaches crawl from one property to the next via the walls and plumbing, which is why they are most common in multi-residential buildings and high-rises. German cockroaches are drawn to the scent of people’s cooking. They usually hide in kitchen cabinets and bathrooms, where they can easily find food and water. From fresh fruits to cardboard glue, German cockroaches feed on practically anything. What’s worse is they can go for weeks without food.

The first step in getting rid of German cockroaches is to get rid of every food source. Doing so will encourage the pests to feed on the bait you set later. So, deep clean your home. Clean every surface so there aren’t any crumbs or bits of grease that will keep them fed. Keep foods in sealed containers and do the dishes every day. You should also take out the garbage and use a lidded bin so the bugs can’t get inside. Good housekeeping is paramount when getting rid of cockroaches and keeping them under control.

The next step is to hire an exterminator. Though this costs a little money, German cockroaches are unfortunately too hardy to get rid of without professional help. A technician will inspect your property, then treat the issue with a powerful insecticide. Technicians use an ultra-light volume mist, which reaches deep in those hiding spots you can’t reach. Cockroaches are eliminated on the spot. Thanks to its residual quality, any eggs that may have survived the spray will perish later when they walk on the insecticide. A technician may also bait your home for an even longer lasting treatment.
