In San Diego there are three main types of roaches that we deal with, they are the German Roach, the American Roach and the Oriental Roach. Of the three the German Roach is by far the worst. This Roach can reproduce very rapidly, and if unchecked you can have an explosion of cockroaches almost over night. The German Cockroach will eat almost anything including soap and toothpaste. This roach is identifiable by the two black stripes going down his back and the rest of his body is tan in color. This roach is known to cause allergies and spread disease. So how can we help you? The answer is by using a combination of gel bait, glue boards and insect growth regulators. The German roach will go to our bait over almost any other food type but we still need to eliminate competing food sources. This process can take up to four months to get a 100% eradication of the German Roach and longer if the problem is really out of hand before we get there.

A full explanation of how to prepare your house is available under our preparation instruction tab on the home page. For the other two roaches baiting is sometimes an option but more often than not we spray for these roaches. Finding the source is key, then treating that area along with spraying a residual pesticide around the structure. These two roaches are much more manageable than the German Roach.
