Field notes

How to spot them

Large roaches at night, egg cases in dark corners and droppings in basements or garages. Check after dark with a torch, when most activity happens.

Why they matter

Left alone, a small american cockroach problem grows quickly. They can damage your home, contaminate food or cause bites, and DIY sprays usually only reach the few you can see.

How we get rid of them

We find where they nest and how they get in, treat the source with low toxicity products and seal the entry points. A free follow up visit makes sure they are gone for good.
