Professional Cockroach Treatment & Control

Eliminating Cockroaches From Your Home

Cockroaches aren’t just a nuisance; they can seriously affect your home and health. These pests feed on bacteria-laden materials such as garbage, sewage and decaying organic matter, picking up dangerous bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli along the way.

And since they multiply fast, even a small problem can turn into a full-blown infestation before you know it. The good news? Orkin Canada manages infestations for all types of cockroaches and keeps them from coming back.

How Orkin Canada Helps Get Rid Of Cockroaches In Your Home

Inspection

Every Orkin Canada cockroach control program starts with an initial inspection. Your Orkin Canada cockroach control specialist will inspect areas around your home to get a better understanding of the following factors:

• The species of cockroach that is infesting your home
• The level of infestation on your property
• What are some of the attractants that could be bringing and sustaining cockroaches on your property
  • Easy access to food and moisture sources
  • Ideal harbourage areas (living spaces)
  • Sanitation issues or increased clutter
  • Structural problems

Once your Orkin Canada cockroach control specialist has completed the inspection, they will communicate their findings and provide educational information to better understand why cockroaches are on your property and what steps you can take to prevent a future infestation from occurring.

Physical Removal of Cockroaches

In situations where the cockroach population is high (moderate to heavy infestations), your licensed Orkin Canada cockroach control specialist may use specialized equipment to physically remove cockroaches from high activity areas. This will ensure that the cockroach populations are reduced to manageable levels.

Professional Cockroach Treatment & Control Strategies

Baiting

This is considered an efficient option when dealing with cockroaches. Because these pests are always looking for food sources, the treated bait allows for a safe and targeted approach that can significantly reduce the cockroach population on your property.

Dust Application

Dust treatments are commonly used in spaces with more frequent cockroach infestations. This is because the dust used has residual properties that provide long term protection around your home.

Liquid Treatments

This treatment method is used to quickly reduce the cockroach population in heavily infested spaces. In some situations, this treatment option may also be used to drive roaches out from hard to reach hiding spots.

Monitoring

Once your Orkin Pro has implemented a treatment solution, they will use insect monitors to get a better understanding of the effectiveness of the control program. Your Orkin Pro will also follow up regularly to check the status of the insect program.

Why Cockroach Control Matters

Cockroaches thrive in indoor conditions and reproduce quickly. The longer they’re around, the harder they are to eliminate. Don’t wait. Talk to an Orkin Pro today.

Health Risks

• Disease: Cockroaches can spread pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and other harmful bacteria, causing food poisoning, which can be fatal
• Allergies & Asthma: Their droppings and shed skin can trigger reactions and worsen asthma, especially in children.
• Food Contamination: Cockroaches carry pathogens on their bodies; they can contaminate food directly by crawling onto it or indirectly by contaminating food-preparing and storage surfaces. Consuming food contaminated with cockroach body fragments can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and sickness.
• Social stigma: People still associate cockroach infestations with unsanitary conditions, which can have a psychological and emotional impact on individuals, making infestations stressful.

Home Impact

• Infestation Growth: With ideal conditions, a few roaches can quickly multiply into hundreds.
• Hard-to-Reach Hiding Spots: Roaches can squeeze into cracks, crevices, vents, voids in walls, floors, appliances and furniture, making them tough to remove without professional tools and expertise.
• Heavy infestations: Cockroach droppings can stain surfaces, including walls, furniture, appliances, and fabrics. The droppings and secretions can cause an unpleasant odour.
