Professional Cockroach Control for Central Virginia Homes
Eliminating disease-spreading cockroaches with advanced baiting systems and exclusion methods
Cockroaches Spread Serious Diseases and Allergens
Cockroaches are among the most dangerous household pests, carrying over 30 types of bacteria, six parasitic worms, and numerous human pathogens. They contaminate food surfaces, cooking utensils, and eating areas with disease-causing organisms from sewers and garbage. Their shed skins and droppings trigger asthma and allergic reactions, especially in children. PestNow Central Virginia provides comprehensive cockroach control using advanced baiting systems and integrated pest management that eliminates infestations and prevents contamination of your living spaces.
Why Professional Cockroach Control Matters:
Disease prevention - stopping transmission of salmonella, E. coli, and dysentery
Food safety protection - preventing contamination of kitchens and pantries
Allergen elimination - reducing asthma triggers and allergic reactions
Complete population control - targeting hidden harborages and breeding sites
Long-term prevention - sealing entry points and eliminating attractants
Cockroach Problems in Central Virginia
German Cockroaches
Kitchen and bathroom invaders
Small, light brown cockroaches that prefer warm, humid areas near food and water sources. They reproduce rapidly with females carrying egg cases that can produce 30-40 offspring. German cockroaches are the most common indoor species and most difficult to eliminate.
American Cockroaches (Palmetto Bugs)
Large, flying cockroaches
Virginia's largest cockroach species, growing up to 2 inches long with the ability to fly. They prefer basements, crawl spaces, and areas with high moisture. Despite their outdoor nature, they readily invade homes seeking food and shelter.
Oriental Cockroaches
Moisture-loving basement dwellers
Dark, shiny cockroaches that thrive in cool, damp areas like basements and crawl spaces. They enter homes through drains, cracks in foundations, and gaps around pipes. Their presence often indicates moisture problems that need addressing.
Professional Cockroach Control Solutions
Advanced Baiting Systems
Professional gel baits and bait stations strategically placed in cockroach harborage areas. These baits attract cockroaches away from your living spaces and eliminate entire populations including eggs and nymphs through secondary poisoning.
Crack and Crevice Treatments
Targeted applications of residual insecticides into cracks, crevices, and void spaces where cockroaches hide during daylight hours. These treatments provide long-lasting control in areas where cockroaches travel and breed.
Exclusion and Sanitation
Comprehensive sealing of entry points including gaps around pipes, cracks in walls, and openings around appliances. Combined with sanitation recommendations that eliminate food and water sources cockroaches need to survive.
Moisture Control Integration
Addressing moisture problems that attract cockroaches including leaky pipes, poor ventilation, and humidity issues. Moisture control makes your home less attractive to cockroaches and more effective for treatments.
Our Cockroach Control Methods
Professional Gel Baits
Targeted elimination of entire colonies
Advanced gel formulations that attract cockroaches and eliminate them through ingestion and contact. Cockroaches carry bait back to harborage areas, eliminating other colony members and breaking the reproductive cycle.
Insect Growth Regulators
Preventing reproduction and development
Specialized products that disrupt cockroach development, preventing nymphs from reaching reproductive maturity. These treatments provide long-term population control by breaking the cockroach life cycle.
Dust Applications
Long-lasting protection in void spaces
Professional dusts applied into wall voids, electrical outlets, and other hiding spaces where cockroaches travel. These treatments remain effective for months and eliminate cockroaches in areas liquid sprays cannot reach.
