Cockroaches don't go away until the source is gone.
German, American, and Oriental cockroaches require species-specific protocols. We identify, bait, and follow up — 95% resolved in 2 to 3 visits. From $345.
Precisely what we do, step by step.
Cockroaches are one of the few pests where DIY approaches almost always make the problem worse. Repellent sprays scatter colonies into wall voids and crevices, splitting one infestation into many. Successful eradication requires species-specific gel baits, insect growth regulators (IGRs) that prevent reproduction, and a follow-up visit timed to catch newly hatched nymphs before they mature.
We treat all three species common to BC: German (small, light brown, kitchen-loving — the most common indoor species), American (large, reddish-brown, prefers warm humid spaces like basements and boiler rooms), and Oriental (very dark, slow-moving, drain and crawlspace dweller). Identification matters because each species responds to different bait formulations.
Our protocol: gel-bait application at harborage points, IGR placement to interrupt the life cycle, exterior perimeter to prevent re-entry, and a mandatory 14-21 day follow-up visit. From $345 for residential. 60-day guarantee — if we see activity in that window, we re-treat at no cost.
Repeatable. Documented. Guaranteed.
Identify species
We confirm German vs American vs Oriental — different bait families work on different species.
Bait + IGR
Targeted gel-bait at harborage points and entry routes. IGR placement prevents nymphs reaching breeding age.
Perimeter seal
Exterior treatment at utility penetrations, drains, and entry points to block re-infestation from neighbours.
Follow-up
Mandatory 14-21 day return visit to catch newly hatched nymphs before they reproduce. Included in price.
Signs it’s time to call.
- Live roaches seen at night when you turn on the kitchen or bathroom light.
- Small dark specks (frass) along baseboards, behind appliances, or inside cabinets.
- An oily, musty odor — strongest near nesting sites in cabinet corners and under sinks.
- Egg cases (oothecae) — small dark capsules glued to surfaces in hidden spots.
- Smear marks along travel paths in humid areas.
