Cockroach Control questions
Answers to common questions we hear from homeowners, tenants and businesses.
Why do I see cockroaches mostly at night?
Many cockroach species are most active during dark, quiet periods and hide during the day in protected harbourage.
Does seeing one cockroach mean there are more?
One sighting does not confirm the size of an infestation, but cockroaches can remain hidden. Repeated sightings, droppings, egg cases or activity in several areas justify closer inspection.
Can a clean property still get cockroaches?
Yes. Cockroaches can be introduced in deliveries, grocery packages, used appliances, boxes, luggage or from neighbouring units. Good sanitation helps but does not prevent every introduction.
Why can store-bought sprays make cockroach control harder?
Uncoordinated spraying may contact visible insects without reaching harbourage and can interfere with professional bait placements. Products should only be used according to their labels and as part of a coordinated plan.
Should neighbouring apartment units be inspected?
They may need to be. Shared walls, plumbing, utility openings, hallways and garbage areas can allow cockroaches to move between connected spaces.
How long does cockroach control usually take?
Timing depends on the species, infestation level, building layout, sanitation, access and follow-up. Established or multi-unit problems can require several visits and continued monitoring.
