german roaches
German roaches are considered the “worst type” of roach to have. This is because they multiply quickly and are very good at hiding among cracks and crevices. That combination means you could “suddenly” have dozens of them before you even realize it. Good, low-toxicity pest control is possible, but is there a way to keep them out of your house in the first place? Yes, with some exceptions. German roaches don’t enter a home unless…
Treating for German roaches can be necessary no matter the time of year. That’s because unlike American roaches or other types of outdoor roach, they only live inside. So while some people, rightfully, assume they’ll see fewer roaches in the winter months, that’s mainly only true of those outdoor roaches which tend to go dormant after their increased activity during spring and summer months. German roaches though are brought indoors. This can be on old…
German roaches are an unusual type of roach. In central Texas they don’t live outside! Instead they are an indoor roach that moves from place to place by people and their activities. Common ways they get into a building is when people move. A home or apartment that already has German roaches spreads to one that does not. The roaches or their egg capsules tag along in boxes, appliances, or other things into their new…
The “roaches in the walls” worst-case scenario is when you get German roaches that can quickly multiply. Not all roaches infest a home. The large outdoor roaches, called American roaches or tree roaches, don’t “take over” areas like German roaches can if they are left untreated. German roaches are brought in by people and only move from place to place that way. So they can live in old appliances, crates, etc. and when those show…
German roach activity around Austin has seen an uptick lately. Here is some more information about these pests: Unlike American roaches (aka tree roaches, waterbugs, palmetto bugs, “big roaches) the German roach doesn’t live outside and wander in. It’s an indoor roach and is most often found in multi-resident communities like apartments, duplexes, quads, etc. They can get into voids and wall spaces and move throughout. They also come in by being brought in with…

There have been recent studies that suggest cockroaches have been and are becoming resistant to various types of pesticides. While this is a major issue it doesn’t really affect our method of getting them under control: boric acid. Boric acid is a naturally occurring compound that is odorless and less toxic than table salt. Boric acid can act as both a stomach poison when ingested by insects and also as a desiccant, dehydrating them. When…
The main difference between our one-time service and that of others is that we offer a free return within 3 months on almost any pest control service that we do unless the service is limited by the consumer (such as only treating outside for roaches instead of in and out, or only treating inside). Most warranties for one-time service are for one month…that is not really long enough to make sure the pest is really…
German Roaches are light brown to tan and the adults grow up to about ½” to 5/8” in length. Although the adults have fully developed wings they do not fly. It is a widespread household pest. They feed on any food sources available including grease, soap and the binding of books. They can survive without food for up to 30 days, but will die from dehydration if they do not have moisture for more than…
