German Roaches

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 location and they start multiplying.

And unlike outdoor roaches like American, or “tree”, roaches — German roaches really multiply. They can produce 3-6 generations in just one year! This is how a house can get overrun or an apartment complex — with roaches in just one unit — can quickly have a big problem on its hands as they spread from apartment to apartment.

So the first thing to prevent a German roach issue is hygiene and cleanliness. Remove food sources and water sources like dripping faucets, pet dishes with food and water left out and crumbs and food particles.

But German roaches absolutely require treatment. They excel at hiding in the smallest cracks and crevices around bathrooms and kitchens, in particular.

We specialize in long-lasting treatments using products in a way that effectively kills bugs but has no impact on people. No contracts are needed. We treat more than once a year about as often as we skip years between treatments.

Aztec’s philosophy is to provide the most effective pest control service available, having the least negative impact on people and the environment here in Austin, Texas. We use a combination of the least toxic and most effective pest control products available.

We originally offered pest control using only natural, “organic” pest control products. While we still offer that service, we now combine those products with a low-toxicity, odorless, synthetic pyrethrin (crushed chrysanthemum flower), offering a longer-lasting residual effect.
