The Cockroach Problem
Cockroaches are more than just disgusting—they're a health hazard. They contaminate food, spread bacteria, and their droppings trigger asthma and allergies, especially in children.
St. Louis is home to several cockroach species. German cockroaches thrive indoors year-round, while American and Oriental cockroaches often enter from outside, especially in older homes.
Cockroaches reproduce rapidly. A single German cockroach can produce 30,000 offspring in a year. By the time you see one, there are likely many more hiding in walls and cabinets.
Common St. Louis Roaches
German Cockroaches
Small (1/2 inch), tan with dark stripes. Most common indoor roach. Found in kitchens and bathrooms.
American Cockroaches
Large (1.5 inches), reddish-brown. Often called "water bugs." Enter from outside, especially in summer.
Oriental Cockroaches
Dark brown to black, 1 inch. Prefer cool, damp areas like basements. Strong musty odor.
Signs of Cockroach Infestation
Live Roaches
Seeing roaches, especially during the day, indicates a large infestation
Droppings
Small dark specks resembling coffee grounds or pepper
Egg Cases
Brown, purse-shaped capsules about 1/4 inch long
Musty Odor
Large infestations produce a distinctive oily smell
My Treatment Approach
Thorough Inspection
I identify the species, locate harborage areas, and assess the infestation level to create a targeted treatment plan.
Multi-Method Treatment
Using baits, dusts, and targeted applications, I treat hiding spots in kitchens, bathrooms, and other infested areas.
Follow-Up & Prevention
Cockroach eggs survive many treatments. Follow-up visits ensure complete elimination, plus I'll seal entry points.
