Commonly Asked Questions

What are the signs of a cockroach infestation?

Signs of a cockroach infestation include seeing live cockroaches, finding their droppings, discovering egg cases or shed skin, noticing a musty or oily odor, and finding small, dark spots on surfaces.

Why do cockroaches infest homes?

Cockroaches infest homes because they are attracted to food, water, and shelter. They can enter homes through small cracks and crevices, and once inside, they can quickly reproduce and establish a colony.

How can I prevent cockroach infestations?

To prevent cockroach infestations, keep your home clean and free of food debris, seal cracks and openings around your home, fix any leaks or moisture issues, store food in airtight containers, and regularly dispose of garbage.

Can I get rid of cockroaches on my own?

While DIY methods can help control small cockroach infestations, it is often best to seek professional help for larger or persistent infestations. Professional pest control technicians have the knowledge, experience, and effective products to eliminate cockroaches effectively.

How long does it take to get rid of a cockroach infestation?

The time it takes to get rid of a cockroach infestation depends on the severity of the infestation and the treatment methods used. In most cases, it may take several weeks to completely eliminate all cockroaches and prevent re-infestation.

The Common Cockroaches That Invade Homes in Roselle & Beyond

Of the nearly 5,000 species of cockroach that have been discovered, more than 99.5 percent do just fine out in the wild away from human contact. However, a small half-percent has become a recurring pest in human dwellings and an even smaller number actually prefers to live near humans and in our homes. The term “smaller” is an understatement because even if a handful of cockroach species like living near us humans, they do so in exponentially large numbers.

The following roaches are classified as domesticated cockroaches and will likely be the cockroach infestation that you have in your home:

  • German Cockroach: This is the most common home-invading roach of them all. A small to mid-sized cockroach, the German Cockroach stands out with its brown body with a darker streak down its backside. Cockroaches are fully domesticated and they cannot survive without living with humans. They are known to infest and gather in kitchens and bathrooms close to a water source and live off of any crumbs, grease, and left-out food that we don’t clean up. They can be tough to get rid of because of how quickly and often they breed and reproduce. A small handful of German cockroaches can become a full-blown colony of hundreds in short order.
  • Brown-banded cockroach: Similar in appearance to German Cockroaches, the Brown-banded cockroach actually prefers drier areas of the home as opposed to more humid areas. Also while German Cockroaches like to stay low and nest low to the ground, Brown-banded cockroaches can be seen higher up in corners of ceilings and other high-up areas of the home.
  • American cockroach: The largest of the domesticated cockroach, this species is the one that is the most startling to encounter because of their large size (1 to 2 and a half inches long) and quick movements and also the fact that they have wings and can fly in short bursts. American cockroaches actually prefer to live outside but often find their way indoors during their travels and foraging for food and water, coming up thru drains or another point of entry. They commonly infest restaurants, dumpster areas, and humid boiler rooms.

At Universal Pest Control, our certified and licensed technicians are highly knowledgeable about the various types of cockroaches that can invade your home or business premises, their behaviors and tendencies, as well as how to treat them. We understand that each species of cockroach has a unique set of characteristics that require specialized treatment methods. Therefore, we use modern techniques to identify the pest infestation and apply the most effective solution for a long-term result.
