Roach Treatment

How They Look

The American cockroach is the largest cockroach that infests homes and buildings in the United States. Georgia, with its mild and humid climate, is an ideal environment for the cockroach. They can be recognized by a yellow "figure-8" pattern on the shield at the front of its body. In Florida, the American cockroach is called the "palmetto bug," and it has the nickname "water bug" throughout the United States.

What They Do

Like all cockroaches, it is omnivorous and will eat virtually anything people will and many things we won't.

Where They Live

This cockroach thrives in warm, damp environments, such as sewers, steam tunnels, basements, crawl spaces, and boiler rooms. In southern states, it will also be found living and breeding outdoors. Because the cockroach will eat almost anything, they love to get into garages and home interiors.

 Our Solution

The key to control is to find and treat these sources directly. In many cases, the services of a professional company such as Trademark Pest Solutions, is required to achieve long-term control. In Georgia and other southern states where this cockroach lives outdoors, successful control involves treating the attic, crawl space, and exterior cracks in the home and finding and treating likely cockroach harborages over the entire property.

Trademark uses a professional-grade insecticide to effectively control cockroaches. Skilled technicians find their daytime shelters and carefully treat these areas. We take care to treat the cracks and crevices where cockroaches spend most of their time.

How we Eliminate them

Trademark evaluates each infestation to determine an effective treatment and elimination plan. The pesticides we use vary in formulation, method of delivery, biological activity, residual longevity and other characteristics. They also vary in their toxicity to the target organism and to humans and animals. We are very familiar with the product - especially with its relative toxicity. The type of chemical selected and the application method used depend on the location and nature of the infestation. No one chemical handles all cockroach problems, but a combination of the various types is very effective.

The ultimate goal is to Prevent them

Insecticides generally provide only temporary control within structures. Since some cockroach species invade homes and buildings from outside, they may re-infest dwellings once the insecticide dissipates. To solve this problem, outdoor populations must also be controlled. In certain situations cockroach baits can be used around the outsides of buildings.
