Why do I have cockroaches if my home is clean?

Cockroaches enter homes through cracks, gaps in plumbing, cardboard boxes, and even grocery bags — cleanliness is not the main factor. New Mexico's warm, dry climate makes roaches resourceful at finding moisture and warmth indoors regardless of sanitation levels.

How long does it take to get rid of cockroaches?

German cockroach infestations typically require 2–3 treatments over 4–6 weeks for complete elimination. American cockroaches can often be resolved faster. Our gel bait system works within days, though full colony elimination takes time.

Are roach control products safe for children and pets?

We use targeted gel baits and residual sprays applied in cracks and crevices, away from surfaces children and pets contact directly. Products are EPA-registered and applied according to label directions for maximum safety.

What is the difference between German and American cockroaches?

German cockroaches are small (half-inch), light brown, and prefer kitchens and bathrooms. They reproduce rapidly and are harder to eliminate. American cockroaches are large (1.5–2 inches), reddish-brown, and often enter from sewers or crawl spaces. Each requires a different treatment approach.

Do roaches come back after treatment?

Without addressing entry points and conducive conditions (moisture, food access, harborage), reinfestation is possible. Our treatments include sanitation guidance and follow-up plans to prevent roaches from returning.
