Cockroach Extermination
Cockroaches are insects of the order Blattodea (same order as Termites). There are thousands of different species of cockroaches, and yet, only around 30 are associated with human habitats. Out of the 30 species of cockroaches that are classified as pests for humans, only four can be found around Los Angeles County.
- German cockroach
- Brown-banded cockroach
- Oriental cockroach
- American cockroach
Most of our valued clients calling us to get rid of and exterminate cockroach infestation throughout LA neighborhoods have previously tried to use Cockroach Bomb but to no avail. The main reason for most homeowners not being able to eliminate roaches practicing their own roach control particularly using fogger bombs is because of Cockroaches reproduction habits.
That means, even if you are able to squash a few or eliminate them at their nest, their eggs are small and most DIY Insect Control Bombs won’t work because chemicals found in these cockroach bombs do not penetrate through roach egg.
Roach Egg Basics
Cockroaches lay multiple eggs at a time. These eggs are contained in one single tube looking casing called an ‘Ootheca’ which basically means ‘egg-container’. Ootheca contains the needed protein substance produced by the female cockroach. The number of eggs inside each ootheca will vary depending on the cockroach species.
Most common species found around LA properties will usually have around 12 young roaches to be hatched. Because the roaches place their eggs in sheltered and usually out of sight places, its much harder to find and eliminate cockroach infestation for most untrained pest controllers. Especially when their nesting spaces is not inside the home (or commercial property) per se but rather in nearby places. Its always smart to get in touch with your local cockroach extermination company to completely eliminate them before roach nymphs arrive and adults multiply.

Do Cockroach Bombs Work for Eliminating Cockroaches
Yes and no, as we’ve mentioned above, depending on the stage of infestation, it could relatively easy to exterminate and remove roaches from homes and businesses. However, if the infestation stage has progressed and there are many cockroach eggs, then, using fogger bombs, or insect sprays will not work to completely eliminate cockroaches. When it comes to using pesticides, pest control chemicals, or cockroach bombs, there are also health and safety risks.
How Long Does It Take to Fully Exterminate and Get Rid of Cockroaches?
The answer for this question will depend on many factors such as size of the property (is it residential or commercial building that is infested.) or at what stage is the infestation (beginning or fully out of control infestation). However, usual timeframe is around two weeks for all the cockroaches to be fully exterminated. Best way to act is always as soon as you see one around your property, simply contact your local pest control company as they have the experience and tools needed to eliminate roaches.
How Much Does Cockroach Extermination Service Cost?
The answer for this question is very similar to the one above, for example: if your property only has a very small number of cockroaches to deal with, then, inspection and extermination could cost as little as $100. Where as, if you are a food storage warehouse that has been overrun by thousands of cockroaches, then, as you would agree the cost of pest control service will differ. Rest assured, Maximum Pest Control Services offers you the most competitive rates and fastest possible results in Los Angeles California.
Can Pest Exterminators Get Rid of Cockroaches?
Yes, almost all professional pest control technicians can successfully eliminate cockroach problems. Keep in mind that in terms of pesticides and pest control industry, there has been many advances in pest control and management technology, available products (non-hazardous chemical products), delivery systems as well as research over the past few decades. That means, all qualified and licensed pest control companies such as Maximum Pest Control Services can get rid of cockroaches thoroughly.
When Should You Contact Pest Control Experts for Cockroaches?
As soon as you see just one cockroach inside or nearby your property its time to call your local roach exterminator. Because unlike ants or termites, cockroaches do not search for food and or water in groups. That means, seeing just one of them is a sign that there are others nearby. Another good reason to call your local pest control experts is the fact that cockroaches can spread disease by contaminating food with bacteria which can then trigger food poisoning, allergies and asthma.
