Cockroach Control

Dr Jack’s Cockroach Control is designed to do more than spray where you point. We look for how roaches are getting in, where they are nesting, and what is keeping them there, then build a plan to clear them out and keep numbers down over time.

Seeing a single roach is unsettling. Seeing them again and again is a sign there is a lot more activity hiding out of sight. Roaches can spread bacteria, trigger allergies, and make kitchens, bathrooms, and break rooms feel uncomfortable very quickly.

Why Roaches Are Hard To Get Rid Of?

A can of spray might knock down what you see, but roaches are built to survive. That is why do it yourself treatments feel like a short term win. The activity dips for a few days, then you start seeing them again.

They:

Hide in tight cracks, wall voids, and behind appliances.
Come out at night when no one is watching.
Thrive where there is food, moisture, and clutter.
Rebuild quickly if only the surface is treated.

Inspection And Identification

Everything starts with a careful look around. On a typical visit, your technician will:

- Ask where you are seeing roaches and how long it has been happening.
- Check under and behind appliances, sinks, cabinets, and storage areas.
- Look for droppings, egg cases, smears, and harborage sites.
- Identify what type of roach is present when possible, such as German, American, or smoky brown.

Knowing which roaches you have and where they are living lets us choose the right mix of baits, dusts, and liquids for your situation.

Targeted Interior Treatments

Inside the home or business, we focus on control that reaches roaches where they hide instead of just where you see them. That usually includes:

- Precise crack and crevice applications in cabinets, around plumbing, and along baseboards.
- Gel baits placed in hidden zones where roaches forage and feed.
- Dusts in wall voids, behind switch plates, and in other protected spaces.
- Focused work in kitchens, baths, laundry rooms, and utility areas.

We avoid wide open surface spraying in living areas. The idea is to put products where roaches live, not where your family spends time.

Exterior And Structural Focus

Many roach problems start outside and then move in. By reducing pressure around the structure, we make it harder for roaches to reinvade after the initial problem is brought under control.

Your program may also include:

Exterior perimeter treatments around the foundation and entry points.
Attention to door thresholds, garage areas, and utility penetrations.
Recommendations for sealing cracks, gaps, and other easy access routes.
Treatment around exterior harborage areas such as stacked items, dense vegetation, or dumpsters for commercial sites.

Sanitation And Simple Changes

A big part of long term success is making your space less attractive to roaches. You do not need a perfect home for cockroach control to work, but small changes make every treatment more effective.

During service, we will point out practical steps you can take, such as:

Storing food, including pet food, in sealed containers.
Cleaning up crumbs and spills quickly, especially at night.
Reducing clutter in cabinets, closets, and storage rooms.
Fixing leaks and moisture issues under sinks or around appliances.
Taking trash out regularly and keeping lids closed.

Cockroach Control For Homes And Businesses

Roaches are a problem in more than just houses. We build programs for:

- Single family homes and townhomes.
- Apartments and rental properties.
- Offices and professional buildings.
- Restaurants, break rooms, and commercial kitchens.

For commercial accounts, we can schedule service to fit your hours and provide documentation of what was done for your records.

How Cockroach Control Fits With Other Dr Jack’s Services?

Roach issues often show up alongside other pest and lawn concerns. Cockroach Control works especially well with:

Ant Control for kitchens and entry points where multiple pests are active

General Pest Control to handle spiders, occasional invaders, and other insects around the foundation

Lawn and Exterior Services that reduce outdoor harborage and moisture problems near the building

Because we look at the entire property, we can often solve more than one problem with a coordinated plan.

When To Call About Roaches?

You do not need to know what kind they are. You just need to know you want them gone.

It is time to bring in help if you:

See roaches during the day on floors, counters, or walls.
Find droppings or egg cases in cabinets and drawers.
Notice a lingering, musty or oily odor in heavy activity areas.
Keep seeing roaches even after using store bought sprays or traps.
