German Cockroach Control in Miami

How to tell if you have German cockroaches

German cockroaches are small, about half an inch long, and light brown, with two dark stripes just behind the head. They stay close to food, water and warmth, so you usually see them in the kitchen and the bathroom.

• Roaches in the kitchen or bathroom, especially at night or when you turn on a light
• Small dark specks, like ground pepper, in cabinets, drawers and hinges
• Small brown egg cases, or females carrying one
• More roaches every week, even after you spray

Big reddish-brown roaches that come in from outside are usually American cockroaches, also called palmetto bugs. Those are covered by our general pest control plan.

Why they’re so hard to get rid of

German cockroaches breed fast and live in tight spaces: cabinet hinges, behind appliances, under sinks and inside wall voids. Store-bought sprays and foggers usually only reach the roaches you see, and they can push the rest deeper into the walls.

We treat single apartments and homes, and we work with property managers on unit-by-unit plans for multifamily buildings. We also service restaurants and other food businesses. See commercial pest control.

What to expect after treatment

Seeing more roaches in the first days is common. As the treatment takes effect, they come out of hiding. Avoid spraying them so the treatment can keep working, and call or text us if activity isn’t going down. Read more about roaches after treatment.
