Why Cockroach Control Matters
Seeing one cockroach usually means hundreds are hiding nearby. We treat cockroach control as a serious public health necessity, not just a nuisance.
- Health Risks: Cockroaches are dangerous mechanical vectors that spread bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and Dysentery across countertops and utensils.
- Allergies & Asthma: Their shedding skins and droppings contain potent allergens that can trigger severe asthma attacks, especially in children and the elderly.
- Rapid Reproduction: A single German Cockroach female can produce thousands of offspring in a year. They hide in warm, humid areas (motors, sinks), making DIY sprays ineffective against the hidden population.
What’s Included:
1. Inspection & Identification
Protecta’s licensed technicians perform a flush-out analysis to identify the species (e.g., German, American, or Oriental) and locate harborages behind appliances and inside cabinetry.
2. Treatment Plan & Strategy
We design a customized pest control plan using IPM (Integrated Pest Management). Our focus is breaking the reproductive life cycle so the population cannot bounce back.
3. Safe Application of Control Methods
We apply EPA-approved gel baits and Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs). These non-repellent treatments encourage roaches to feed and return to the nest, creating a cascade effect that kills the colony.
4. Prevention & Encasement
To stop re-entry, we seal cracks around plumbing and provide a sanitation consultation. Removing food sources and moisture is critical to long-term exclusion.
Treatment Methods We Use
- Gel Baiting: Precision application of food-based formulas that provide targeted cockroach control in tight crevices without airborne sprays.
- Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs): "Birth control" for roaches that sterilizes adults and stops nymphs from maturing.
- Dusting Void Treatments: Applying desiccant dusts behind electrical outlets and wall voids where roaches nest.
- HEPA Vacuuming: Physical removal of live roaches and allergen-filled debris to immediately reduce population.
- Trapping & Monitoring: Using glue boards to track activity levels and identify hot spots.
