🪳 Cockroach Treatment FAQ

​​​

​​​​

Will I see more cockroaches after treatment? Yes, sometimes you’ll notice increased activity in the first week or two. This happens because the treatment drives them out of hiding and disrupts their nesting areas. This is a good sign—the bait and residual products are working.

How long will it take to get rid of them completely? Light infestations may clear up within 2–3 weeks. More severe infestations can take several weeks and will require follow-up treatments to break the breeding cycle.

Is the treatment safe for my children and pets? Yes. We use targeted, low-odor products applied in safe areas. Keep people and pets away until dry.

Should I clean my house right after treatment? Avoid cleaning treated areas, wiping baseboards, or mopping floors with solvents for at least 7 days so the products remain effective. You can continue cleaning in non-treated areas as normal and treated areas with water only.

Will one treatment be enough? Not always. Cockroaches breed rapidly, and eggs are often hidden. In moderate to heavy infestations, follow-up visits are usually recommended to ensure all life stages are eliminated.

What can I do to help the treatment work faster? Reduce food and water source store food in sealed containers, wipe counters, fix leaky pipes, and take the trash out nightly. The cleaner and drier the environment, the less hospitable it is for cockroaches.

Can cockroaches come back after treatment? Yes, if new ones enter from neighboring units, outdoor areas, or infested items brought inside. Regular maintenance treatments and good sanitation can prevent re-infestation.

Is there a smell after the treatment? Most modern cockroach treatments are low-odor. If any scent is noticeable, it will usually fade within a few hours.
