COCKROACH CONTROL IN PHOENIX, AZ
What To Know About Common Phoenix Cockroaches
In our area, the cockroaches we see most often are German, American, and Oriental cockroaches. Each is unique in its own way. It is helpful to understand the differences when you consider a strategy to get rid of these pests. Some roaches are far easier to deal with than others.
German cockroaches are challenging pests to eliminate. They thrive inside structures and tolerate dry conditions and food scarcity. A German cockroach is oval, ½ to ⅝ of an inch in length, with two black lines running down the sides. Adult cockroaches have wings that cover the two black lines, leaving an equal sign just below the head.
American cockroaches may present a challenge but are sometimes easier to control as they have a high moisture requirement. You may find it possible to drive these roaches out using humidity control and sanitation. An American cockroach is shiny and brown. It has fully-developed wings that cover its back, leaving a yellow area with two brown dots, below the head. You'll easily distinguish these cockroaches by their size. American roaches are 1 ¼ to 2 ⅛ inches long.
Oriental cockroaches present the greatest health risk. They have the highest moisture requirement of the roaches listed here and prefer to live in exterior environments, which are far too unsanitary to be found indoors. As an exterior cockroach, Oriental roaches are sometimes controlled with exclusion alone. They are black, with wing pads, and about 1 inch long.

Cockroach identification is essential because cockroaches vary in their food and harborage preferences. What works with one species may not work with another. We look for cockroach habitation, routes, entry point, conductive conditions, and other factors that relate to your infestation and share our findings with you.

TreatmentWe execute your treatment plan following field-tested protocols. The cockroaches are contained and systematically eliminated using a variety of control solutions relevant to your specific infestation. No two infestations are the same, and the products and materials used vary.

How We Help You Solve Cockroach Problems
Cockroach control is a complex scientific process that requires a systematic plan. If strict protocols aren't followed, infestations don't just continue; they worsen. Roaches are robust and resilient insects that can survive in harsh habitats. They survive on human food, both fresh and rotting. They eat hair, dead skin cells, wallpaper, documents, clothing, cardboard, feces, and other things that you would not consider food. Worst of all, they are elusive pests with the ability to alter their exoskeletons to protect them from harmful materials. Our pest management professionals have the training and experience to locate, eliminate, and exclude cockroach pests from structures. We use a three-part strategy.
