How We Get Rid of Cockroaches
At Dreams Pest Control, we don’t just spray and leave. We use a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to eliminate roaches at the source and prevent future outbreaks.
Different Type Of Cockroach Services We Offer
1. Roach Inspection & Species Identification
Every job starts with a thorough property inspection to locate:
• Nesting areas
• Food and moisture sources
• Entry points and hiding spots
• Exact species (German, American, Oriental, or Brown-banded roaches)
We document activity, assess the severity, and build a personalized treatment plan.
Best for: New customers, unclear infestations, multi-unit buildings
2. Targeted Roach Extermination (One-Time or Initial Service)
This is our most requested service for fast relief from active infestations. We use a combination of:
• Gel bait placements to attract and poison hidden roaches
• Residual sprays for long-term protection on baseboards, cracks, and corners
• Dust application in electrical outlets and wall voids
• Growth regulators (IGRs) to stop breeding and egg development
Best for: Homes, apartments, offices, small businesses
3. Follow-Up Treatments & Monitoring
Roach infestations often require more than one treatment, especially for German cockroaches. We provide follow-up services to:
• Re-apply bait or adjust placement
• Monitor activity and bait consumption
• Ensure full elimination of hatchlings and survivors
Best for: Moderate to severe infestations, buildings with recurring issues
4. Roach-Proofing & Exclusion Work
