Types of Cockroaches Found in Greenville, NC

1. German Cockroaches

  • Small, tan roaches with two dark stripes on the thorax
  • Reproduce extremely fast (up to 40 eggs per capsule)
  • Common in kitchens, apartments, restaurants, and multi-family housing
  • Do not live outside — always an indoor infestation

2. American Cockroaches

  • Large reddish-brown roaches often seen in crawlspaces, drains, and basements
  • Commonly called “water bugs” in North Carolina
  • May enter homes through plumbing or exterior cracks

3. Smoky Brown Cockroaches

  • Large dark-brown roaches found outdoors in gutters, mulch, and trees
  • Often enter homes during rainy or humid conditions

4. Oriental Cockroaches

  • Shiny black roaches that prefer damp environments
  • Often found in crawlspaces or under porches

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

  • Live roaches seen during the day
  • Droppings resembling pepper flakes or coffee grounds
  • Egg capsules (oothecae) behind appliances or cabinets
  • Musty odor in kitchens or bathrooms
  • Smear marks along walls and baseboards

If you see one roach, there are likely many more hidden inside cracks and wall voids.


Our Cockroach Treatment Process

We combine advanced Integrated Pest Management (IPM), targeted chemical applications, and sanitation guidance to eliminate infestations at the source.

1. Detailed Inspection

  • Check behind refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, and microwaves
  • Inspect kitchens, bathrooms, storage rooms, and wall voids
  • Identify species and severity of infestation

2. German Roach Treatment Program

German roaches require a unique approach since baits and chemicals must be rotated to prevent resistance.

  • Gel bait placements in targeted cracks and crevices
  • Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) to stop egg development
  • Residual, non-repellent treatments
  • Dusts applied in voids and wall cavities

3. American & Smoky Brown Roach Treatments

  • Exterior perimeter treatments
  • Crawlspace inspection and treatment
  • Drain and moisture source inspection
  • Tree, mulch, and foundation reduction recommendations

4. Follow-Up & Monitoring

Severe infestations may require 1–2 follow-up visits depending on activity levels.


Preparation Tips for Roach Treatment

  • Clean food debris from counters and floors

Frequently Asked Questions – Roach Treatment

Why do I still see roaches after treatment?

After treatment, hidden roaches are forced out of nesting areas. Activity decreases significantly within 7–10 days.

Do German roaches come from outside?

No. German roaches are always brought inside through grocery bags, boxes, appliances, or belongings.

How long does it take to eliminate a severe infestation?

Severe German roach infestations typically require 2–4 weeks of treatment and sanitation work.

Are treatments safe for kids and pets?

Yes. All treatments follow EPA guidelines and are safe once dry.

Can I treat roaches myself?

DIY sprays often make infestations worse by scattering roaches. Professional baiting and IGRs are far more effective.
