How long does it take to get rid of roaches?

The timeline for removing cockroaches hinges on the roach species, how deep the infestation runs, and your chosen treatment. If you only spot a few bugs, a pro can often wipe them out in one to three days. A full-blown, house-wide outbreak often takes two to eight weeks, and the most severe cases may stretch to six months with several return visits. Your exterminator will inspect, treat, and follow up until every roach is gone, so you won’t be left guessing.

Can roaches be completely eliminated?

Yes—when you bring in a qualified pro and stick to the full treatment plan, you can kick roaches out for good. Your exterminator will hunt down hidden nests, apply targeted products, and schedule follow-ups to make sure no stragglers survive. Keep up with recommended maintenance visits and good housekeeping habits, and those pests won’t find their way back.

How can you prevent roach infestations?

Prevention starts with everyday habits. Store pantry items in sealed containers, pick up pet food overnight, and fix drips that leave tempting water sources. Swap cardboard boxes for plastic bins and seal cracks to shut down entry points. Schedule routine pest inspections so a small problem never has time to explode. Combine those steps and you’ll make your home far less inviting to roaches.

What should you consider when hiring a roach exterminator?

Start by sizing up your infestation and setting a realistic budget. Then ask each exterminator about licensing, insurance, and experience with roaches specifically. A reputable pro will inspect every hot spot, explain the treatment options, and give you a clear estimate before work begins. Check online reviews and request references so you know the company delivers on its promises. The right expert should combine proven results with straightforward pricing.

"Not very happy with the customer service aspect, I would rate them 1 star. I had to reschedule my appointment due to my 8 year old autism daughter having COVID and RSV, whoever I spoke to decided upon themselves to cancel out my contact, make me redo another estimate and charged me more money, all because I had to reschedule due to a extremely sick child. How low can you be to do that to customers who have special needs child/children and need to reschedule and charge me more. No one ever reached out to discuss what happened, like they don't even care what they do and then tell me they have to charge me extra. I'm in a year contract that I paid for so I will use up my year, as for staying with them highly undoubted due to what they did to me. If they took the time to reach out to me since I did try to complain several times and have been ignored. The technician Carlos is the one who deserves the 5 starrs. He was awesome, listen and responded great to all my concerns, took time to explain or answer any questions. I highly recommend Carlos!"
