Expert Cockroach Extermination
Cockroaches are among the most persistent and troublesome pests encountered by property owners. Since 2011, EcoForce Pest Management has mastered a variety of cockroach control techniques that range from targeted local treatments using baits and perimeter pesticide applications to exclusion strategies. Our experience equips us to tackle even the most challenging cockroach infestations effectively.
The Importance of Professional Cockroach Treatment
Cockroaches are prolific breeders, with each individual capable of producing up to 300 eggs in their lifetime. A minor infestation can quickly escalate which makes early professional intervention essential. These pests can exploit the smallest cracks in foundations and walls to access food and shelter. They can also potentially spread diseases like salmonella and E. coli as well as parasites such as tapeworms. Their excrement also releases pheromones that attract other cockroaches which can rapidly lead to a full-blown infestation.
Choosing professional cockroach control from EcoForce ensures:
- Detailed inspections to locate active cockroach populations.
- Safe and effective application of chemical treatments.
- Expert eradication techniques that provide immediate and lasting results.
- Preventative strategies to keep cockroaches from returning.
EcoForce is committed to your satisfaction, and we offer a 100% guarantee on our cockroach control services. If cockroaches return, our team will return to reapply treatment at no extra cost.

Cockroach Control Strategies
Inspection & Identification
Identifying the specific species of cockroach infesting your property is crucial as it determines the appropriate extermination strategy. Inspections also identify areas that show cockroach activity so these areas can be treated appropriately.
Cockroach Bait Systems
Cockroach baits are available in liquid, gel, and solid forms and are strategically placed in areas with cockroach activity. These baits not only kill the cockroaches that consume them but also spread the lethal agent around areas where cockroaches hide. The cannibalistic nature of cockroaches enhances the effectiveness of the bait. As they consume the dead, they infect themselves and cause cockroach populations to die off.
Chemical Pesticide Treatment
Chemical treatments include both interior and exterior applications. Inside, pesticides with residual effects continue to control cockroach populations long after initial application. Exterior treatments create a barrier that poisons cockroaches as they attempt to enter. In severe cases, fumigation may be necessary to penetrate wall cavities and eradicate all cockroaches throughout a home.
Cockroach Sanitation & Exclusion
Maintaining cleanliness is essential in preventing cockroach infestations. Removing food sources and potential shelters is critical. Sealing cracks and applying perimeter treatments can also prevent cockroaches from entering.

Cockroach Information
Cockroach Appearance
Depending on the species, cockroaches can vary in size from about 0.5 to 2 inches with colors ranging from olive brown to reddish and dark brown or black. They have six legs, elongated oval bodies, and long antennae. While many species have wings, they typically do not fly as they prefer to scurry around on the ground.
Cockroach Life Cycle and Reproduction
Cockroaches undergo several developmental stages that start with nymphs hatching from eggs before developing into an adult. Females may produce several egg capsules in their lifetime, each containing 20 to 45 eggs. These eggs hatch in about a month, with nymphs progressing through several stages before reaching adulthood. The entire life cycle can span approximately 100 to 200 days.
Signs of a Cockroach Infestation
Cockroaches are mostly nocturnal and may go unnoticed until an infestation becomes large enough to notice. They often enter homes or businesses by hitching rides or through tiny cracks and congregate in places where their excrement releases pheromones signaling safe harborage to other cockroaches. Key signs to watch out for include:
- Cockroach droppings
- Musty odors
- Visible egg cases (oothecae)
