About This Pest
Why They're Here
Cockroaches are attracted to warmth, food, and moisture. They often enter through gaps around pipes, doors, or in grocery bags and packages. They're nocturnal and prefer to stay hidden during the day.
What to Watch For
Sightings at night (especially in the kitchen or bathroom), small dark droppings that look like ground pepper, or a faint musty odor.

Our Natural Approach
Targeted Treatment
We use targeted, least-toxic treatments — botanical and mineral-based as the primary approach — to address the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Our approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes.
Family-Conscious Formulas
Our primary toolkit is botanical and mineral-based, formulated to minimize risk to your family and pets. No synthetic pyrethroid sprays. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt (essential-oil based) or EPA-registered minimum-risk pesticides (silica gel, borate).
How You Can Help
  • Keep your kitchen clean — wipe counters and sweep floors nightly.
  • Store food in sealed containers and don't leave pet food out overnight.
  • Fix leaky pipes and faucets to eliminate moisture sources.
  • Take out trash regularly and use bins with tight-fitting lids.
Family & Pet Considerations
Our treatments use botanical and mineral-based products to minimize risk to your family — children and pets included. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt or EPA-registered minimum-risk. If we ever recommend an EPA-registered escalation product, we'll show you the label and explain it before applying.
