German cockroaches spread unit to unit through shared walls and plumbing. One infested kitchen becomes a whole floor within months. We treat the building systematically, unit by unit where needed, and keep coming back until it's clear.
Multifamily kitchens and bathrooms, skilled nursing facility kitchens, shelter dining areas, restaurant lines and dish pits. American cockroaches (water bugs) show up in basements, boiler rooms, drains and trash rooms. Both are common year-round in Los Angeles.
Gel baits placed in cracks, crevices and behind appliances where roaches actually live, insect growth regulators to break the breeding cycle, and dusting in wall voids and plumbing chases. No blanket spraying of surfaces, which just scatters them. For heavy infestations we schedule a series of visits two to three weeks apart.
Treating one unit in a roach-infested building is a waste of money. We inspect adjacent units (above, below, beside) and treat the block. We coordinate notices and entry with your property manager so it's done in one pass.
Restaurants and care facilities get documented treatments, product labels and service logs ready for the LA County Department of Public Health.
No. Gel bait and crack-and-crevice treatment doesn't require vacating. Residents can stay in the unit.
Surface sprays repel roaches and push them into neighboring units. Baits work because roaches eat them and carry them back to the harborage.
You'll see a sharp drop within a week. Full elimination in a heavily infested building usually takes two to four visits.
Yes. We schedule kitchen treatments before opening or after close so there's no contact with food prep.
