American Roach - Also known as
the palmetto bug, it is the largest of the common species,
growing to 1 1/2 inches or more in length. It is reddish brown
with light markings behind the head. They can be found in moist
areas such as mulch on the perimeter of homes, as well as in and
around bathtubs, floor drains, clothes hampers, sewers, and pipe
chases. |
| German Roach - The most economically
important urban pest and most common species found in homes,
restaurants, and hotels. Adults are about 1/2 to 5/8 inches long and can
be distinguished from other species by the two dark stripes behind the
head. They typically are found in kitchens and bathrooms and reproduce
at high rates. Adult females carry the egg capsule for an extended
period and each egg capsule contains 30 to 48 eggs. |

Smokybrown Roach - Closely related to
the American roach but are slightly smaller and uniform mahogany in
color. They have wings longer than their bodies. They live in wood
piles, tree holes, and roof gutters where they feed on decaying organic
matter. They will readily move in and out of structures foraging for
food |
| A full service program is offered to cover the many different types
and habits of roaches in the Houston area. |
| Some roaches will require interior treatment only, which may include
attic spaces, and attached garages. Other roaches may require the
treatment of the exterior areas also. |
| Many of our programs no longer require the removal of items from the
cabinets, and you will not need to leave the house. The safety of many
of the new programs are far superior to what they were in the past,
along with better control. |
| Call our office and we will assist you in the correct
approach to eliminate this problem pest. |
