Roaches contaminate food, spread germs and multiply fast. O'Connor Pest Control treats the adults you see and the eggs you don't, so the problem stops for good.
Roaches are some of the most adaptable pests in Texas. All they need is food, water and a place to hide, and nearly every home, restaurant, hotel and office provides all three. Once they move in, they reproduce quickly, which is why a can of store-bought spray rarely solves the problem.
O'Connor Pest Control treats roaches in two stages. We use residual treatments to eliminate the adult roaches, and we apply a bait paste that targets the next generation, keeping young roaches from maturing and reproducing. Treating both the adults and the eggs that haven't hatched yet is what breaks the breeding cycle.
Roach control is a core part of our commercial work, especially for restaurants, commercial kitchens, hotels and motels, where a single sighting can mean a failed health inspection or a bad review. Homeowners get the same thorough treatment, with no contract required.
Four species cause most of the roach problems in Texas homes and businesses.
Small, fast-breeding roaches that live indoors in kitchens and bathrooms. Seeing them during the day usually means a large infestation.
Large reddish-brown roaches, often called palmetto bugs, that come in from drains, crawl spaces and the outdoors.
Dark, slow-moving roaches that favor damp, cool areas like basements, drains and spaces under sinks.
Small roaches with light bands that hide in warm, dry spots like cabinets, furniture and electronics.
Roaches carry germs linked to illnesses like salmonella and dysentery, and they spread them across food-prep surfaces, dishes and pantry items. Their droppings and shed skins can also trigger allergies and asthma, especially in children.
A roach problem doesn't mean a property is dirty. Roaches often arrive in cardboard boxes, deliveries and grocery bags, or they move in from a neighboring unit or business. Once inside, a single pair can lead to a large population within months.
Common signs include live roaches (especially German roaches out during the day), dead roaches in cabinets or behind appliances, and droppings that look like black pepper or coffee grounds in kitchens and bathrooms.
Roach service from O'Connor Pest Control targets every stage of the infestation.
Store-bought sprays only kill the roaches they touch. They don't reach the ones hiding in walls and cabinets, and they don't affect eggs that haven't hatched yet. Professional treatment targets both the adult roaches and the next generation, which is what stops the cycle.
No. Roaches often come in on cardboard boxes, deliveries and grocery bags, or spread from neighboring units. Clean properties can have roaches too, though good sanitation does help treatment work faster.
Roaches can carry germs linked to illnesses like salmonella and dysentery and spread them to food and surfaces. Their droppings and shed skins can also trigger allergies and asthma.
It depends on the species and the size of the infestation. German roach infestations in particular often need a follow-up visit to catch the roaches that hatch after the first treatment.
