Contact Cockroach Pest Control Now

Seeing one cockroach in your kitchen doesn’t necessarily mean you have a full-blown infestation. Cockroaches are tough insects that move around – they can wander in from outside, through a crack, or even hitch a ride into your home in a grocery bag. That said, seeing a roach in the kitchen is a red flag, and you should take notice. 

If you spot a roach in the kitchen during the day, that’s more concerning because they prefer to come out at night. If you see these signs, you should check your home for roaches, such as tiny droppings like coffee grounds, shredded skins, or an odd, musty smell. Call for professional pest control.

Yes, professional pest control can effectively get rid of cockroaches. Barefoot Mosquito & Pest Control uses effective, less toxic methods that we target for your specific infestation. These methods include insecticides, bait stations, and traps, which are more powerful and precise than consumer-grade products. 

Our technicians are highly trained to pinpoint and seal roach entry points into the property, including food sources and moisture. Depending on the degree of infestation, it can take several treatments over time, but we can eliminate your infestation and prevent roaches from recurring. Our roach control experts can provide a fast, free quote and start services within one or two days.

In Texas, how often you need pest control for roaches depends on a few things, such as the weather, where you live, and how bad the problem is. Since Texas has a warm, humid climate and is perfect for roaches, most property owners like to order roach pest control every three or four months. Cockroaches are more active during warmer months, so you might see more in spring and summer. 

If you have a severe roach infestation, starting with monthly treatments for a few months might be the way to go until they are gone. After that, switching to quarterly visits usually works well for most property owners. Cities such as Houston or Austin, where it’s extra muggy, might need more frequent treatments. However, rural areas in Texas with heavy vegetation could see more roach infestations, too.

The cost of pest control for cockroaches in Texas will vary depending on the property size, the severity of the infestation, and the type of treatment needed. Generally, the more severe the infestation, the higher the price. That is why scheduling regular cockroach treatments with Barefoot Mosquito & Pest Control is ideal to prevent an infestation. 

Our cockroach pest control team can give you an affordable price quote in less than an hour, and we’ll provide a free booster treatment if your problem returns within 12 months.

Preparing your home for a cockroach control treatment in Texas is easy and won’t take long. First, clear out the kitchen and any areas where you’ve seen cockroaches. Clean up crumbs, spills, and grease in the kitchen because it attracts roaches. Take out your garbage, wipe down counters, and sweep floors and carpets. 

Second, declutter the property. Get rid of piles of paper, cardboard, or junk. They give pests places to hide. Also, move appliances and furniture away from walls if you can. Roaches like to be behind fridges, stoves, and cabinets, so giving access to those areas helps.

Third, ensure that food is sealed and put away. Ensure all food is in an airtight container or the refrigerator. Any food in open boxes or bags will attract cockroaches.

You can expect Barefood Mosquito & Pest Control cockroach treatments to work quickly. The time it takes for cockroach treatment solutions to work depends on several factors, like the type of treatment used, the size of the infestation, and the environment.

Our professional treatments often combine methods—baits, sprays, and sometimes growth regulators—to stop roaches from reproducing. With these, you might see a significant reduction in a week or two, but wiping out every last one, including eggs that hatch later, could take a few weeks to a month. We offer a 12-month guarantee that your roach problem won’t return, or we provide a free follow-up treatment.

Yes, we provide ongoing maintenance plans available for cockroach prevention. These plans focus on keeping your home or business roach-free through regular inspections, treatments, and proactive measures.

We usually recommend regular pest control services, such as quarterly visits, during which our technicians inspect for signs of roaches, apply targeted treatments, and advise on keeping your space less inviting to pests.

You should not need to leave your home for our cockroach pest control services. However, if you have asthmatic family members, you may want them to go until the pesticides are dried or dispersed.
