Most Effective Treatment to Get Rid of German Cockroaches?

So you just saw a German roach running across your bathroom floor. If you saw it during the daytime, chances are you might have an infestation on your hands. But even if it’s not a full-blown German roaches (Blattella germanica) infestation, even just a few cockroaches can turn into several hundred, or even several thousand, in just a matter of weeks. These roaches can be found all over the world, including in Texas.

The “best practices” approach to German cockroach control (and for control of any pest) is known as Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM will tell you that the best treatment for German cockroaches is not to use any one single method. German cockroaches are extremely crafty and resilient survivors. They have adapted to be able to resist many common pesticides used today. You need a better strategy to treat for German cockroaches than just a can of German roach killer spray!

If you’ve got a growing infestation lurking around the wall voids, cabinets, kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, basement, etc. in your home, you should consider calling a reliable pest control company you can trust. The sooner the better, too, because of the rapid rate at which German roaches can multiply. Do you want a home full of cockroaches tracking filth and pathogens wherever they go? They can contaminate stored food, and cause allergies. Plus, they’re just gross.
