Cockroach controls practiced by Mechanicsville Pest Control in VA
Controlling the Cockroach pest depends on the species. Most Cockroach species can live indoors or outside. These pests will commonly enter buildings through cracks in foundations, ill-fitting doors, open windows and poorly sealed garage doors. However, if the species is the German Cockroach, they only live with humans so it arrived by hitching a ride on something carried indoors or you live in a multiplex where a neighbor’s infestation is arriving on a freeway of cables or plumbing pipes.
Suggestions to prevent a reoccurrence of the infestation are: Methods of cockroach entry can be reduced greatly by repairing building faults, such as repairing leaky water pipes, using expanding foam to fill entrance holes around pipes and caulking any cracks. Inspect items (especially used items) for hitchhikers before bringing them indoors.
If you live in Mechanicsville, VA or in surrounding communities like Richmond and believe you have a cockroach problem, call us sooner than later. The insecticides we use are indicated for certain species and will work better than anything you can get at a store. Plus, an untrained person applying pest controls does not have the experience or knowledge needed to effectively target the entire population of cockroaches.

There are 4 subspecies of cockroaches that are most often encountered in our homes:
The German Cockroach is the most feared common cockroach infesting our homes and businesses. They are a smaller roach about a 1/2 to l inch long and their color is light tan or brown. They are feared because they only live with humans making it unlikely they accidentally found their way in from the great outdoors. Plus, they are prolific breeders whose females take extra care to keep their egg capsules safe. They carry the capsule attached to their abdomens until one or two days before hatching and then deposit it in a protected location. Seriously, these are the absolute worst pest that will quickly overwhelm a residence left unchecked. Give Mechanicsville Pest Control a call as soon as you see one in the broad light of day, because these are nocturnal creatures that shun the light of day unless a large population sends them scrambling for food.
American Cockroach is reddish brown in color and sports a yellow margin at the back of the head. At close to 2 inches long, it's the largest species of cockroach that infest our dwellings. They are fast to skitter away upon discovery and are thin enough to slip into cracks escaping capture. They will live outdoors when its warm and move indoors to get out of the cold.
Oriental Cockroach is a little over an inch long making it one of the larger species type found in residential homes and commercial buildings. Its color is a metallic dark brown or black and they are slower in movement than other species which makes them rather easy to catch. Like many cockroaches, cold temperatures of around 32 degrees will kill them. Hence, the need to move indoors for the winter- if they don’t have a protected nest under mulch or in a sewer.
Wood Roaches If you see a cockroach flying around inside your home, it's likely a wood cockroach looking for a quick way out- just show it the way.
