Our Cockroach Treatment Process
How We Eliminate Cockroaches in Toronto
Our cockroach control process is designed to eliminate infestations at every stage of their lifecycle. We begin with a detailed inspection of your property to identify the species, infestation level, and key hiding areas.
Inspection
We inspect all harborage areas — inside and behind appliances, under sinks, inside electrical plates, inside cabinet hinges, along pipe runs — to establish the full scope of the infestation.
Gel Bait Application
For German cockroaches, we apply professional-grade gel bait in small amounts at all active harborage areas. Cockroaches consume the bait, return to the colony, and the active ingredient transfers to other cockroaches through excrement, frass, and contact — eliminating the entire population including unreachable individuals.
Residual Treatment
We apply residual insecticide to key surfaces — baseboards, under appliances, inside cabinet voids — to provide ongoing kill as cockroaches travel through treated areas.
Follow-Up
We return to assess the effectiveness of the initial treatment, re-bait active areas if necessary, and confirm the infestation has been eliminated.
Signs of a Cockroach Infestation
Early detection is key to controlling cockroach infestations before they spread.
Identifying a cockroach infestation early can save you from a much larger problem down the line. Cockroaches are nocturnal and tend to stay hidden during the day, so spotting them can be challenging.
🟤 Droppings
Small black droppings resembling coffee grounds or pepper.
👃 Unpleasant Odor
A musty smell that becomes stronger as infestation grows.
🥚 Egg Cases (Oothecae)
Brown capsule-shaped egg cases found in hidden areas.
🪳 Live Cockroach Sightings
Especially during daytime (indicates severe infestation).
🧱 Smear Marks
Greasy marks along walls, floors, and surfaces.
