The Dangers of Cockroach Infestations in Indianapolis

Cockroaches are more than just a nuisance; they are a significant health threat, carrying pathogens like salmonella, E. coli, gastroenteritis, and typhoid fever. Their droppings and shed skin can also trigger allergies and severe asthma attacks, especially in children and the elderly. If you see one cockroach, you can assume there are dozens hiding. In the unique environment of Indianapolis homes and businesses, where harsh winters push pests indoors, prompt and thorough treatment is essential.

Signs You Need Professional Cockroach Control

Visible Roaches: Seeing roaches, particularly during the daytime, indicates a severe and widespread infestation.
Musty Odor: A distinct, oily, and unpleasant odor often accompanies a large roach population.
Droppings (Fecal Matter): Small, pepper-like specks (German Roaches) or barrel-shaped droppings (American Roaches) found in kitchen drawers, cabinets, and near electrical outlets.
Egg Casings (Oothecae): Finding brown or reddish egg casings, usually hidden behind appliances or in dark cracks.

Our Comprehensive, Multi-Visit Cockroach Treatment Protocol

Effective cockroach elimination requires a sustained effort. Please note that it typically takes 3-6 monthly treatments to achieve full, long-term control. Each targeted monthly treatment is designed to eliminate approximately 75-90% of the visible roach population. Due to the products working effectively, you may notice increased cockroach activity for about one week after treatment as the insects are driven out of their harborages.

Our method focuses on both killing the active pests and stopping future reproduction, which is crucial for permanent relief. Our standard treatment protocol includes:

Application of a targeted insecticidal spray (Tier 2 and up).
Placement of three or four Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs), which prevent young roaches from maturing and reproducing.
Strategic application of high-quality cockroach gel bait in hidden, dark areas.
Application of insecticidal dust for inaccessible areas such as behind wall voids and electrical outlets.

Preparation is Key to Success

Cockroaches thrive in cluttered and unsanitary conditions. Activity may persist even with treatment if these conditions remain. To ensure the maximum effectiveness of our service, please complete the following checklist before our visit:

Remove all items from the top of the refrigerator and stove.
Empty cabinets under the sinks.
Be prepared for us to move the refrigerator and stove to apply treatment, as these are major hiding spots.
