A Glimpse Into Cockroach Behavior
Why Cockroaches Are So Hard to Spot
Cockroaches are nocturnal and prefer the dark. You’re most likely to find them in:
- Warm, humid spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, and crawlspaces
- Tight cracks and crevices where they can hide during the day.
Because they stay hidden and active at night, infestations often go unnoticed—until they’ve grown.
What Attracts Cockroaches to Your Home
Cockroaches aren’t picky, but some conditions are especially inviting:
- Sugary and fatty food residue
- Organic debris (crumbs, grease, trash)
- Standing water or moisture from leaks or condensation
Keeping your home clean and dry is one of the best defenses.
Fast Breeders = Fast Problems
Cockroaches reproduce quickly and in large numbers.
- A single female can lay up to 40 eggs at a time
- Eggs hatch fast and new roaches mature quickly
Even a small infestation can become a major issue in just weeks.
They’re Survivors (Unfortunately)
Cockroaches are tough. Really tough.
- They can survive weeks without food
- They tolerate extreme conditions
- Some species can even withstand high levels of radiation
That’s why professional intervention is often necessary once they’ve moved in.
Early Action Is Key
The sooner you catch an infestation, the easier it is to stop it. Corky’s Pest Control specializes in early detection and customized treatment plans. If you think roaches might be active in your home, don’t wait—our team can help keep your space roach-free.
What to Expect from Our Cockroach Treatment Process
At Corky’s, our approach to cockroach control is designed to eliminate infestations at the source and prevent future outbreaks. While every property is different, our experienced technicians will tailor your service to your unique situation. Here’s what our process typically involves:
1. Inspection & Identification
Once our technician arrives, we begin with a thorough inspection to identify the type of cockroach (such as German, American, or Oriental) and locate harborage areas inside and around your property.
2. Sanitation & Exclusion
To ensure treatment success and long-term prevention, we’ll recommend steps like removing clutter, storing food properly, vacuuming, cleaning counters, and sealing up entry points. These simple actions play a major role in making your home less attractive to roaches.
3. Targeted Treatments
We apply strategic treatments using professional-grade gel baits, dusts, and insect growth regulators. These products are designed to work slowly so that cockroaches share the bait with others, reaching the entire population, including those in hiding.
4. Monitoring & Follow-Up
We place monitors in problem areas and return to evaluate activity. If needed, we adjust the treatment plan to ensure complete elimination.
5. Ongoing Prevention
Once your cockroach problem is under control, we can recommend a maintenance plan—especially helpful if you’ve also seen ants, spiders, or rodents inside your home.
More Ways We Help Keep Roaches Out
The Vacuum: Your Secret Weapon
Our most important tool—and yours—is the vacuum cleaner. It’s one of the most effective ways to remove cockroaches, their eggs, feces, and shed skin. Vacuuming also clears debris that could interfere with treatment products. Regular use in kitchens, bathrooms, and cracks can significantly support our professional services.
Full-Service Coverage, Including the Garage
If your garage is attached to your home, it can act as a key entry point for roaches. We treat the garage as part of our interior service to eliminate hidden harborage areas and prevent infestations from spreading.
Outdoor Roaches? We Handle Those Too
Roaches don’t just stay inside—species like the American, Oriental, and Turkestan cockroaches often live in garden beds, mulch, and foundation shrubs. Our exterior cockroach control service targets these hotspots to help keep them from migrating indoors.
Our 30-Day Guarantee
Our two-step initial cockroach service is backed by a 30-day guarantee—so long as both treatment visits are completed. It’s our way of standing behind the effectiveness of our work and giving you added peace of mind.
Maintenance
Within 2 weeks our technician will check monitors for new cockroach activity and inspect the entire area. Our second visit is to ensure our initial service was effective, especially in areas more difficult to control.
Once the cockroach activity subsides, you will be placed on our cockroach control maintenance program. Without an annual service plan, cockroaches will re-infest.
You get maximum control and extermination with Corky’s Cockroach Control Service. We always spray the outside of the structure, such as eaves and window casings.

Cockroach Control FAQs
What are the signs of a cockroach infestation?
Unfortunately, you may not always notice a cockroach infestation until it’s gotten out of control.
Finding cockroach droppings around your home is one alarming indication that a colony has moved in. These are small black specks, usually found around food sources or in dark corners. You might also discover egg cases tucked away in places like enclosed cabinets or behind appliances.
One of the more notable signs of infestation is a musty odor. This smell, which might remind you of mold or mildew, comes from the secretions cockroaches emit.
If you see cockroaches during the day, consider it a sign that you need professional help for cockroach control immediately. You could be dealing with a large population that will be too difficult to manage yourself.
How can I prevent cockroaches from entering my home?
Mitigation is the best form of maintenance, and there are a few ways you can prevent cockroaches from becoming a problem. Start by sealing all cracks and crevices in your walls or windows. It’s also wise to keep your kitchen clean by wiping down surfaces and putting away food items when you’re done eating.
Moisture can also attract cockroaches, so make sure your home is well-ventilated. Pay close attention to humid areas like your bathrooms. If you suspect cockroaches have already made it into your home, you can set out bait or traps. These will give you a chance to monitor and control the infestation while you seek cockroach control services.
What types of cockroach control services does Corky’s offer?
Corky’s Pest Control provides comprehensive cockroach control in San Diego. Every treatment starts with a thorough inspection of your property. Our pest control experts will identify where the problem lies and assess how bad the infestation is. They’ll then go to work creating a customized treatment plan.
This plan could include pesticide application or baiting techniques — it depends on how bad the infestation is. We also offer ongoing monitoring and follow-up visits. We care about ensuring that our treatments are working as intended and are always happy to address any questions or concerns that you might have.
How effective is professional cockroach pest control compared to DIY methods?
DIY methods aren’t usually effective enough to completely rid yourself of an infestation. They only provide temporary relief, as they don’t address the root cause of the infestation. That means the cockroaches can come back — and probably will.
Only professional pest control specialists like those at Corky’s have access to the industrial-grade pesticides and specialized techniques needed to knock out an infestation for good.
Professional technicians also have extensive training, so they can identify and treat even the most unexpected hideaways where cockroaches might be thriving. Without this level of expertise, you aren’t guaranteed long-term results and peace of mind from your approach to cockroach control.
