Cockroaches are usually a shade of brown with adults measuring anywhere from ¼ inch to 3 inches long. Some roaches, like American cockroaches, have wings and can fly. Cockroaches are generally nocturnal.

An infestation of cockroaches can grow quickly, as each female can lay several hundred eggs each year. They are also good at surviving and can go long periods without water or food.

The types of cockroaches found in New Jersey are:

While all cockroaches can be an issue, home infestations are usually German or Brown Banded cockroaches. The other species usually remain outside unless weather extremes push them indoors. Each type of cockroaches responds differently to treatments, so identifying the species is the first step in roach control.

Cockroaches are more than just “gross.” They can be a serious health hazard. Their shed skins, droppings, and oils can cause respiratory problems and allergic reactions, especially in those with a prior condition like asthma or eczema.

Additionally, cockroaches also are known carriers of several diseases that can be transmitted through contact with the cockroach, the droppings, or their saliva.

Diseases include:



To exterminate cockroaches, we first identify the type of roach and the extent of the infestation. Cockroaches are good at hiding, so we thoroughly check every crevice and gap around a home. We then treat the home, killing cockroaches and their eggs. As a final step, we can create a protective barrier around your home that keeps cockroaches from returning.
