Cockroaches are among the most persistent pests, posing serious health risks by contaminating food and spreading diseases. Infestations are common in busy urban settings like Toronto, and dealing with them requires expert help. At Pestong Pest Control, we provide reliable and effective cockroach pest control services designed to eliminate these pests from your home or business.
The Importance of Cockroach Extermination
Salmonella, E. coli, and other harmful bacteria are carried by cockroaches. These bacteria are responsible for food poisoning and many other health issues. Cockroaches, with all their hardiness and resourcefulness, are bad for our health. Their presence also makes our allergies and asthma worse, especially in children and sensitive individuals. They are so good at hiding that pest control methods you can do yourself are usually ineffective.
That’s why we at Pestong Pest Control find it necessary to enter cracks, crevices, and other hard-to-reach areas where cockroaches are infesting. Once we eliminate the infestations, we also ensure that those areas won’t soon harbour another cockroach infestation.
Pestong Pest Control’s Extermination Process
We commence with a careful examination of your structure to find out where the infestation started. Cockroach infections typically hang out in certain parts of your house: the kitchen, the bathroom, the basement, and sometimes behind appliances. Our inspectors know where to go, how to look, and how to find our and the cockroaches’ “secret” places. After we’re done searching, we can tell you the shocking truth: how bad it is, how likely it is to get worse, and what it will take to improve it.
- Customized Treatment Plan: Once we determine how severe the invasion is, we design a one-of-a-kind plan that targets the exact needs of the affected area within your space. It might call for using baits, gels, and insecticides that are safe for the environment and your household. Whatever it takes, we aim to send the cockroaches packing and keep your home safe for you, your family, and your four-legged friends.
- Roach Control: We administer treatments in the precise locations where roaches thrive and reproduce. Our products are harmless to people and pets and effectively eradicate roaches. We lockdown the adult roach population and the egg-laying females to cut off the clean sweep of the roach life cycle.
- Post-Treatment Monitoring: Once the initial defensive measures against cockroaches have been implemented, we monitor the situation with follow-up visits to confirm that the targeted infestation has been exterminated. During these subsequent interactions with our clientele, we also pass along useful instructions that can keep any rogues on their side of the line and prevent them from returning to active status. These measures could help homeowners maintain a space that roaches do not consider habitable.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation
