Oriental cockroaches prefer cold, damp areas and are often found in basements, floor drains, and crawl spaces across Ontario. XtermaPro eliminates them and prevents their return.
Oriental cockroaches (sometimes called 'waterbugs') are dark brown to shiny black and about 25mm long. They thrive in cool, moist environments and are commonly found in basement drains, crawl spaces, under sinks, and along exterior foundations. They move more slowly than other cockroach species and emit a strong musty odour.
Warning signs of oriental cockroaches:
Oriental cockroaches are filthy insects that carry bacteria from sewers and decaying matter into your home. They contaminate food and surfaces with pathogens that cause gastroenteritis and Salmonella. Their shed skins are also a source of allergens.
Oriental cockroach treatment focuses on the damp, cool harborage areas they prefer. We apply professional residual treatments and baits in floor drains, basement perimeters, and crawl spaces. Entry points from exterior gaps and foundation cracks are identified and sealed.
