Cockroaches

🪳 Cockroach Control in Edmonton

Science meets care at Vero Pest & Environment.

Cockroaches are among the toughest household pests—fast, resilient, and capable of spreading disease. With our environmental engineering background and targeted, low-impact methods, we help you reclaim your space safely and effectively.

🕵️ Identify

Cockroaches are oval, flat insects with long antennae and quick movements.

Common signs include:

• Live or dead roaches, especially in kitchens or bathrooms

• Small brown droppings near walls or appliances

• Shed skins or egg casings (oothecae) in corners

• A musty or oily odor in infested areas

Tip: Turn on the lights suddenly at night—if they scatter, you may have an active infestation.

🔍 Assess

We inspect your home or business to determine the species, severity, and sources of infestation.

Our assessment also considers environmental or social challenges—like access limitations, clutter, or mobility barriers—so we can create a treatment plan that truly fits your situation.

🧺 Prepare

Before treatment, you can help improve success by:

• Removing food waste and sealing food in containers

• Emptying and cleaning cupboards and drawers

• Vacuuming and wiping down kitchen surfaces

• Reducing clutter and fixing leaks or moisture sources

Clean, dry environments make it harder for cockroaches to return.

⚙️ Control

We use a targeted, multi-step approach focused on long-term prevention as well as immediate control:

• Bait stations placed strategically to attract and eliminate roaches at the source

• Targeted chemical spot treatments for high-activity zones and cracks

• Diatomaceous earth in crevices and wall voids to provide lasting, low-toxicity protection

• Structural and sanitation improvements—identifying and sealing gaps, fixing leaks, and reducing moisture

Our method combines proven tools with environmentally responsible practices to restore safety without overusing chemicals.

⏱ Duration & Expectations

Results depend on the infestation level and sanitation conditions:

• Light infestations: usually under control within 1–2 weeks

• Moderate–severe infestations: may take 3–4 weeks with follow-up visits

• Persistent or large colonies: sometimes require extended monitoring to eliminate hidden nests

You’ll typically notice a major reduction within the first week after treatment, with full elimination following as bait and dust take effect.

🔄 Monitor

We provide follow-up inspections to ensure the infestation is fully resolved and to identify any conditions that could lead to recurrence. Continued cleanliness, sealing gaps, and managing moisture all help maintain a pest-free space.
