Common Cockroaches Found in San Diego, CA

American Cockroaches

American cockroaches, often called palmetto bugs, are large roaches, measuring between 1 ¼ and 2 ⅛ inches in length. They are reddish-brown with a yellowish figure-eight marking on their heads. These pests prefer warm, damp environments like basements and drains. Without proper control, they can quickly spread throughout homes in San Diego.

German Cockroaches

German cockroaches are light brown with two dark stripes down their backs. They reproduce quickly, so quick treatment is vital. We use an insect growth regulator to halt breeding and apply granular treatments for other species. Customers must clean thoroughly and remove food sources before we begin service.

Brown-Banded Cockroaches

Often mistaken for German cockroaches, brown-banded cockroaches share a similar size and color. They prefer warmer environments and are commonly found in higher spots like ceilings, inside cabinets, and behind picture frames. Since they don’t need much moisture to survive, brown-banded cockroaches are more challenging to control with traditional methods.

Oriental Cockroaches

Dark brown to black, Oriental cockroaches can grow up to an inch long. They thrive in moist areas like basements, under sinks, and crawl spaces. These pests can transmit bacteria, which may pose health risks. Our team offers fast and effective solutions to eliminate these cockroaches.

Turkestan Cockroaches

San Diego is seeing a rise in Turkestan cockroach activity. These reddish-brown pests thrive in warm weather and are often drawn to lights at night. They can enter homes through small gaps, so it’s important to act quickly to prevent a larger infestation.

Our Pest Treatment Process is Simple

Initial Treatment

San Diego Pest Control starts by inspecting your home to assess the cockroach infestation and its severity. We target key areas like kitchens and bathrooms. For German cockroaches, we apply baits and growth inhibitors to break the breeding cycle. For other species, such as the American cockroach, we use granular treatments.

We recommend cleaning the areas to be treated, such as behind appliances, to improve the effectiveness of our treatments. A reduction in cockroach activity should be noticeable within a few days.

Follow-Up Treatment

Our follow-up treatments ensure your home stays cockroach-free. After the initial visit, we assess if additional treatments are needed. We return within two weeks to monitor progress and apply any required treatments. If a third visit is necessary, it’s offered at no extra charge.

The follow-up care depends on the type of cockroach. For German cockroaches, we may apply growth regulators to halt reproduction. For American and Australian cockroaches, we use granular solutions. We also provide advice on how to prevent future infestations by sealing gaps and keeping your home clean.

Quarterly Service

Our quarterly service is designed to protect your home from cockroach infestations. We use targeted treatments that eliminate existing pests and stop them from coming back. Each service usually takes about an hour, depending on the severity of the infestation.

Every quarterly visit includes a detailed inspection and treatment of your home. For German cockroach problems, we’ll offer advice on how to assist in the process. San Diego Pest Control provides expert solutions and reliable service to keep your home safe from cockroaches throughout the year.
