Local causes

Why roaches get into McKinney homes

01

Summer heat

Heat and dry spells drive American and smokybrown roaches indoors for water.
02

Slab gaps

Clay soil movement opens slab gaps and loose plumbing openings.
03

Kitchen leaks

Leaks under sinks and behind the dishwasher give German roaches water.
04

Older plumbing

Older homes near Historic Downtown see more drain roaches.
05

Boxes and appliances

Cardboard and second-hand appliances bring German roaches into new homes.
06

Health risk

Roaches carry Salmonella and E. coli, and their allergens trigger asthma.

Our process

How we treat cockroaches

01

Inspection

Kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, drains, garage and attic, with sticky monitors to find hot spots.
02

Identification

German roaches need a different plan from American or Oriental roaches.
03

Gel bait

Placed in cracks and hinges where roaches hide and feed.
04

Growth regulator

An IGR stops nymphs from becoming breeding adults.
05

Dust and perimeter

Boric acid dust in wall voids; perimeter treatment for outdoor species.
06

Follow-up

German roach jobs need visits over a few weeks to break the breeding cycle.

German roaches

Why sprays and bug bombs fail

German roaches do not come from outside, so perimeter spraying will not stop them. They breed inside cabinets, appliances and wall voids. Store-bought sprays and total-release foggers do not reach where they hide, and repellent sprays push roaches deeper into walls and make baits less attractive. They need baits and IGR placed correctly, sanitation and follow-up visits.

Help keep roaches out

  • Fix leaks under sinks and behind appliances
  • Do not leave dishes, food or pet food out overnight
  • Use a lidded trash bin and empty it often
  • Remove cardboard boxes quickly
  • Check second-hand appliances before bringing them in
  • Seal pipe gaps and keep drain stoppers in

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the cockroach questions McKinney homeowners ask us most.

Outdoor species often drop quickly after treatment and sealing. German roach infestations usually take a few weeks with follow-up visits, because new nymphs keep hatching from egg cases.

For a short time that is normal, because the bait draws roaches out before it kills them. If you still see roaches after the follow-up period, call us.

Not well. Foggers do not reach cracks and wall voids where roaches hide, and they can scatter roaches into new rooms.

Not always. American and smokybrown roaches come in from outside looking for water, even in clean homes. German roaches often arrive in boxes.

Yes. They can spread Salmonella and E. coli to food surfaces, and their allergens can trigger asthma.

Gel baits and dusts go into cracks and voids, not open surfaces. We use EPA-registered products by the label and explain everything before we treat.

It depends on the species, the size of the infestation and your home. You get a written scope after inspection.
