Roaches are one of the most common and unsettling household pests. Not only are they unsightly, but they can also carry diseases and trigger allergies. If you’ve spotted roaches in your home or business, it’s time to take action before the problem worsens. The Bug Man offers expert roach extermination to eliminate infestations and prevent them from returning.
How Do You Know If You Have Roaches?
Roaches are nocturnal, which means you might not see them during the day–but there are signs to look out for:
- Droppings – Small, dark droppings that look like ground pepper or coffee grounds.
- Odor – A musty or oily smell is a common sign of a roach infestation.
- Egg Casings – Roaches leave behind oval-shaped egg cases (oothecae) near food sources or dark corners.
- Shedded Skins – Roaches shed their skins as they grow–you might find these in hidden areas.
- Sightings – If you see one, there are likely more nearby since roaches are highly social pests.

How The Bug Man Treats Roach Infestations
Roach infestations require a strategic and thorough approach. Here at The Bug Man, we offer two primary methods for roach removal: targeted chemical treatments and integrated pest management solutions. Our treatments are designed to eliminate the infestation at its source and prevent future problems.
Chemical Treatment
Our chemical treatment is highly effective at targeting roaches where they hide and breed. This process includes:
- Applying insecticides in cracks, crevices, and other hiding spots
- Treating entry points like doorways, plumbing gaps, and wall voids
- Using bait stations and residual treatments to stop future infestations
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
IPM combines chemical treatments with environmental adjustments to prevent future roach activity. This includes:
- Sealing entry points and repairing leaks
- Removing food sources and moisture buildup
- Using monitoring traps to track and prevent re-infestation
