Roaches Aren’t Just Gross - They’re a Health Hazard
It usually starts with one. A quick scuttle across the kitchen floor at night. Maybe you catch it out of the corner of your eye. Then, a few days later, you spot another. And another. And before you know it, your home—or worse, your business—is playing host to a full-blown infestation.
Cockroaches are more than just an eyesore. They contaminate food, trigger allergies, and spread bacteria that can seriously impact your family’s health or your customers’ safety. Once they settle in, they don’t go quietly—and DIY sprays rarely do more than annoy them.
Roaches Are Survivors. But So Are We.
There’s a reason cockroaches have been around since the dinosaurs. They’re quick, they hide well, and they reproduce fast. Sacramento’s warm climate doesn’t help either—it’s practically a roach vacation destination.
At Pest Control Center, we don’t just throw down some traps and call it a day. We get to the root of the infestation. That means figuring out how they’re getting in, where they’re hiding, and what’s feeding the problem. Then we hit them hard—and follow through until they’re gone for good.

Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on the species of cockroach will determine the treatment method. Let us identify the cockroach and review your options with you.
Depending on the severity of the infestation, multiple treatments may be required to completely control the German cockroach population. However, if the area is properly prepped and the treatment is done correctly, infestations can often be controlled quickly and effectively. Follow-up services will be scheduled as needed to ensure continued success.
No, you do not need to sign a contract. Our Pest Prevention German Cockroach service is a one-time treatment specifically designed to target and control your current infestation. Once the infestation is under control, the service is considered complete. We don't lock you into long-term commitments!
There are many different species of cockroaches, and the German cockroach is quite different from those you might see outdoors. German cockroaches typically infest indoor areas, especially near food sources, trash, and in areas with warmer temperatures and higher humidity levels. In contrast, outdoor species tend to prefer cooler, more humid environments. German cockroaches are usually smaller and lighter in color. Proper identification is crucial, so we always recommend a positive identification before proceeding with treatment.
This service is designed to control the current German cockroach infestation, but it does not guarantee that future infestations won’t occur. Keep in mind that German cockroaches don’t just wonder in from the streets. They are typically introduced into a space through items like groceries, used appliances, or furniture. Ensuring good sanitation practices and being mindful of what enters your home can greatly reduce the chances of a new infestation.
The reentry time varies depending on the specifics of your property. After each service, the technician will provide you with exact reentry timeframes. Best practices typically recommend vacating the property for 2-3 hours or until the treatment has dried and settled. Always follow the technician’s instructions to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.
