Signs You Have a Cockroach Infestation
The German cockroach is the most common species in Ontario. They prefer warm, humid areas near food sources — kitchens, bathrooms, and behind appliances. A single egg case contains 30–40 eggs; females can produce up to 8 cases in their lifetime.

How Do We Treat Cockroaches?
A multi-product approach targeting every life stage.
Gel Bait
Commercial-grade gel bait is applied inside cracks, crevices, and harborage sites. Cockroaches feed on the bait, are killed, and pass the toxicant to nestmates — eliminating the colony from within.
Residual Spray
Insecticide spray is applied to surfaces cockroaches travel on — baseboards, under appliances, and perimeter areas. Provides knock-down of active insects and residual protection.
Follow-Up
We schedule a follow-up inspection 2–3 weeks after treatment to confirm elimination of the full population. Re-treatment at no charge under the Sanctuary Guarantee if needed.
Cockroach Exterminator FAQs
What is the most common cockroach in Ontario?expand_more
The German cockroach is the dominant species in Ontario homes and apartments. Small (12–15mm), light brown with two dark stripes, they reproduce extremely fast — up to 40,000 offspring per year from a single female. They prefer kitchens and bathrooms and spread through shared walls in multi-unit buildings.
How long does cockroach treatment take to work?expand_more
You'll see a significant population reduction within 48–72 hours. Complete elimination typically takes 2–3 weeks as the treatment works through the full colony including egg cases. Our follow-up inspection confirms success — re-treatment included if needed at no charge.
How did cockroaches get into my home?expand_more
German cockroaches typically enter through infested grocery bags, cardboard boxes, used appliances, and second-hand furniture. In multi-unit buildings, they spread between units through wall voids and plumbing — they don't typically enter from outside. Their presence is not a sign of poor hygiene, but cleanliness does affect how quickly they spread.
Are cockroach treatments safe for children and pets?expand_more
Yes. Our gel bait is applied inside cracks and crevices that are inaccessible to children and pets. Residual spray is applied to treated surfaces that dry within 30–60 minutes. We use Health Canada-registered products and will give you specific re-entry guidance based on the treatment used in your home.
