❓ Cost FAQs

How many treatments does it take to get rid of German cockroaches?
Typically 2-3 professional gel bait treatments over 4-6 weeks. Egg cases (ootheca) are immune to insecticides β€” repeat treatments catch hatching nymphs. A single treatment rarely achieves complete elimination.
Why is professional cockroach treatment better than store-bought sprays?
Professional PCOs use non-repellent gel baits (Advion) that workers carry back to the colony, killing queens and nymphs. Consumer spray products are repellent β€” they scatter cockroaches and make the problem worse.
