Common Cockroaches Found in Santee, CA

American Cockroaches

American cockroaches are also known as palmetto bugs. These roaches are large, measuring between 1 ¼ to 2 ⅛ inches long. They have reddish-brown bodies with a yellowish figure-eight pattern on their heads. American cockroaches are commonly found in basements, sewers, and drains. They prefer warm, moist environments and can quickly infest your home if not controlled.

German Cockroaches

German cockroaches are small, light brown, and have two dark stripes on their backs. They reproduce quickly, so prompt action is crucial. Our treatment plan includes an insect growth regulator to stop reproduction. We also apply granular treatments to other cockroach species. Before service preparation is requred: customers need to clean thoroughly and remove food sources.

Brown-Banded Cockroaches

Due to their size and color, brown-banded cockroaches are often mistaken for German cockroaches. They prefer warmer areas, usually found in higher locations like ceilings, inside cabinets, and behind picture frames. Unlike other cockroach species, brown-banded cockroaches don’t need much moisture to survive, making them harder to control with standard treatments.

Oriental Cockroaches

Oriental cockroaches are dark brown to black and measure around one inch long. They are often found in damp areas like basements, crawl spaces, and under sinks. They can spread bacteria and cause health issues. Our pest control team is trained to locate and eliminate these roaches quickly and effectively.

Turkestan Cockroaches

Turkestan cockroaches, which are reddish-brown and can be found indoors and outdoors, are a growing concern in our area. These pests thrive in warm climates and are often seen around lights at night. They can quickly invade homes through small openings and cracks. To manage these pests, acting promptly when you notice them is crucial.

Our Pest Treatment Process is Simple

Initial Treatment

At Santee Pest Control, we thoroughly inspect your home to identify the type and severity of the cockroach infestation. Our team targets common areas where cockroaches hide, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. We combine baits and insect growth regulators for German cockroaches to stop their reproduction cycle. We apply effective granular treatments for other species like American, Brown Banded, and Australian cockroaches.

Before we begin, we advise homeowners to clean the treatment areas, especially for German cockroach treatments. This includes washing dishes, vacuuming floors, and cleaning behind appliances. Good sanitation helps our treatments work better. Once the treatment is applied, you should start seeing a reduction in cockroach activity within a few days.
