Is cockroach pest control the same as a cockroach exterminator?

Yes. Cockroach pest control, roach extermination, and a roach exterminator near you all describe the same visit, and German cockroach pest control is the version of it people ask for most, because German roaches are the species that infests kitchens and multi-unit buildings. The work is identifying the species first, then baiting the harborage rather than spraying the roaches you can see. UC IPM says to avoid foggers, bombs, or aerosol sprays, because these products can be hazardous and may repel and disperse cockroaches to other areas without actually killing them.

What does a cockroach removal service include?

It starts by identifying German, American, or Oriental cockroaches, because they live in different places and take different bait placement.

Ask for the quote in writing before treatment begins.

Why don't the spray cans work on roaches?

UC IPM says to avoid using foggers, bombs, or aerosol sprays, because these products can be hazardous and may repel and disperse cockroaches to other areas without actually killing them. It says insecticide gels and bait stations placed near cockroach hiding areas can be effective if sources of food and water are removed. That is the difference: a bait gets carried into the harborage, while an aerosol pushes the population somewhere you cannot see it.
