A Glimpse Into Cockroach Behavior
Cockroaches are nocturnal, meaning they’re most active at night and prefer the dark. They thrive in warm, humid environments, which is why they’re often found in basements and crawl spaces, and even kitchens and bathrooms.
The combination of darkness and inaccessibility can make it challenging for homeowners to know they have an infestation until it’s too late. Cockroaches often stay out of sight, tucked away in cracks and crevices, and only come out at night when you’re asleep and don’t know they’re roaming about.
Effective cockroach control all boils down to understanding what food sources these insects are attracted to and what conditions make your home a habitat in which they can thrive.
Cockroaches will eat almost anything, but they’re especially attracted to sugary and fatty foods. If you leave food particles or organic matter strewn about your home or have issues controlling moisture, you’re more likely to end up with a cockroach problem.
One of the most frustrating things about a cockroach infestation is that they reproduce rapidly. This means that even smaller infestations can become a serious issue in a matter of weeks or even days.
A single female cockroach can lay up to forty eggs at a time, and those eggs usually hatch within a few days. These resilient bugs can also survive without food for weeks and can tolerate extreme conditions. You might have heard before that cockroaches could survive a nuclear blast, and there’s some truth to that, considering that they can withstand high levels of radiation.
When it comes to avoiding cockroach infestations, early detection and intervention are key. This is something the Corky’s Pest Control team specializes in. If you suspect you might have an infestation on your hands, don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance. We can take proactive measures to ensure that your home stays cockroach-free.

Cockroach Control FAQs
What are the signs of a cockroach infestation?
Unfortunately, you may not always notice a cockroach infestation until it’s gotten out of control.
Finding cockroach droppings around your home is one alarming indication that a colony has moved in. These are small black specks, usually found around food sources or in dark corners. You might also discover egg cases tucked away in places like enclosed cabinets or behind appliances.
One of the more notable signs of infestation is a musty odor. This smell, which might remind you of mold or mildew, comes from the secretions cockroaches emit.
If you see cockroaches during the day, consider it a sign that you need professional help for cockroach control immediately. You could be dealing with a large population that will be too difficult to manage yourself.
How can I prevent cockroaches from entering my home?
Mitigation is the best form of maintenance, and there are a few ways you can prevent cockroaches from becoming a problem. Start by sealing all cracks and crevices in your walls or windows. It’s also wise to keep your kitchen clean by wiping down surfaces and putting away food items when you’re done eating.
Moisture can also attract cockroaches, so make sure your home is well-ventilated. Pay close attention to humid areas like your bathrooms. If you suspect cockroaches have already made it into your home, you can set out bait or traps. These will give you a chance to monitor and control the infestation while you seek cockroach control services.
What types of cockroach control services does Corky’s offer?
Corky’s Pest Control provides comprehensive cockroach control in San Diego. Every treatment starts with a thorough inspection of your property. Our pest control experts will identify where the problem lies and assess how bad the infestation is. They’ll then go to work creating a customized treatment plan.
This plan could include pesticide application or baiting techniques — it depends on how bad the infestation is. We also offer ongoing monitoring and follow-up visits. We care about ensuring that our treatments are working as intended and are always happy to address any questions or concerns that you might have.
How effective is professional cockroach pest control compared to DIY methods?
DIY methods aren’t usually effective enough to completely rid yourself of an infestation. They only provide temporary relief, as they don’t address the root cause of the infestation. That means the cockroaches can come back — and probably will.
Only professional pest control specialists like those at Corky’s have access to the industrial-grade pesticides and specialized techniques needed to knock out an infestation for good.
Professional technicians also have extensive training, so they can identify and treat even the most unexpected hideaways where cockroaches might be thriving. Without this level of expertise, you aren’t guaranteed long-term results and peace of mind from your approach to cockroach control.
