Need cockroaches gone? We’ve been crushing infestations for over three decades at DOA Pest Control. Our State of Illinois-licensed team knows every roach trick—German, American, you name it—using baits and sprays that hit hard and fast. We don’t just treat; we seal and prevent, stopping those filthy crawlers in their tracks. With a one-year warranty on select services and a family-run passion for results, we’re the pros you can count on.
We’ve honed an effective process to eliminate cockroaches from your home or business, drawing on over 31 years of experience. Our certified technicians begin with a comprehensive inspection, targeting kitchens, bathrooms, and other warm, moist areas where cockroaches congregate. We identify species—whether German, American, or another type—to tailor our approach. Then, we apply industry-approved treatments, including baits, gels, and residual sprays, to wipe out active populations and disrupt their breeding cycles. Baits attract and poison roaches, while sprays hit hidden spots like cracks, crevices, and behind appliances. We also seal entry points and recommend sanitation improvements, like removing food and water sources, to prevent their return. Our process is thorough, addressing both visible roaches and their hidden nests. After treatment, we follow up to ensure the infestation is gone, offering a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a one-year warranty on select services. With our expertise, we’ll keep your space roach-free with minimal hassle.
Cockroaches are masters of stealth, but we at DOA Pest Control know the telltale signs to help you spot an issue. If you see live roaches scurrying at night—especially in kitchens or bathrooms—it’s a strong indicator. Look for small, dark droppings resembling coffee grounds or black pepper, often near food prep areas. A musty, oily odor lingering in infested rooms is another clue. You might also find egg cases (oothecae), brown and capsule-shaped, tucked in corners or under furniture. Check for these signs:
Live roaches, especially after dark
Droppings in cabinets or on countertops
Unpleasant, greasy smell
Egg cases in hidden spots.
Dead roaches or shed skins signal a growing problem too. If you notice these, don’t wait—call us to tackle it fast.
Cockroaches are survivors, and after 31+ years at DOA Pest Control, we’ve seen how their habits make them formidable. These ancient insects, around for 300 million years, thrive in diverse conditions. They’re omnivores, eating anything from crumbs to glue, and can survive a month without food—though only a week without water. Nocturnal by nature, they scatter when lights flick on, thanks to their speedy legs (up to 3 mph). Here’s what’s intriguing:
Tough: They can live decapitated for weeks, breathing through body pores.
Social: They communicate via pheromones, leaving trails to food or mates.
Prolific: A female German cockroach produces 30-40 eggs every few weeks.
Resistant: Some adapt to avoid baits over generations.
With 4,500+ species worldwide, only a few—like the German and American—plague homes. They don’t bite often but can spread bacteria by crawling through filth. Their resilience and group behavior keep us sharp when wiping them out!
