Behavior and habits
They hide in cracks near warmth and moisture by day and forage kitchens at night.
Why cockroaches are a problem
Roaches spread bacteria to food surfaces, and their droppings trigger asthma and allergies.
How Antex handles cockroaches
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Deny water above all: fix leaks, dry sinks at night, keep food sealed, and inspect deliveries and boxes.
