Family- and pet-safe roach treatments that go after the source, not just the roaches you see.
Few things feel worse than flipping on the kitchen light and watching roaches scatter. Here in Central Alabama, the warm and humid weather gives roaches just what they need to thrive, and once they find food and water inside, they settle in fast.
The two roaches we see most are German roaches and American roaches. German roaches are small, tan, and breed quickly, so they tend to hide behind appliances, under sinks, and inside cabinets. American roaches are much larger and reddish brown. Many locals call them palmetto bugs, and they often come in from drains, crawl spaces, and basements. Both are drawn to kitchens and bathrooms because of the crumbs, moisture, and warm hiding spots.
Roaches are more than a nuisance. They crawl through drains and trash, then walk across counters and dishes, spreading bacteria as they go. Their droppings and shed skins can also trigger allergies and asthma, especially in children. A few roaches in plain sight often point to a much bigger group hiding in the walls, so waiting it out rarely works. Store-bought sprays can also scatter roaches deeper into your home instead of wiping them out, which makes the problem harder to reach later.
At Empower Pest Solutions, we find where roaches are hiding and how they are getting in, then treat the source so they do not keep coming back. Our odorless, eco-friendly applications are safe for your family and pets. We help both homeowners through our residential pest control service and restaurants, offices, and shops through commercial pest control.
We check under sinks, behind appliances, and around drains where roaches live and breed.
Targeted treatments reach the nests and entry points so the problem does not return.
Non-toxic, odorless applications that are safe around kids and pets.
German roaches are small, light brown, and usually live indoors near kitchens and bathrooms. American roaches are larger, reddish brown, and often come inside from drains, crawl spaces, or the yard. They need different approaches, so we identify which one you have first.
Roaches need very little to survive. A small leak, a pet food bowl, or crumbs under an appliance is enough. They also travel in through drains, gaps around pipes, and grocery boxes, so even very clean homes can have them.
Yes. Roaches can carry bacteria onto food and surfaces, and their droppings and shed skins can trigger allergies and asthma. That is why we recommend treating them as soon as you notice them.
