Cockroach Identification Guide
American, German, and Oriental cockroaches: how they get in, where they hide, and why they are a health hazard.
Read the guide →Roaches do their feeding, breeding, and traveling at night, which is why an infestation can grow large before you see the first one. They carry Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria across counters and pantry goods, and they trigger asthma. Store-bought sprays thin out the roaches you can see and never touch the breeding population in the walls. We go after the population itself.

What we do
Every job starts with an inspection, not a sales pitch. Roaches concentrate in kitchens, bathrooms, drains, and around appliances, and they ride in on groceries and boxes or through cracks and sewer lines, so that is where we look first.
Knowing where they are breeding is what separates a real fix from a spray that only moves them around.
Our targeted treatments go where the infestation actually lives, clearing the existing population instead of just the roaches that wander into the open.
That matters because roaches breed fast, hide well, and can develop resistance to the consumer products most people try first.
Once the population is down, a barrier keeps new roaches from moving back in. Our general pest control treats the outside of the house, going four to five feet out from the foundation and treating windows, doors, entryways, and under the eaves, and follow-up visits keep it working.
No contracts. You get the treatments you need without the extras you don’t.
Why it matters
A cockroach problem is not just gross, it is a health problem: roaches spread bacteria across the surfaces where you prepare food, and their droppings and shed skins are a known asthma trigger. Seeing roaches in the daytime is a warning sign, because it usually means the population is heavy enough to push them out of hiding.

Neighbors first
Reliable, professional, punctual, friendly, worry-free service. My experience with them has never been anything less than that for several years now, and I have absolutely no reason to believe that will change for many years to come. I could not be happier with them.
We’ve had Accurate Pest Control service our property since 2008. They don’t try to sell us anything we don’t need. Our monthly service fee has been consistent and reasonable since 2008. It’s difficult to find a quality company in most home services, but you can count on Accurate Pest Control to take care of your property.
What a great company! I purchased an ant control plan that had a 1 yr warranty for our yard. One month later, new ant mounds in other parts of our yard. I called them and they came out and treated again at no charge. It’s been 2-3 months and no ants. They also treat my house and the chemicals they use aren’t harmful to animals.
I receive quarterly pest treatments and had them out for critters in the attic over the summer as well. Very friendly and helpful service! I felt safe with both men that came to help even though I was home alone. The price is competitive and fair. Would definitely recommend!
