The sight of cockroaches in your home can be enough to send shivers down your spine. Cockroach infestations are the most common pest problem that happens in any indoor structure. In many Union County, NJ homes and businesses, no matter where in the world you live (aside from Antarctica), what type of dwelling you live in, or how clean you keep your home, cockroaches can and will readily infest indoors without discrimination. The most common indoor species locally is the German cockroach, which thrives in kitchens and bathrooms.

Signs of a cockroach infestation include seeing live cockroaches, finding their droppings, discovering egg cases or shed skin, noticing a musty, oily odor, and finding small, dark spots on surfaces. You may also see smear marks near baseboards, pepper-like fecal spotting in cabinet hinges, and nocturnal activity in kitchens and bathrooms especially in apartments and restaurants common across Union County.
Cockroaches infest homes because they are attracted to food, water, and shelter. They can enter homes through small cracks and crevices, and once inside, they can quickly reproduce and establish a colony. German cockroaches are “domestic” roaches that depend on human environments; leaky pipes, warm appliances, and grease build-up provide ideal harborage.
To prevent cockroach infestations, keep your home clean and free of food debris, seal cracks and openings around your home, fix any leaks or moisture issues, store food in airtight containers, and regularly dispose of garbage. Add drain covers, reduce cardboard clutter, vacuum crumbs nightly, and use tight-fitting can liners. These are key IPM steps our technicians reinforce during your service.
While DIY methods can help control small cockroach infestations, it is often best to seek professional help for larger or persistent infestations. Professional pest control technicians have the knowledge, experience, and effective products to eliminate cockroaches effectively. Because roaches hide in cracks as thin as a credit card and reproduce rapidly, professional baits, insect growth regulators (IGRs), and targeted crack-and-crevice applications are usually required for lasting results.
The time it takes to get rid of a cockroach infestation depends on the severity of the infestation and the treatment methods used. In most cases, it may take 2–6 weeks to completely eliminate all cockroaches and prevent re-infestation. Severe German cockroach infestations in multifamily buildings may require follow-up visits and building-wide cooperation to eliminate shared sources and entry points.
Of the nearly 5,000 species of cockroach that have been discovered, more than 99.5 percent do just fine out in the wild away from human contact. However, a small half-percent has become a recurring pest in human dwellings and an even smaller number actually prefers to live near humans and in our homes. The term “smaller” is an understatement because even if a handful of cockroach species like living near us humans, they do so in exponentially large numbers. In Union County, the primary indoor species are German, American, and Oriental cockroaches.
The following roaches are classified as domesticated cockroaches and will likely be the cockroach infestation that you have in your home:
