FAQs About Cockroaches in Ontario

Signs may include live insects, droppings, shed skins, egg cases, or a persistent musty odor near kitchens, bathrooms, and other sheltered areas.

Where do cockroaches hide indoors?

They often shelter in cracks, cabinets, appliance voids, plumbing areas, and other warm, dark locations close to food and moisture.

Can cockroaches appear in a clean home?

Yes. Cockroaches can enter in packages, furniture, or through shared walls and utility openings. Cleanliness helps reduce food sources but does not rule out an infestation.

Why might cockroaches be more visible at night?

Many cockroaches are nocturnal and avoid light. Seeing them during the day can sometimes indicate that hiding spaces are crowded or disturbed.

How can I reduce conditions that attract cockroaches?

Store food securely, clean crumbs and spills, reduce clutter, address leaks, and seal accessible gaps around pipes and cabinets.

How does Mosquito Man approach cockroach control?

Technicians inspect activity and harbourage, identify the likely species, and develop a targeted plan that may include treatment, sanitation guidance, and monitoring.
