To find out how to get rid of cockroaches effectively, let the professional cockroach exterminators from ExterminaPro intervene. The cockroach—also known simply as the roach—is a harmful insect that’s very common in Quebec. Fast, it hides stealthily from the light and can, therefore, go unnoticed in a home for quite a while. As it carries pathogens, you shouldn’t wait to act as soon as you notice its presence in your environment. Request the services of a cockroach exterminator to protect your home and your family.

Identifying the different types of cockroaches

Before considering how to get rid of cockroaches, try to identify the specific species that has taken up residence in your pantry, in your bathroom, or inside your warehouse. Here are some of the types of cockroaches found in Quebec:

Brown-banded cockroach

The brown-banded cockroach can be recognized by the two lighter stripes that it sports on its abdomen. Unlike other cockroaches, it doesn’t need a high-humidity living environment to live. That’s why it can be found mainly in furniture, hidden in cracks, and sheltered behind appliances.

American cockroach

Brown and elongated, the American cockroach prefers hot and humid settings, but can also survive in a drier environment. Among the fastest insects in the world, it flees the light at breakneck speed.

German cockroach

The German cockroach is the most common cockroach found in Quebec. It prefers confined spaces, humid environments, and places where it can feed on food scraps. Small in size, it can sneak through tiny holes.
