Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the baits safe around food and kids?
Yes. The gel baits go in small amounts in the cracks and voids where roaches travel, out of reach, and the products are applied per the label.
Q: How long does it take to get rid of roaches?
Most infestations are brought under control in a few weeks, as the baits work through the colony. Follow-up service confirms the activity is gone.
Q: Do you treat the whole building or just the kitchen?
We treat the active areas and the voids where roaches travel, including the kitchen, the bathroom, and the appliance areas, so the treatment covers the whole harborage.
Q: How much does cockroach extermination cost in Allentown?
An initial treatment runs $150 to $350 in Allentown, with quarterly plans from $250 to $450 a year. Heavy infestations need a deep treatment that runs higher.
Q: Why do roaches keep coming back?
Roaches come back when the harborage and moisture conditions stay in place. The bait kills the active population, and the prevention steps keep the next generation from moving in.
