Cockroaches hiding under a

Cockroaches scurrying across your kitchen floor when you turn on the lights? Finding roach droppings in your cabinets? At RECON Pest Services, we understand the disgust and health concerns cockroaches bring. These disease-carrying pests multiply fast and hide in places that make your skin crawl.

Our cockroach exterminator services eliminate entire populations, not just the roaches you see. These ancient survivors have outlasted dinosaurs, but they can’t outlast our targeted treatments. We find their hiding spots, destroy their breeding areas, and stop new ones from moving in.

Nebraska’s humid summers create perfect cockroach breeding conditions. They love warm, moist areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Once established, roach populations explode quickly—a few roaches can become thousands in just months.

Cockroach Pest Control Services

We handle every type of cockroach problem Nebraska properties face:

  • German Cockroach Exterminator services target the most common indoor roaches. These small brown pests breed faster than any other roach species and spread diseases quickly.
  • American Cockroach Control eliminates large “water bugs” that live in sewers and basements. These flying roaches are the biggest ones you’ll find in Nebraska homes.
  • Oriental Cockroach Treatments handle dark, slow-moving roaches that prefer cool, damp areas like basements and crawl spaces. They smell bad when crushed.
  • Brown-Banded Cockroach Management controls roaches that live in warm areas like electronics, appliances, and upper cabinets where heat collects.
  • Kitchen Cockroach Elimination focuses on food prep areas where roaches contaminate surfaces and spread bacteria. We sanitize and treat all their hiding spots.
  • Restaurant Cockroach Control prevents health department failures with aggressive treatments designed for commercial kitchens and food service areas.
  • Apartment Cockroach Programs handle building-wide infestations that spread through shared walls and plumbing systems between units.
  • Warehouse Cockroach Services eliminates roaches from storage and shipping areas where they hitchhike on products and contaminate inventory.

Cockroach Exterminator: Dealing With Different Cockroach Species

RECON Pest Services handles all types of cockroach species with tailored solutions, including:

  • German cockroaches are the worst indoor pests. They’re small, breed incredibly fast, and resist many treatments. Females carry egg cases until they hatch, protecting babies from sprays.
  • American cockroaches are large and can fly short distances. They prefer sewers and basements but come indoors looking for food. They’re easier to control than Germans but harder to keep out.
  • Oriental cockroaches move slowly and can’t climb smooth surfaces well. They need a lot of moisture and usually die quickly if you eliminate their water sources.
  • Brown-banded cockroaches like warm, dry areas that other roaches avoid. They hide in electronics, picture frames, and furniture where heat builds up.

All cockroach species eat almost anything—food scraps, grease, soap, glue, hair, and even each other. They spread diseases by walking through garbage and sewage, then across your food and dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Cockroach Control

How fast do cockroaches multiply?
German cockroaches are the worst. One female can produce 400 babies in a year. That’s why small problems become huge infestations so quickly.
Do cockroaches bite people?
They rarely bite, but they spread diseases by contaminating food and surfaces. They carry bacteria from sewers and garbage onto your dishes and counters.
Why do I see cockroaches at night?
They’re nocturnal and avoid light. If you see roaches during the day, it usually means the population is so large that they’re running out of hiding spots.
Can cockroaches survive without their heads?
Yes, for about a week. They breathe through holes in their body segments, and their heads aren’t needed for basic survival functions.
What attracts cockroaches to houses?
Food crumbs, grease, water leaks, and warmth. They also follow scent trails left by other roaches, which is why problems get worse over time.

Treatment and Prevention

How long does it take to eliminate cockroaches?
German roaches take 4–6 weeks for complete elimination. Other species usually clear up in 2–3 weeks. Multiple treatments are always needed.
Why can't I just spray cockroaches myself?
Store sprays scatter them and make them avoid treated areas. Professional baits work better because roaches eat them and share poison with the colony.
Will cockroach treatments make my home smell?
Modern treatments don’t smell much. We use gels and baits instead of heavy sprays. Dead roaches might smell if populations are huge, but we remove them.
Are cockroach treatments safe around food?
We use food-grade baits and avoid spraying food prep areas. Most treatments go in cracks and crevices where people don’t touch them.
Can cockroaches come back after treatment?
Yes, if you don’t fix what attracted them. We guarantee our work, but you need to eliminate food sources and water leaks to prevent new invasions.

Specific Cockroach Issues

I only see one cockroach—do I have a problem?
If you see one, there are probably dozens hiding. Cockroaches only come out when they feel safe, so visible ones mean there’s a bigger population hiding.
Do cockroaches fly?
American cockroaches can fly short distances, especially when it’s warm. German and oriental cockroaches can’t fly, but they climb walls and ceilings easily.
Why are cockroaches so hard to kill?
They’ve been around for 300 million years and adapt quickly. They can hold their breath for 40 minutes and survive a month without food.
Can cockroaches live in clean houses?
Yes, if they find water and tiny amounts of food. Even clean homes have grease under appliances and moisture in bathrooms that roaches need.
What's that smell when I kill cockroaches?
That’s their defensive scent. Large roach populations also leave pheromone smells that attract more roaches to the area.
