Cockroaches are more than just disgusting — they trigger asthma, spread bacteria, and contaminate food. In Maplewood, German cockroaches are the most common indoor species, breeding rapidly in kitchens and bathrooms. American cockroaches (waterbugs) enter from drains and basements. Oriental cockroaches prefer damp, cool areas like crawl spaces. Sousa Exterminating Co. eliminates all cockroach species with targeted treatments that are safe for your family and pets.
Call 908-352-7959 — Free QuoteGerman cockroaches are the toughest roach to eliminate because they reproduce fast — a single female produces up to 400 offspring in her lifetime. They hide in cracks as thin as a credit card. Our treatment uses professional-grade gel baits placed in harborage areas, combined with insect growth regulators that stop reproduction. We treat behind appliances, inside cabinet hinges, around plumbing penetrations, and in wall voids.
American cockroaches (waterbugs) and Oriental cockroaches typically enter from outside — through drains, utility pipes, and foundation cracks. We apply residual treatments to entry points, treat drain lines, and seal gaps. For basements and crawl spaces, we use granular baits and dust formulations for long-lasting control.
Cockroaches carry salmonella, E. coli, and other pathogens on their bodies. Their droppings, shed skins, and saliva are potent asthma and allergy triggers — especially dangerous for children. Cockroach allergens are the #1 cause of childhood asthma in urban areas. Professional elimination is a health investment, not just a convenience.
Cockroach treatments start at $200 for a single visit. German roach elimination programs (typically 2-3 visits) start at $350. Recurring monthly service available for apartment buildings and restaurants.
