Which roach do you have?
Two kinds of roaches cause almost every call in Englewood, and they're treated differently:
| German cockroach | Oriental / American cockroach | |
|---|---|---|
| Looks like | Small, light brown, two dark stripes behind the head | Large; shiny black (oriental) or reddish brown (American) |
| Where you see them | Kitchen cabinets, behind the stove and fridge, bathrooms | Basements, floor drains, laundry rooms, boiler rooms |
| Lives | Entirely indoors, near food, water and heat | Damp places — drains, sewers, crawl spaces, soil |
| Spreads | Fast, and from unit to unit in a building | Slower; often wanders in from outside or the drains |
| Treatment | Gel bait and growth regulator in cracks, plus follow-ups | Drains, basement, gaps around pipes and doors, the outside |
German roaches are the ones that take over kitchens. If you see them during the day, there are a lot of them. More on each kind on our cockroach page.
Signs of roaches
Pepper-like specks
Droppings on cabinet hinges, inside drawers and behind appliances.
Egg cases
Small brown capsules in corners and cracks mean they're breeding.
Running at night
Roaches scatter when the kitchen light goes on. A few at night usually means more hidden.
Musty smell
A heavy German roach problem leaves an oily smell in cabinets.
Big dark roaches only in the basement after rain? That's usually drain roaches, not a kitchen infestation.
Roaches in Englewood apartment buildings
Englewood has a lot of apartment buildings and older multi-family houses, from the blocks around downtown to garden complexes. German roaches don't stay in one apartment — they move through shared walls, pipe chases, trash rooms and the basement. Treating one kitchen while the units around it still have roaches rarely lasts.
- If you rent: tell the landlord or super in writing, with photos and dates. Don't spray before we come — store sprays push roaches into the next unit and make bait work worse.
- If you own or manage the building: the best results come from treating the affected unit and the units next to, above and below it at the same time, plus the trash room, laundry and basement. We keep a written record of each visit.
- Recurring service: for larger buildings, scheduled visits keep roaches from building back up. Regular service comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Who pays depends on the lease and the building. Our landlord and tenant guide explains the basics in general terms, and owners can see our apartment building programs.
How we get rid of roaches
Inspect
A licensed technician checks kitchens, bathrooms, the basement, drains and shared spaces, and finds where they hide and breed.
Treat the hiding spots
Gel baits go into cracks, hinges, gaps behind appliances and under sinks. An insect growth regulator stops young roaches from breeding. No fogging the whole apartment.
Fix what feeds them
We show you the leaks, pipe gaps, cardboard and food habits that keep them coming, and what to seal.
Follow up
We come back to check and re-treat. German roach problems almost always need at least one follow-up. Roach treatment carries a 90-day warranty.
How to get ready for roach treatment
A little prep makes the treatment work much better:
- Stop using sprays and foggers a few days before. They scatter roaches and make them avoid bait.
- Clear under the kitchen and bathroom sinks so we can reach the back and the pipes.
- Put food away in sealed containers and wipe the counters and stovetop.
- Get rid of extra cardboard — roaches hide and lay eggs in it.
- Tell us about pets, babies or health concerns so we can plan around them.
After treatment, don't wipe the cracks where bait was placed, and keep up the basics: no dishes overnight, no open food, no standing water.
Restaurants and food shops in Englewood
Englewood's downtown has plenty of restaurants, cafés, bakeries and food shops. For them, one roach seen by a customer or an inspector is a real problem. New Jersey health inspections end with a placard rated Satisfactory, Conditionally Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory, and signs of roaches count against you.
- Service before opening or after closing.
- Treatment under and behind equipment, around floor drains, grease traps, dish areas and storage.
- Checks of deliveries and cardboard, which is how many roaches arrive.
- A written record of every visit to show an inspector.
Inspection coming up, or just got a bad result? Call or text 973-510-2585. Same-day service is often available for urgent commercial problems.

Cockroach Questions from Englewood
What's the best way to get rid of German roaches?
Gel baits and an insect growth regulator placed exactly where they hide, plus a follow-up visit. Sprays and foggers usually scatter them instead.
How long does it take?
Most homes see a big drop within a couple of weeks. Heavy German roach problems usually need at least one follow-up.
Is there a warranty?

Usually not for long, because we treat cracks and hiding spots, not the air. We'll explain any precautions for kids and pets.
