Roaches don't wait, and neither should you. Here's how to get the fastest visit:
Same-day isn't always possible on a busy day, but it's often available. If it isn't, we'll give you the earliest time we have and tell you what to do in the meantime.
Three roaches cause almost every call we get in Fort Lee:
The roach behind most Fort Lee apartment calls. German roaches breed indoors year-round, travel along pipes and shared walls, and arrive in boxes, bags and used appliances. Bait plus a growth regulator is what stops them.
American roaches live in warm basements, sewer lines and compactor rooms and wander up into lobbies and lower floors. They're handled where they live and enter, not just where they're seen.
Often called water bugs, Oriental roaches come in from outside and through drains, usually where there's moisture. More common in houses and ground-floor units than on high floors.
Clear the cabinet under the kitchen sink and the bathroom vanity. That's where we treat first.
Put away food, the toaster and anything stacked against the backsplash so we can reach cracks and outlets.
Remove garbage and recycling and wipe up crumbs and grease on the stovetop.
Don't spray or fog before we arrive. Fresh spray can keep roaches away from the bait we place.
Don't have time? Call anyway. We'd rather treat a messy kitchen today than wait while roaches keep breeding.
| When | What you'll notice | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Day of the treatment | Bait placed in cracks, hinges and behind appliances | Don't wipe or spray the treated spots |
| First few days | More roaches out in the open as the bait works | Let them be; don't spray them |
| One to two weeks | Far fewer roaches; fewer young ones as the IGR works | Keep food sealed and dishes done at night |
| Follow-up visit | We check activity and re-treat where roaches still feed | Tell us where you've still seen any |
| Up to 90 days | Covered by the 90-day roach warranty | Call or text if activity comes back |
How the method works: gel bait and IGR roach program.
A large share of Fort Lee lives in high-rises, co-ops and garden apartment complexes, many near the George Washington Bridge and along the Palisades. In those buildings roaches don't stay in one unit. They move through:
Treating your unit well — bait in the right places, a growth regulator, and sealing the gaps around pipes — makes a big difference on its own. For a lasting fix, the units above, below and beside yours and the common areas should be checked too. We can work with your super, property manager or co-op board and give them a written summary of what we found.
Managers: see our apartment building pest control programs. Tenants: our landlord vs. tenant guide explains the basics.
Fort Lee's Main Street, Lemoine Avenue and Palisade Avenue are packed with restaurants, cafés, bakeries and markets. Roaches in a commercial kitchen can't wait a week, especially with a health inspection on the calendar.
More: commercial kitchen and restaurant pest control and emergency cockroach service.
Foggers drive roaches into walls and into the apartment next door. In a building, that's how one unit's problem becomes three.
Store sprays and cleaners on treated spots can make roaches avoid the bait.
Roaches hide and lay eggs in boxes and paper bags. Recycle them instead of storing them in the kitchen.
A dripping faucet or a wet cabinet floor gives roaches the water they need. Fix it or report it to the super.

Often, yes. Same-day roach service is often available in Fort Lee, especially for calls and texts that come in early. If we can't come today, we'll give you the earliest time we have.
Most homes see far fewer roaches within one to two weeks. Heavy German roach problems take longer, which is why we include a follow-up visit and a 90-day warranty.
Gel bait doesn't scatter roaches the way foggers and sprays do — they eat it and carry it back. For a lasting fix in a building, the units around yours and the common areas should be checked too.
Gel bait goes in small amounts into cracks, hinges and behind appliances, out of reach of kids and pets, instead of being sprayed across the room. We'll tell you anything to keep in mind before and after.
It depends on the lease, the building and local rules, so check with your landlord and the town. Report the problem in writing with photos, and see our landlord-tenant guide for the basics.
For the first few days roaches come out of hiding as the bait and growth regulator affect them. Don't spray them; let them reach the bait.
