Why it matters in East Tennessee
German cockroaches live and breed indoors, usually in kitchens and bathrooms, and spread fast. Larger American and smokybrown cockroaches often come in from outside, drawn by moisture. Each needs a different approach, which is why proper identification matters.
Indoor roaches are active year-round, while outdoor species are most common in the warm, humid months.

FAQ
Does having roaches mean my home is dirty?
Not necessarily. Roaches can hitch a ride in grocery bags, boxes or used appliances, and outdoor species come in looking for moisture. Clean homes get roaches too.
How long does it take to get rid of roaches?
It depends on the species and how established they are. Many problems improve quickly after the first treatment, with follow-up visits to make sure they don't return.
