Greenville, SC Cockroach Control
Greenville is blessed with natural resources like the Reedy River, but these beautiful environments also appeal to pests. Unfortunately, one of those pests is cockroaches.
Cockroaches are the most disgusting house guest you’ll ever share your Greenville home with. By the time you see one, there will be many more, so having a reliable cockroach exterminator is essential.
Want to eradicate them? Croach® can help. Our cockroach exterminator team will remove the infestation and work with you to develop a plan to keep them away permanently. Then, you’ll never need to worry about roaches again.
Types of Cockroaches in Greenville
Like any warm-weather Southern town, Greenville, SC is prone to cockroaches. Some residents have even found the humor in them—for Valentine’s Day one year, Greenville Zoo offered to name a cockroach after people’s exes in return for a $15 donation.
You’ll find over 15 varieties of cockroaches in the state. The ones you’ll see in your home most often include:
- German cockroaches
- Brown-banded cockroaches
- American cockroaches
- Smoky brown cockroaches
- Oriental cockroaches
German and brown-banded cockroaches are smaller and more widespread. American, smoky brown and oriental cockroaches are all larger varieties that don’t breed as aggressively. The more significant types also prefer the outdoors, but you’ll occasionally find some in the home, usually on the first floor.
Our technician starts your visit with a thorough cockroach inspection. They look for potential food sources, ways cockroaches get into your home, and their hiding places. Then, they created a customized cockroach control plan to meet the needs of your unique pest control situation.

What Attracts Cockroaches?
Have you seen one? Then you know there are surely more lurking under your appliances, creeping around your cabinets, nibbling on your food, and spreading germs across your countertops.
Cockroaches are like any other creature. They’re looking for food, water, and shelter. You just have to make sure that they don't find that at your house.
Homes with food or dirty dishes left in sinks or on countertops are attractive, but we’ve met with many clients who are meticulous about cleanliness and still have roaches.
Roaches can eat almost anything and sometimes feast on crumbs that fall into tough places to find or see. They can also eat things we don’t register as food, like glue, paper, hair, drywall, and dandruff. Hidden water leaks can cause problems, too, creating a water source for these creepy crawlies.
When you need a cockroach exterminator, call Croach® pest control to get rid of roaches.
Are Cockroaches Dangerous?
Cockroaches don’t bite or sting like other pests but can pose significant health hazards. They carry and spread many diseases besides triggering allergies.
Roaches carry salmonella, staphylococcus, and streptococcus as they travel over surfaces you’re likely to touch regularly. Contact with these contaminated surfaces can cause or exacerbate both gastrointestinal problems and respiratory conditions.
Those with asthma are the most at risk when there are roaches in the home. Enzymes in their excrement, shedding body parts and eggs, can trigger allergies and cause flare-ups.
How to Get Rid of Cockroaches
Cockroaches are highly adaptable and are not easy to kill. Studies show that, in recent years, killing them is more challenging than ever, as they’ve become resistant to most over-the-counter pesticides.
The experts at Croach® have a multi-step approach to rid your home of roaches. We start by treating your home with an eco-friendly commercial-grade solution to kill the first wave of adult roaches. We return one month later to apply exclusion methods and treat your home a second time. This allows us to break reproduction cycles.
We establish a customized schedule to treat your property, which keeps roaches from returning.
Pays Attention to the Little Things!
Very nice! I asked Patrick to ring our video doorbell both when he arrived and when he left. He showed up on time for our scheduled appointment time, checked in, sprayed the outside of the house, then rang the doorbell to let me know he had completed the service. Attention to the little things goes a long way. Thanks Patrick!
