If you’ve seen even one cockroach in your home, there are likely many more hiding nearby. Cockroaches reproduce quickly and can spread bacteria, contaminate food, and trigger allergies.

At Empyrean Pest Management, we provide safe, effective cockroach control designed to eliminate infestations at the source — not just the roaches you see.

What Are Cockroaches?

Cockroaches are resilient, fast-breeding insects that thrive in warm environments. In the Sacramento area, the most common species include:

• German cockroaches (most common indoor infestation)
• American cockroaches (larger, often found in garages or sewers)
• Oriental cockroaches
• Brown-banded cockroaches

German cockroaches are especially problematic because they multiply rapidly and hide in tight spaces such as cabinets, behind appliances, and inside walls.

Cockroaches are known to carry bacteria and pathogens that can contaminate food preparation areas.

Signs You Have a Cockroach Infestation

You may have a roach infestation if you notice:

• Live cockroaches, especially at night
• Small, dark droppings resembling coffee grounds
• Egg casings (oval-shaped capsules)
• Musty or oily odor in cabinets or kitchens
• Smear marks along walls or baseboards
• Roaches scattering when lights turn on

If you see cockroaches during the day, the infestation may already be significant.

What To Do While Waiting for a Technician

If you suspect cockroaches in your home:

• Avoid spraying over-the-counter products directly (this can scatter the infestation)
• Keep kitchen areas clean and dry
• Store food in airtight containers
• Take trash out regularly
• Fix plumbing leaks if possible
• Avoid moving appliances or disturbing nesting areas

Do not use foggers or “bug bombs.” These often drive cockroaches deeper into walls and can make professional treatment more difficult.

If anyone in your household has asthma or respiratory sensitivity, limit exposure to affected areas until treatment is completed.
