Why You Have Roaches

Food, clutter, and hidden hitchhikers.

Organic matter and food

Crumbs, grease, trash, pet waste, even cardboard and book glue all feed roaches and keep them around.

Clutter and humidity

Cluttered, damp spaces give roaches the breeding spots they love, including overwatered potted plants.

Travel and shared walls

Roaches hitch in on luggage and appliances, and in apartments they spread through shared walls and plumbing.

How RAYMAX Treats Roaches

Find the source, not just the runners.

01

Inspect and identify

We confirm the roach species and find the harborage areas, entry points, and conditions feeding the problem.

02

Build a plan

A targeted plan based on your situation, whether you're in a single home or a shared building with more to manage.

03

Treat the harborage

Pet-safe and family-safe products placed where roaches hide and breed, reaching the spots sprays and bombs miss.

04

Follow up and protect

Roaches are persistent. We follow up to confirm they're gone, and if they return between visits, so do we, at no extra cost.

Know the Signs

Think you have a roach problem?

Roaches scattering when you turn on a light at night
Small dark droppings that look like pepper or coffee grounds
A musty, oily odor in cabinets, behind appliances, or under sinks
Egg casings or shed skins in dark, warm crevices

Seeing roaches in the daytime usually means a large population. Call a RAYMAX Specialist at 800-893-1124.

Why Do I Have Roaches?

What feeds them, and why DIY often fails.

Roaches are one of the toughest pests to fully eradicate. Tap any topic to learn more.

Organic matter and food+

Roaches are attracted to all kinds of organic matter: human food, trash, and pet waste, plus harder-to-clean sources like grease and food residue on appliances. They'll chew through unsealed packages in the pantry, and even feed on unexpected sources like the binding glue in books and cardboard.

Try this: Deep clean your kitchen and appliances to remove as many food sources as possible and reduce the population.
Clutter and humidity+

Roaches thrive when a home is heavily cluttered or unsanitary, since that gives them plenty of breeding areas. Plants themselves usually aren't the issue, but moist soil and organic material in pots can attract them, especially if you overwater and create humidity.

Try this: Deep clean your home. Clear out cabinets and bathrooms and throw away any unnecessary items that create hiding spots.
Travel, appliances, and shared walls+

Roaches enter through travel, appliances, and shared spaces. They hitch a ride in luggage or bags from infested hotels and public areas, hide in the warm crevices of used or even new appliances, and in apartments they travel through shared walls, plumbing, and vents from one unit to the next, even if your space is clean.

Try this: Check your appliances, luggage, and anything recently brought into the home, then deep clean it or throw it out.
Can I do it myself?+

It depends. Do you live in a house or a shared building? In a house, if you can remove all food sources, deep clean every surface, discard harborage material, and keep sanitary conditions for at least two months, you might be okay. In a shared building, fully eradicating roaches on your own is next to impossible, especially if neighbors don't do their part. Your best bet is a free inspection so an expert can tell you what to expect.

Don't fall for the loop of buying sprays or bombs. Some people spend up to 4x the cost of a one-time professional spray trying to DIY the problem for months.
When to call a professional+

If you've spent more than $100 trying to DIY, you've already spent too much. Large or recurring infestations usually mean roaches have been thriving unseen for a while. For prevention, a recurring plan protects you year-round, or a strategic one-time spray every 4 to 6 months keeps them at bay. A professional can tell you why, when, and how they're getting in, and solve it in one coordinated effort.

In a shared building? Coordinated professional treatment is the only reliable way to keep roaches out when they can travel between units.
Common Questions

Answers before you even ask.

Why do roaches keep coming back after I spray?+
Sprays and bombs kill the roaches you see but miss the egg casings and harborage areas where the population actually lives. Until those hidden spots are treated, the next generation hatches and the cycle restarts.
I keep my home clean, so why do I have roaches?+
In apartments and shared buildings, roaches travel through walls, plumbing, and vents from other units, so a spotless home can still get them. That's exactly why coordinated, professional treatment matters in shared housing.
Are treatments safe for my family and pets?+
Yes. We use pet-safe and family-safe products and place them precisely where roaches hide. Your technician will explain any short-term precautions before they leave.
Should I do a one-time treatment or the monthly plan?+
Roaches are persistent and prone to returning, so many customers choose the monthly plan for year-round protection. We'll recommend what fits your situation and never push something you don't need.
