Cockroach Control

AK Pest Control provides professional cockroach control for homes, apartment buildings, rental properties, restaurants and businesses across Southwestern Ontario. Our work is led by a professional entomologist, so every job starts with a proper inspection and identification — then a treatment plan built around your property, not a one-size-fits-all spray.

German cockroaches are the most common cockroach problem in Ontario. They spread quickly through kitchens, appliances and wall voids, and they are hardest to clear in multi-unit buildings where they move between units. Early treatment matters: a small problem becomes a building-wide one fast.

How We Treat Cockroaches

We combine methods based on what the inspection finds:

  • Gel bait — applied to harbourages and activity areas where cockroaches feed and nest.
  • Insecticidal dust — into wall voids, cracks and other places sprays can’t reach.
  • Targeted spray — to activity areas and entry routes.
  • Actisol fogging — where roaches are nesting in cracks, crevices or behind drywall, we use Actisol fogging to flush them out before a targeted treatment.

Your inspector will explain which combination suits your property and the extent of the problem — and what preparation is needed before treatment day.

What to Expect

  1. Inspection — we identify the pest, the source, and the extent of the problem, including checking connected units and shared spaces where activity may be hiding.
  2. Plan and quote — you get a clear treatment plan and price before any work begins, plus preparation instructions for treatment day.
  3. Treatment — targeted treatment of harbourages and activity areas.
  4. Follow-up — scheduled follow-up visits and warranty support if activity continues.

Cockroaches in Apartments and Multi-Unit Buildings

Cockroaches move between units through walls, pipes and shared spaces, so treating one unit alone often isn’t enough. We work with property managers and landlords on multi-unit inspections and treatments, with written recommendations after inspection so managers can plan and budget with confidence.
