COCKROACH CONTROL • BLYTHEWOOD, SC
Not All Roaches Mean
the Same Thing.
German Roaches Need Elimination.
Large Outdoor Roaches Need Protection.
Seeing one large roach in the bathroom is very different from seeing small German roaches throughout the kitchen. Pestora starts by identifying what you’re dealing with, then builds the treatment around the species, infestation level, and where they’re living.

Which One Are You Seeing?
Different roaches. Different problems. Let’s get you to the right solution.
Small Roaches
(German Roaches)
Usually concentrated in kitchens or bathrooms, but heavy infestations can spread throughout the home.
Large Roaches
(Palmetto-Bug Type)
Often seen occasionally indoors but commonly associated with outdoor or moisture-prone areas.
The Problem Isn’t Just
the Roaches You See.
The majority of a German-roach infestation can stay hidden while only a fraction of the population is visible. They hide behind appliances, inside cabinets, in wall voids, and in other protected places.
Seeing Them During the Day?
Daytime activity can be a warning sign that population pressure is high enough that hidden harborages are crowded.
Most of the population stays out of sight.
- Behind the refrigerator
- Inside cabinets
- In wall voids
- In appliances
- Cracks & crevices
We Start Where German Roaches Like to Hide.
Our inspection helps us understand the extent of the infestation and where the population is living.
Behind the Refrigerator
A high-value inspection area because of warmth, food debris, moisture, and shelter.
Cabinets & Kitchen Voids
We look for live activity, hiding areas, droppings, and signs the population has spread.
Pepper-Like Droppings
Evidence around cabinets, appliances, or cracks can help show how established the infestation may be.
Other Rooms
If activity has spread beyond the kitchen, the treatment expands with it.
The inspection tells us whether we’re dealing with a light kitchen infestation or a population that has spread into multiple rooms.
A Slow Kill Can Create
a More Complete Kill.
German roach treatment is not about knocking down the first insects you see. Pestora uses a multi-layered approach designed to reach the hidden population.
1. Non-Repellent Treatment
A professional non-repellent approach is used in key areas around appliances, baseboards, cracks, and active harborages. The goal isn’t instant knockdown. The goal is transfer.
2. Strategic Baiting
Professional bait is applied in cabinets and activity areas so feeding roaches can carry treatment back into the population.
3. IGR / Reproductive Control
Insect growth regulators are incorporated into the treatment strategy to disrupt the population’s ability to continue reproducing normally.
4. Long-Lasting Void Treatment
Dry treatment can be placed into appropriate voids and protected hiding areas where roaches may remain shielded from normal surface treatment.
Treat One. Reach More.
German-roach control works best when treatment reaches beyond the individual insects you can see.
Heavy Infestation?
We Change the Plan.
- Physical Removal When populations are very high, Pestora may use vacuuming or mechanical removal to reduce live roaches immediately.
- More Bait Severe infestations may require significantly more bait placement.
- More Rooms Treated Treatment expands into every area where activity is found.
We treat the infestation you have — not the package someone sold you.
Don’t Empty Your Cabinets.
Pestora German Roach Treatment Requires No Major Prep.
You don’t need to spend hours emptying drawers, bagging up your kitchen, or turning your home upside down before we arrive. Pestora designs the treatment around the home as it is.
- No cabinet clean-out
- No bagging your kitchen
- No pre-treatment spraying
German Roach Elimination Program
$250
One price. We keep treating until the infestation is eliminated.
- Initial comprehensive treatment
- Follow-up approximately 2 weeks later
- Additional covered treatment if needed
- No monthly German-roach contract required
- 6-month warranty
Two thorough treatments are typical, but the program covers additional treatment if needed under the terms of the service agreement.
Don’t Pay Every Month to Keep Treating the Same Infestation.
Pestora’s goal is elimination — not keeping German roaches on an endless monthly treatment schedule.
What Should You Expect After Treatment?
Day 1
Treatment begins working throughout active areas.
Around Day 3
Most customers should notice a major drop in visible activity.
Around Week 1
Pestora checks in to make sure activity is trending in the right direction.
Around Week 2
Scheduled follow-up treatment.
Severe infestations can take longer, but your German Roach Elimination Program is not priced by the number of covered treatments required.
Seeing One Big Roach Is a Different Problem.
Large roaches are much more commonly associated with outdoor or moisture-prone environments than German roaches. When they wander indoors, Pestora focuses on reducing the pest pressure around the structure.
Interior Treatment
Address activity that has already made it inside.
Exterior Residual
Protect likely entry points and the perimeter.
Granular Protection
Exterior granular treatment or bait can help reduce large-roach populations before they enter.
German Roach or Large Outdoor Roach?
German Roach
- Small
- Tan or light brown
- Often seen in kitchens, cabinets, and appliances
- Multiple sightings are common
- Reproduces indoors
One can be enough to warrant a closer look.
Large Outdoor Roach
- Much larger
- Often darker brown or reddish
- Associated with garages, bathrooms, crawlspaces, or outside
- Usually occasional indoor sightings
- Often linked to moisture-prone environments
One large roach does not automatically mean an indoor infestation.
German Roaches Are Not a Judgment on Your Home.
German roaches can be introduced through belongings, appliances, boxes, visitors, neighboring units, and everyday situations. Once they’re established, they reproduce quickly and become difficult to eliminate without professional treatment.
You don’t need to be embarrassed.
You need a treatment plan.
If German Roaches Return, Call Us.
Pestora’s German Roach Elimination Program is backed by a six-month warranty under the terms of your service agreement.
