If You’re Seeing One, There May Be More
A single cockroach can be a sign of hidden activity nearby. Roaches are drawn to food, moisture and shelter, and they can squeeze into small spaces that are difficult to reach with household sprays and traps.
Mango Mango Pest Pro starts by identifying the cockroach species, finding where activity is concentrated and looking for the conditions supporting it. From there, we build a targeted treatment plan designed to control the current problem and help make your property less inviting to future activity.
Common Cockroaches in Central Texas
German Cockroaches
German cockroaches are small, light brown roaches commonly found in kitchens, bathrooms and other areas where food and moisture are easy to find. They reproduce quickly and often hide around appliances, cabinets, plumbing and tight cracks.
American Cockroaches
Often called water bugs, American cockroaches are large, reddish-brown roaches that prefer warm, damp environments. They may enter through drains, plumbing openings, crawl spaces and gaps around the exterior of a structure.
Oriental Cockroaches
Oriental cockroaches are dark, shiny roaches commonly associated with cool, damp areas. They may show up around drains, crawl spaces, utility rooms and other places where moisture collects.
Smokybrown Cockroaches
Smokybrown cockroaches are frequently found outdoors around trees, gutters, woodpiles and landscaping. They can make their way indoors through rooflines, vents, windows and other openings, sometimes becoming active in attics and upper levels.
Florida Wood Cockroach
Often referred to as a palmetto bug.
HOW IT WORKS
An Effective Approach
To Cockroach Control
Inspect
We identify the species, locate hiding areas and look for the food, moisture and entry points helping cockroaches thrive.
Treat
Provide knockdown of population and interrupt breeding cycle for lasting results by forming a tailored treatment consisting of bait placement and long-acting residual dust or liquid treatments, based on inspection findings such as species and level of infestation.
Protect
We help identify entry points and contributing conditions so your property is less appealing to future cockroach activity. Regular maintenance is key to keeping bugs away.
Signs You May Have a Cockroach Problem
Why Do Cockroaches Keep Coming Back?
Cockroaches don’t need much to survive. Small amounts of food, moisture and shelter can keep them active while they remain hidden inside cracks, cabinets, appliances and wall voids. Egg cases can also stay concealed even after the roaches you see have been eliminated.
DIY sprays and traps may knock down visible activity without reaching the places where cockroaches are hiding. Professional control takes a broader approach—identifying the species, treating the areas they’re using and addressing the conditions that are helping the infestation continue.
