Do roach bombs actually work?

Western Answers

I’m seeing more and more roaches in my house, and I want them gone. Do roach bombs actually work?

Roach bombs look like a quick fix as they can be bought from the store and are relatively inexpensive compared to professional treatment. But are bug bombs effective? It depends on the size of the infestation, but they likely won’t eliminate an infestation. Roaches hide in cracks, crevices, in drains, and under appliances. Foggers are unlikely to reach all of these spaces, if any, as they are designed to cover surfaces and may not penetrate cracks and crevices. 

For a more reliable and long-term approach, rely on Western Exterminator. Our technicians look for activity, trace the pathways roaches use, and treat the areas where they are most likely to be. This may include professional fumigation, which is designed to penetrate spaces where roaches hide.   Our cockroach treatment plans are built around solving the root issue, eliminating the infestation, and preventing roaches from returning.
