Cockroach control in the San Fernando Valley
Cockroach control is a patience game, not a single spray. We use targeted dust in cracks and voids where roaches actually hide, EPA registered products applied to label for active populations, and a real follow up visit to confirm the job held, because one treatment rarely finishes a roach problem on its own.

- 101
Inspect and identify harborage
We find where roaches are actually hiding, cracks, voids, under appliances and behind cabinets, instead of treating only the spots where you have seen one.
- 202
Dust and treat
We work targeted dust into cracks and crevices and apply EPA registered insecticide to label, matching the treatment to the level of activity we find.
- 303
Follow up and confirm
We come back to check the same harborage areas and confirm the population is actually gone, not just quiet for a week, and treat again free if it is not.
What we use, and where
Roach treatment uses targeted dust in cracks and voids plus EPA registered insecticides applied to label, placed where roaches travel rather than sprayed openly around the kitchen. We keep pets and kids out of treated cabinets and baseboards until the product has dried or settled, and we will tell you exactly which areas to avoid.

What roaches customers say
They helped us with a protracted roach problem. The owner took the time to talk through the issue with us for a long time. He was the only company that said we didn't need to get on a multi year contract. They ended up coming three times and I haven't seen new roaches for months. Thank you for your excellent customer service and thoroughness.
This review is long overdue. Facility is simply the best local company out there. It took me years to find a reliable, effective and cost efficient company that was easy to deal with any time I needed something extra. Sam, the owner, cares so much about all his clients and makes sure that each is taken care of. Don't look any further for your next pest control company.
Facility Pest Control responded to me quickly, gave me an estimate, and offered a fair price. The technician who came out was great to work with, communicated what he would be doing, and accommodated our requests to focus on certain problem areas. The spraying so far seems very effective.
Roaches questions, answered
How can I tell if I have a cockroach problem?
Look for roaches at night when they are most active, dark, pepper like droppings near food, an oily or musty smell, and small shed skins near hiding spots. If you are seeing any of this, it is worth an inspection before it grows into a bigger population.
What is your approach to cockroach control?
We find where roaches are hiding, dust cracks and voids where sprays cannot reach, and apply EPA registered insecticide to label for active areas. Then we come back for a follow up inspection, because roaches almost always need more than one visit to fully clear out.
Are your cockroach treatments safe for my family and pets?
Yes. Dust and EPA registered products go into cracks, voids and baseboards rather than open surfaces, and we tell you which cabinets or areas to keep clear until the treatment has settled. It is built to hit roaches where they hide, not your kitchen counter.
How can I help prevent roaches from coming back?
Seal cracks around pipes and the foundation where you can, store food in sealed containers, and clean up crumbs and pet food promptly. We handle the harder to reach entry points and hiding spots as part of the service.
How do I know if the treatment actually worked?
We schedule a follow up inspection to check the same harborage areas for activity, droppings or shed skins. If you are still seeing roaches within 30 days of service, we come back and re treat the problem areas at no charge.
Will one visit get rid of my roach problem?
Sometimes, especially for a small, contained problem, and we will say so upfront if that is the case. Larger or longer standing infestations usually need a dust treatment plus at least one follow up to fully break the cycle.
How fast can you get someone out for roaches?
Call and Katie will tell you when we can be there, and we understand a roach problem does not feel like it can wait. Tell us how bad it is when you call and we will get a technician out as soon as we can.

Cockroaches are silent infestors. They have an uncanny ability to seek out hidden crawl spaces that you wouldn’t think are in your home. By the time that you notice them, you may already be dealing with a full-blown catastrophe.
How do you prevent this from happening? While cockroaches can survive a nuclear bomb, it can’t live through a comprehensive pest treatment plan that includes the following:
Targeted Dust Treatments:
Using specialized dust and powder is crucial to weeding out the hiding places of cockroaches. These unique pesticides are capable of penetrating the tightest of corners, including minor cracks and carpeting.
Strategic Insecticide Use:
We employ EPA-approved insecticides following all safety guidelines for effective roach control.
Thorough follow-up inspections:
Our team meticulously monitors individual situations. This is the only way to guarantee the control of the cockroach population and prevent them from coming back.

When Do You Need Cockroach Control?
Don’t wait for an infestation to take hold – proactive measures are essential to keeping cockroaches at bay!
Don’t let these pests take over your home by getting ahead of the curve. Here’s how we can help you achieve a lasting cockroach-free home:
- Sealing Entry Points: Our experienced technicians conduct thorough inspections to identify potential entry points, such as cracks in foundations and gaps around pipes. We’ll also look into plumbing issues such as leaking sewage pipes. Those small crevices might not affect your plumbing but they’re large enough to let these critters in and out right under your nose.
- Habitat Alteration: The best way to keep cockroaches out is to not give them a reason to go inside in the first place. Potential food sources like food debris, pet food remnants, and even firewood, can all harbor cockroaches and other types of pests. Your home becomes a breeding ground for tiny menaces if you make it attractive in their eyes.
Implementing these methods significantly reduces the risk of an infestation and the occasional encounter whenever you open your drawers.
This is how you can keep your home safe and free from cockroaches.
How to Recognize Cockroach Infestations
You may be able to see cockroaches with your eyes but that doesn’t mean you’ll notice every sign they leave that they’re about to take over your home. But, that’s also what we’re here to help with. Here’s how to identify these unwelcome guests before their population explodes:
Visual sightings:
Keep an eye out for cockroaches themselves, particularly at night when they’re most active. Look for them scurrying across floors, hiding in dark corners and inside drawers or cabinets, and gathering close to food and water sources.
Signs of Feeding:
Look for evidence of cockroach activity, such as bloodstains on bedding (from bites), or frass (cockroach droppings) resembling dark specks or smears near food sources or hiding spots.
Unusual odors:
A strong, oily, or musty smell can be a telltale sign of a large cockroach infestation.
Molted Shells:
As cockroaches grow, they shed their outer shell, leaving behind a translucent brown husk near their hiding spots.
Property Damage:
Cockroaches may chew on various materials, including food packaging, books, and even wallpaper.
These are the kinds of signs that you watch out for like a hawk. This way, you can catch cockroaches early before they settle in your homes. Paired with a proactive approach, you won’t have to worry about cockroaches becoming a bigger and harder issue to deal with.
