American cockroaches are active throughout the year, but they don’t tolerate cold temperatures very well. In North Jersey homes, they live in basements and sewers, the source of their access to the indoors. They are also found in crawl spaces, cracks and crevices of porches and foundations. When disturbed, American cockroaches run rapidly and may fly. They feed on a wide variety of plant and animal material.
The Oriental cockroach grows to a size of 1.25″ and has a one-year lifespan, during which the female can produce 150 offspring. Males have wings and will either run quickly or fly when disturbed; females, lacking wings, only run. Unlike others of their genus, Oriental cockroaches can not climb smooth surfaces. They remain indoors year-round, usually in cooler areas like basements and crawl-spaces.

What types of cockroaches are found in New Jersey homes?
The most common cockroaches in New Jersey are the German cockroach (most prevalent, thrives indoors), American cockroach (large, found in basements and sewers), Oriental cockroach (dark, prefers damp areas), and the brown-banded cockroach. German cockroaches are the hardest to eliminate and require professional treatment.
Are cockroaches dangerous to my health?
Yes. Cockroaches are significant health hazards. They spread bacteria including Salmonella and E. coli on food preparation surfaces, contaminate food, and their shed skins and droppings are a known trigger for asthma and allergies—especially in children. Professional extermination is a health necessity, not just a comfort issue.
Why do cockroaches keep coming back even after I treat them?
Most over-the-counter sprays only kill cockroaches on contact—they don’t eliminate the colony or its eggs. German cockroaches, in particular, can develop resistance to common pesticides. Professional treatment using gel baits, growth regulators, and residual products that target multiple life stages is essential for complete elimination.
How does PermaKill treat a cockroach infestation?
PermaKill conducts a thorough inspection to identify the species and all harborage areas. Treatment combines professional-grade gel baiting (highly effective for German cockroaches), residual insecticide applications to cracks and voids, insect growth regulators to disrupt breeding, and flush-out treatments where populations are dense.
How long does it take to get rid of a cockroach infestation?
With professional treatment, most infestations show significant improvement within 1–2 weeks. Complete elimination of a German cockroach infestation typically requires 2–3 treatments over 4–6 weeks due to egg hatch cycles. PermaKill schedules follow-up visits to ensure complete eradication.
How do cockroaches get into a clean home?
Cockroaches don’t only infest dirty homes. They enter via grocery bags, cardboard boxes, secondhand appliances, plumbing pipes, gaps around utility lines, and from neighboring apartments or units. Once inside, even a small food or moisture source is enough to support a colony.
Are cockroach treatments safe for my family and pets?
Yes. PermaKill’s gel baiting systems are placed in targeted areas (inside cabinets, under appliances, in wall voids) away from food preparation surfaces and out of reach of children and pets. Spot treatments may also be performed based on the level of infestation. When used according to label directions by licensed professionals, modern Pest Control Methods are safe for families, including children and pets.
What can I do to prevent cockroaches in my New Jersey home?
Eliminate food sources by storing all food in airtight containers and cleaning up crumbs immediately. Fix leaky pipes and reduce moisture. Seal gaps around plumbing, behind appliances, and in cabinet interiors. Avoid leaving cardboard boxes stored in kitchen or basement areas for extended periods.
Can cockroaches survive the New Jersey winter?
Yes. Indoor cockroaches—especially German cockroaches—thrive year-round in heated homes and are completely unaffected by outdoor temperatures. This is why cockroach infestations require professional year-round management rather than seasonal treatment.
