Cockroach Extermination

Fast, effective cockroach elimination for homes and businesses. We don't just kill roaches – we eliminate infestations completely.

Cockroach Infestations Are Serious

Cockroaches aren't just disgusting – they're dangerous. They spread bacteria, trigger asthma attacks, and contaminate food. Worse, if you see one roach, there are likely hundreds hiding in your walls.

At Matar Pest Control, we specialize in complete cockroach elimination. Our treatment targets roaches at every life stage – eggs, nymphs, and adults – so they don't come back.

🚨 Health Dangers of Cockroaches

  • Spread E. coli, Salmonella, and 30+ other bacteria
  • Trigger asthma attacks, especially in children
  • Cause allergic reactions from droppings and shed skins
  • Contaminate food and cooking surfaces
  • Carry parasitic worms and pathogens

Common Cockroaches in Northern Virginia

Small, light brown, found in kitchens and bathrooms. Reproduces rapidly – one female can produce 30,000 offspring per year. The most common indoor roach.

🏢 American Cockroach

Large (up to 2"), reddish-brown, often called "water bugs." Found in basements, drains, and commercial buildings. Can fly short distances.

🌳 Oriental Cockroach

  • Droppings that look like coffee grounds or black pepper
  • Musty, oily odor in kitchen or bathroom
  • Egg cases (oothecae) in hidden areas
