Signs You May Have Roaches

Here are the common clues that roaches have moved in.

Roaches scurrying out after dark near sinks, pipes and appliances

Tiny dark specks that look like ground pepper or used coffee grounds in cabinets and along baseboards

Egg capsules (oothecae) tucked into cabinet corners, beneath appliances or behind furniture

A stale, oily smell in busy hiding areas, most often with German cockroaches

Molted skins in pantries, drawers and storage spaces

Roaches coming up through drains around monsoon storms or other heavy rain

If any of this sounds familiar, call (602) 944-0099 and we will schedule an inspection.

Why Prompt Roach Control Matters

Allergens from roach saliva, droppings and cast skins can aggravate asthma and allergies, particularly in children. Roaches also move between drains, trash and the surfaces where you prepare food, picking up germs along the way. Dealing with them early keeps your kitchen cleaner and gives your family fewer reasons to worry about food safety and indoor air.
German cockroaches breed indoors, which lets a handful of roaches grow into a large population within months. A female carries an egg case holding 30 to 40 eggs. American cockroaches, the so-called sewer roaches, tend to move toward homes when heavy monsoon rain floods sewer lines. Steady, consistent treatment keeps either species from settling in.

Roach Control for Goodyear and Estrella Homes

Goodyear is largely a city of single-family living: 40,519 of its 48,640 housing units are single-family detached homes, and 5,979 more are in buildings with 50 or more units (ACS 2024 1-year estimate). We tailor each plan to the property, whether that means yard-side meter boxes and planters or shared walls in a larger building. Our service reaches Estrella villages such as Montecito, Mountain Ranch and Lucero, plus CantaMia at Estrella and PebbleCreek.
Estrella Mountain Regional Park in Goodyear (14805 W. Vineyard Ave.) covers 19,840 acres near the meeting of the Gila and Agua Fria Rivers, and its seasonal riparian areas fill with water during winter and monsoon rains. Because roaches go where moisture is, we check drains, irrigation spots and plumbing gaps, then recommend sealing entry points with door sweeps and sealants. Call (602) 944-0099 to book a visit, and ask about same-day service.

Our Roach Treatment Process

Step 1
Inspection and Species Identification
Each species needs its own plan. Our licensed technicians identify the roach, find its hiding spots and judge how far the problem has spread.
Step 2
Targeted Treatment
We apply baits in gel form, dust, and crack and crevice treatments to the spots where roaches shelter, such as plumbing chases, wall voids, cabinet backs and the space beneath appliances.
Step 3
Exterior Perimeter Treatment
Door thresholds, plumbing penetrations, weep holes and the foundation line get treated so sewer roaches have a harder time getting in.
Step 4
Entry Point Recommendations
We look for the cracks and openings roaches use to get inside, then recommend sealing them to cut down on repeat visitors.
Step 5
Monthly Maintenance
Monthly service keeps your protective barrier up all year, backed by a 21-day warranty: if roaches return, we do too.

Cockroach Species Goodyear Homeowners Encounter

German Cockroach
Blattella germanica
German cockroaches are small and light brown, about half an inch, with two dark bands running behind the head. They are the top indoor roach in Arizona and live their whole lives inside, around moisture and food in kitchens and bathrooms. Each female can end up with hundreds of descendants.

American Cockroach
Periplaneta americana
Big and reddish brown at 1.5 to 2 inches, American cockroaches are also called sewer roaches or water bugs. They live in sewer lines and come inside through weep holes, plumbing gaps and cracked foundations, getting busier during monsoon season.
Close-up of a Turkestan cockroach on wood
Turkestan Cockroach
Shelfordella lateralis
Turkestan cockroaches are about 1 inch long. Reddish tan males carry pale stripes along their sides, and females are dark brown to black. They are becoming more common as they push out the Oriental cockroach. Outdoors, they hide in leaf litter, compost piles, planters and utility meter boxes. They find their way in through cracks and gaps, and males are drawn to lights after dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of cockroaches are found around Goodyear?
University of Arizona Extension notes that Arizona has at least 20 cockroach species. Those established as pests in urban areas include American, brown-banded, German, Oriental, Surinam and Turkestan cockroaches. A City Wide technician identifies which one you have, because the right treatment depends on the species and where it hides.
Often, yes. Goodyear has 40,519 single-family detached homes among its 48,640 housing units, plus 5,979 units in buildings with 50 or more units (ACS 2024 1-year estimate). Houses call for attention to exterior entry points, while shared-wall buildings may need a plan that looks at plumbing chases and neighboring units. We shape the treatment to the property.
Estrella Mountain Regional Park covers 19,840 acres near the meeting of the Gila and Agua Fria Rivers, and its seasonal riparian areas fill with water during winter and monsoon rains. Roaches look for moisture, so wet weather is a good time to check drains, irrigation and plumbing gaps at home. We can inspect those spots during a visit.
UA Extension notes that a quarter-inch gap lets young mice into a structure and a half-inch gap admits young rats, and it recommends door sweeps and sealants as pest-proofing. The same habit helps with roaches, which fit through even smaller cracks. Seal gaps around pipes, doors and the foundation, and we will point out openings during your inspection.
Yes. Droppings from smaller roaches such as German cockroaches look like ground black pepper or coffee grounds, and you may find them along baseboards, inside cabinets and under appliances. Larger roaches leave bigger, cylinder-shaped pellets. Finding droppings in several spots usually means roaches are living nearby, which is a good reason to have a technician take a look.
Smear marks are irregular brown or dark streaks, often seen on walls, baseboards and corners where moisture is present. They form when roaches travel the same route again and again, usually near sinks and drains. If you spot them along with droppings or egg cases, call (602) 944-0099 to schedule an inspection.
