Cockroach Control in Grand Rapids
Effective Cockroach Removal in West Michigan & Northeast Indiana
Sales of roach pesticides were over 514 million dollars in 2020 and were expected to be almost 700 million dollars by 2026. The unfortunate truth is that because of the speed at which roaches reproduce, many over-the-counter pesticides become obsolete quickly as the bugs develop immunity. Foggers or bombs may kill the roaches they touch, but rarely reach the places they like to hide, and even push them further into hiding. The result is better-prepared bugs and a toxic residue on countertops, furniture, and floors.
If you spot these critters in your home, the best course of action is to seek treatment from a professional pest control company like Fortified Pest Defense. With years of experience handling cockroach infestations in residential and commercial properties, you can count on us to get the job done right the first time.

Why Cockroaches Often Hide in Confined Spaces
There is more to the tight places they hide than just trying to evade our eradication attempts. They are thigmotropic, which means they like to feel something solid touching them, even surrounding them. That is also why they congregate in large groups. Because they are social, individuals who try to live solitary often become ill.
The Negative Health Effects of a Cockroach Infestation
Their effect on us is much greater than just being creeped out. A study called the Psychological Consequences of Infestation of the Dwelling Unit showed that infestations caused anxiety, insomnia, depression, and increased hostility.
Physically, they threaten us with the diseases they can spread, including Salmonella, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus. Their shed skins can also cause some allergic reactions, resulting in rashes and shortness of breath. Because they eat just about anything, it is common for them to spread pathogens onto our food, which could result in food poisoning.
Our recurring service plan keeps pests away with treatments every season. Learn how we keep your home and family safe.
