Whether you're dealing with a few roaches in the kitchen or a full-blown cockroach infestation, we act fast to eliminate the problem and prevent it from returning. We use targeted treatments like baits and insect growth regulators to eliminate current populations and stop future breeding. It’s also important to note that we use environmentally friendly methods to get rid of roaches without harming your family or pets.

Extermination of All Types of Cockroaches Found in Kansas City

Kansas City homes and businesses often face multiple roach species. Our expert team knows the unique local environment for cockroaches and is trained to identify and eliminate them all:

German Cockroach


The most common indoor pest, reproduces rapidly and thrives in kitchens.


American Cockroach


Large reddish-brown roaches are often found in basements and sewer systems.


Oriental Cockroach


Prefers cool, damp environments like crawl spaces and drains.


Brown-Banded Cockroach


Smaller and more elusive, often found in dry, high areas like closets.


Smokybrown Cockroach


Attracted to light and moisture, it usually enters from outdoors.


Each species requires a slightly different treatment strategy, and we know how to handle them all, making your home or business pest-free!

Environment-Friendly Methods

At Cole Pest Control, we believe that effective pest control doesn’t have to come at the expense of your health or the environment. That’s why our cockroach treatments use targeted, eco-conscious solutions that are safe for families, pets, and the planet. Here are a couple of our methods to eliminate infestations using environmentally friendly techniques:

1. Gel Bait with Low-Toxicity Insecticides

  • What It Is: Discreet, odorless gel placed in roach hotspots like under sinks, behind appliances, and inside cabinets.
  • Eco-Friendly: Uses minimal active ingredients like Indoxacarb or Fipronil to target roaches directly.
  • Why It Works: Roaches consume the bait, return to their nests, and die—spreading the toxin to other roaches via the "domino effect."


2. Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs)

  • What It Is: Products like Hydroprene and Pyriproxyfen disrupt the life cycle by preventing egg hatching and larval development.
  • Eco-Friendly: Non-toxic to humans and pets; leaves no chemical residue.
  • Why It Works: Breaks the breeding cycle to stop long-term infestations, especially in environments where roaches reproduce rapidly.




Our Cockroach Extermination Process

We take a structured, step-by-step approach to ensure complete elimination of cockroaches while minimizing disruption to your home or business. Our four-phase process ensures no detail is overlooked and delivers long-lasting protection.


Step 1: Cockroach Pest Inspection

Every treatment begins with a thorough inspection. Our trained technicians examine cracks, corners, and entry points to assess the level of infestation and identify hiding spots.


Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan

No two roach infestations are alike. Based on our inspection, we create a strategic plan using eco-friendly gels, IGRs, and targeted treatments to eliminate your specific issue.


Step 3: Implementation & Prevention

We apply the treatment using precision tools and recommend exclusion methods such as sealing entry points and reducing moisture sources to prevent reinfestation.


Step 4: Follow-Up

We don’t stop after one visit. Our team provides follow-up checks to ensure full elimination and adjusts your treatment plan as needed. Our goal is total peace of mind.
