There are a lot of big names in the Troutdale pest control industry. Here are a few reasons why it makes sense to go with a local pest control company like OIRC over the national brands

What Sets Us Apart

in the Troutdale cockroach control services industry

Integrity

It would be easy to fool someone when delivering cockroach control services. Traps, bait, and sprays are often not visible to the consumer, and even if that’s not the case it can be difficult to be sure how well-laid they truly are. Beyond that, excuses for why initial attempts fail are easy to find, drawing property owners into spending more money to follow the advice of the “experts” who aren’t doing their job right. At Oregon Insect and Rodent Control, we only use brand-name products, and we use them according to their specifications for maximum effectiveness. We don’t cut any corners in our care for customers.

Honesty

Needless upselling is common practice by the giants of the pest control industry. Our founder Glenn experienced it firsthand, and it’s the major reason why he left to start his own company. We only sell products and services that we are confident are really going to be helpful. But we don’t expect you to simply take our word for it – we operate with as much transparency as possible so you can be assured that we are trustworthy. Our goal is to establish long-term relationships of trust with our customers, not get them to open their wallets out of desperation.

Education

Our process of pest control is more than laying bait and leaving. If we see a way that you can prevent pest problems from reoccurring or even handle your pest control problem on your own, we let you know, even when it means we won’t be able to charge as much. Education is a key part of the integrated pest management (IPM) approach, through which we can achieve better results in a more environmentally friendly way, as you can read about next.

Care for the Environment

At Oregon Insect and Rodent Control, we realize that this is the environment we will pass down to our kids. We live and work in Oregon, and have no national corporate protocol to inhibit our doing what’s right for the place in which we live. Our policy is to deal with your pest control problem using minimal chemicals, applied strategically for greatest results. The indoor environment matters, too. Where some companies will force you to watch out for your own welfare as they spray, we let you know the risks and take steps to minimize your family’s exposure to substances which might not be good for them.

Relationships

Our favorite thing about this industry is the relationships we form with customers as we help solve their pest management problems. If our customers need us again, we want to be the ones who come first to mind as the pest control experts to call. For those who experience regular invasions or want to prevent an incursion before it happens, we are happy to provide quarterly or bi-annual services. Note that we don’t do monthly service plans like a lot of the other guys – we find that charging for those extra visits isn’t necessary when we use pest control products according to their own recommendations

Experience

With over 18 years’ experience operating as an independent Troutdale cockroach control company, we’ve seen it all and know the products and methods to apply in order to effectively and quickly manage most any pest problem you might be experiencing.

Troutdale Cockroach Control Service

Cockroaches are one of the hardiest species on planet earth – scientists believe they have been around since the time T. Rex walked the earth. Not only have they survived, they have thrived in a wide variety of conditions, particularly those habitats that are warm and wet. No wonder they’re so difficult to get rid of. With over 4600 known species, cockroaches are related to termites biologically, but their behavior is different.

Like termites, cockroaches like to live together, but their colonies are not as organized. Roaches also do not rely on being close to wood. If they have a nice, warm, moist, and dark place to be within an antenna’s length of food and some other roaches nearby, they can be happy.
Tap or Click to View Cockroach Characteristics and Descriptions
Characteristic Description
Color A shade of brown to black
Length Adults can range from 1.5 to 2 inches
Appearance Long antennae, single oval shaped body
Colony Size 25 and more, though we hope not to find them in colonies
Breeding Female American cockroaches can produce up to 150 young over the course of her life
Where they live Roaches prefer to have a dark, moist environment to hide and breed. Cupboards, behind refrigerators, and under sinks and drains are favorites.
Food Source Decaying plants, dead wood, waste and sewage
Behavior Notes They are social insects related to termites, though cockroach relationships are not as structured as in a termite colony.
Signs of presence A bad smell lingers where roaches are present. Brown/black cylindrical droppings approximately 1/8 inches long will be found near their nesting grounds. Homeowners may also find shed cockroach skins in the vicinity.
Risks Bacterial diseases such as salmonella can be spread by cockroaches, especially if they get into food stores. All the more reason to eradicate them quickly.
Cockroach extermination in the long run involves adjusting the environment, not giving them the dark and especially not the moisture that they are looking for, and maintaining sanitary conditions that eliminate their food sources. In the meantime, traps, bait, and spray installed by a professional cockroach exterminator can reduce their populations and erect barriers for their reentry.

cockroach Control Tips from
Oregon Insect and Rodent Control

What are some ways to reduce the risk of developing cockroach control problems?
  1. Keep them homeless
    Reduce the available habitat within your home or place of business where a pest might want to set up a home of their own. This means keeping things clean and free especially of food particles.
  2. Seal cracks and crevices
    Pests come in from the outside environment, meaning you can reduce the chances of their taking up residence in your home by sealing up cracks and crevices, particularly around your foundation, eaves, doors, and windows.
  3. Clean up
    Get rid of stacks of newspaper, miscellaneous papers, bags, cardboard boxes, and other material which a pest might use to make a good home or nest. Wipe up spills and crumbs right away, and don’t leave dirty dishes lying around.
  4. Keep a lid on it
    Keep a tight lid on trashcans and empty them often, especially if you are throwing away fragrant or sweet things. When storing food in your pantry and cabinets, store it in tightly sealed containers.
  5. Keep the space dry
    Indoor pests often thrive on moisture. Keep them from getting the water they’re looking for by fixing leaks and not leaving dishwater in the sink overnight.
Can you help if I have a pest problem in my crawlspace?
We are able to perform crawlspace restoration at a reasonable price. If you’ve been quoted a price by one of the big pest control companies, make sure you talk to us before you sign anything, as they tend to charge quite a bit to get into those hard-to-reach places.
What products do you use?
We use a variety of excellent brand-name products which we have tested over the course of our 18 years in business, and we use them at label strength. We never use generic products that produce uncertain results.
Do you perform emergency services?
We can give you emergency advice and often get out to help you with your pest control problem within a day or two. Give us a call to set something up as soon as possible.
Do you have monthly service plans?

There are two reasons some cockroach control companies have monthly service plans: a desire for a larger stream of income and the use of diluted or insufficient products. We find that when we do our job right, the most we need to visit one of our clients is once a quarter or bi-annually in the spring and fall.

Are your traps humane?

We do what it takes to remove pest control problems, and often that means killing them. Our traps do seek to cause minimal pain to pests as they dispatch them.

Additional tips for cockroach control inside and outside the home
