Our experts take a proven approach to cockroach control:
Your technician will identify exactly what type of pest problem you have, the size of the problem, and where they’re coming from. In Boston, we see different types of cockroaches, and each one is treated a little differently.
Your technician will perform a thorough inspection to determine the level of cockroach activity and the extent of any damage. Structural issues such as moisture problems will need to be addressed to keep cockroaches from coming back.
GreenHow recommends different treatments based on your unique needs. Our recommendations are designed to fully eliminate the problem and may require more than one treatment.
After the final treatment, your technician will conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure the problem is eliminated. We also recommend ongoing maintenance and prevention to keep your property pest-free.
Homes and businesses provide great hiding places for cockroaches. Cockroaches love damp places, especially if those places are also dark.
GreenHow Pest Control effectively tackles Boston’s diverse array of cockroach species, employing targeted strategies to eradicate common varieties and ensure comprehensive pest management in your home or business.
American cockroaches are among the largest household roaches. They’re reddish-brown in color and are common throughout Boston. Other names include the palmetto bug and water bug.
The most common cockroach species, the German cockroach has two dark parallel bands running down its back. It’s also called the croton bug.
This smaller species of cockroach is recognized by its two light-brown bands across its abdomen and wings. They are commonly found in kitchens and can reproduce quickly.
These dark-colored cockroaches live in damp places, such as sewers and basements. They’re known to infest homes and businesses and can be difficult to get rid of.
Beginning cockroach removal at the first signs of intrusion is imperative. Cockroaches carry many diseases, fungi, viruses, and allergens that could impact your health. Cockroaches can also produce as many as 200-300 offspring per year, which can make cockroach removal more difficult the longer you wait.
GreenHow helps you keep your home pest-free with ongoing prevention before an infestation begins. Choose from monthly, bi-monthly- or quarterly cockroach prevention plans and reduce any chance encounters with this common pest.

Cockroaches can enter your home through tiny openings or attach themselves to your clothing, suitcase, or backpack. If they find food, water, and shelter, they’ll stick around for a while. Making your home inhospitable to cockroaches can help you get rid of them.
Aside from seeing cockroaches, you might notice small droppings that look like pepper flakes, foul smells, shed skins, or brown smear marks where the walls meet the floors.
Storing your food in airtight containers, cleaning your home, sealing any holes or cracks, and removing hiding places within your home are all effective cockroach preventatives.
