Fed Up with Roaches Crashing Uninvited? We Understand—And We Know Just What to Do.
There is nothing quite as bad as arriving home at night to your kitchen, turning on the light, and roaches running for cover. They're quick, dirty, and infuriating—and let's be real, after you've seen one, you can't really feel at ease in your own home. The reality is, if you can see them, they've been there longer than you can even imagine.
We've treated homeowners and businesses across Hanover at Bug Squashers of Maryland and eradicated cockroaches for good. Here's how we do it—from the first inspection to preventing them from coming back ever again.
Cockroaches prefer the darkest spots most people never even consider—beneath sinks, behind refrigerators, near plumbing, in pantries, and even in the tiniest crevices in walls. Our initial move is a thorough examination of all of those areas and more. We ensure we are aware of where they are coming from and how severe the problem is prior to treating.
Once we know where the roaches are hiding and how they're moving around, we go in with a good plan. That typically involves baits, dusts, gels, and specialized sprays depending on the case and severity. We don't cut corners—we treat entry points, hot spots, and hiding places to ensure we're not only killing the bugs we can see, but the ones still in the walls as well.
Most roach prevention is just a matter of understanding how they got in in the first place. We're going to guide you through the little things that can make a big difference—such as sealing cracks, sweeping crumbs off, repairing drips, and storing food in various ways. These are easy-to-follow suggestions, simple and straightforward.
Depending on the severity of the problem, we may recommend a return visit to eliminate any stragglers or roaches that hatched subsequent to our treatment. If the roaches return, so do we. It's that easy. You don't need to live with roaches, and you don't need to do it alone either.

It is not only repulsive, but may also be a health risk. If you have caught a cockroach scurrying in your kitchen or have a smell in your home, then you might have an infestation. Cockroaches are masters of hiding, but there are some signs that you can keep an eye out for that will enable you to catch a glimpse of them early on before the problem escalates.
The easiest indication of cockroach infestation is to actually see the creatures themselves. Cockroaches are nocturnal, which means that you would have a higher chance of seeing them at night scurrying around for food. If you only notice a single or two cockroaches during the day, then that is something to worry about. To spot them in your home is an indication that their populations are on the rise.
Cockroach droppings are another common sign of an infestation. These droppings look like tiny, dark specks and can be found in places where cockroaches hide, such as behind appliances, under sinks, and in cabinets. If you notice small piles of these droppings, it’s a strong indicator that you have more cockroaches in your home than you’ve seen.
Cockroaches produce a distinctive, musty odor. This odor is most noticeable when there is a large infestation. The scent is caused by the cockroaches’ secretions and can linger in places where they frequent. If you notice a musty or oily smell, especially around your kitchen or bathroom, it could be a sign that cockroaches have made your home their own.
Cockroaches produce eggs in protective cases called oothecae. The egg cases are normally brown or black and the size of a rice grain. They are secreted in places that are difficult to access such as wall crevices, furniture backs, or appliance undersides. If you notice these egg cases, you're probably facing an actively breeding cockroach infestation.
Cockroaches are food-lovers and will bite through nearly anything to access it. When you notice tiny holes in packaging on food, crumbs on your kitchen floor, or chewed-up cardboard boxes, cockroaches are the culprits. They tend to feed on a range of things, including leftover food, grease, and even pet food.
Cockroaches multiply rapidly, and the longer you wait, the larger the infestation will become. Call Bug Squashers of Maryland for professional inspection and treatment.
Cockroaches have been scurrying around our world for over 300 million years—longer than the dinosaurs. That's why they're some of the most resourceful, adaptable pests on the planet. Whether it's extreme heat, cold, or even radiation, cockroaches can survive it, which means they're extremely hard to eliminate without professionals or long-term pest control measures.
As bizarre as it sounds, a cockroach will live for a week without its head. That is because they have small pores in each body segment that they breathe through, and not their nose or mouth. While they do ultimately die of dehydration, this repulsive tidbit shows just how hardy and resilient these bugs really are.
Cockroaches are not just disgusting—they're hazardous. Picking up deadly germs like Salmonella, E. coli, and others while traveling through filth, sewage, and contaminated areas, cockroaches spread these germs onto food, plates, and countertops, which become health hazards for all, and especially for children and elderly members, who may be more susceptible.
Cockroach allergens in their feces, saliva, and shed skin can cause asthma and allergic attacks. Roach infestations have been found to be among the top triggers for respiratory issues, particularly in children, according to research. If one of your family members is wheezing or constantly sneezing, roaches could be the unsuspecting perpetrator in the shadows.
A single female roach can have up to 400 babies in her lifetime. Once they've infested your house, they'll rapidly breed, looking to nest in dark, damp crevices such as under your kitchen sink, at the rear of your fridge, or in your walls. A single roach is typically an indication that lots, lots more are hiding out and breeding quickly somewhere nearby.
At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we don't just treat symptoms—solutions. Our experienced technicians understand where the roaches are hiding and how to get rid of them with effective, safe solutions that work. We're committed to protecting your home and your sense of well-being.
