Seeing roaches in daylight means the infestation behind your walls is already large — our technicians run a full harborage inspection and place gel bait and IGR at the source, not just where you spotted them.
A technician traces roach activity back to the actual harborage point — usually near a water source — before recommending anything.


Every technician treating Portola properties for cockroaches carries state pest-control licensing and full liability coverage.
We keep dispatch slots open specifically for active infestations, because roach colonies double in size fast.
You'll get one flat quote after inspection covering the initial treatment and the scheduled follow-up — no per-visit surprises.
Our toolkit includes crack-and-crevice injectors and glue boards for monitoring, not just a general-purpose spray can.
German cockroaches cluster near water and heat — behind the fridge, under the dishwasher, inside cabinet hinges — and our gel bait placements target those exact voids.
We inspect floor drains and sump areas specifically for American roach activity, which behaves differently than kitchen-dwelling German roaches.
IGR products interrupt the reproduction cycle so casings already laid never mature into breeding adults.
We service commercial kitchens on off-hours schedules with sealed bait placements that meet food-safety handling requirements.
Roaches hide in cabinet seams and baseboard gaps too narrow for a spray nozzle — our injectors reach directly into those voids.
Glue monitors placed at the first visit let us count activity decline at the follow-up instead of guessing whether treatment worked.

Tell our dispatcher where you've spotted activity; roach calls get fast-tracked given how quickly colonies grow.
Our mobile units carry cockroach-specific product, so there's no return trip needed to grab the right materials.
We trace harborage points, identify German versus American species, and quote a flat price before opening a single bait tube.
Bait and IGR go down the same visit, with a scheduled follow-up to confirm population decline and re-treat any remaining hot spots.
Seeing roaches in the kitchen at night was bad enough, but finding them in daylight was what made me call. One visit and the gel bait cleared it out within two weeks.
Our restaurant needed a documented roach program fast after a near-miss on a health inspection. Nex Pest Control had gel stations placed within a day and logs ready for the next visit.
The technician explained the difference between killing roaches and killing the colony. That distinction is exactly what fixed our problem.

No matter which Portola neighborhood you're in, a technician equipped for cockroach-specific treatment can reach you the same day.

Store-bought sprays kill visible roaches but rarely reach the egg casings hidden in voids, so the colony rebounds within weeks.
Yes — German and American roaches are naturally nocturnal, so daytime activity usually means the population has outgrown the hidden harborage space.
Most Portola clients notice fewer sightings within the first week, though full clearance depends on infestation size.
Yes — gel bait and IGR placements are applied in cracks and voids, not on food-contact surfaces, and we'll walk you through any re-entry timing.
Yes — commercial Cockroach Control service adds recurring monitoring and paperwork that a one-time residential visit doesn't need.
Our guarantee covers a free re-treat if activity continues past the stated window on your service agreement.
