At Frattasio’s Family Pest Solutions, we recognize the distress and health risks cockroach infestations bring to Connecticut homes and businesses. As a family-owned pest control company serving the state for over 10 years, we deliver safe, effective, and discreet cockroach removal tailored to our region’s urban and suburban environments. Cockroaches, like German and American species, thrive in Connecticut’s warm, humid summers and seek shelter indoors during colder months, spreading through apartments, restaurants, and homes. Our expert team uses advanced methods to eliminate infestations and prevent their return, serving areas from Windham, Tolland, to Greater Hartford CT with a commitment to your peace of mind.

Connecticut’s mix of bustling cities, coastal towns, and rural areas creates ideal conditions for cockroaches. These resilient pests enter homes and businesses through cracks, pipes, or deliveries, drawn to food, water, and warmth. A single female German cockroach can produce up to 400 eggs in her lifetime, leading to explosive infestations.

Urban areas like Windham, Tolland, and Greater Hartford CT, with dense housing and commercial kitchens, are particularly vulnerable, while rural properties near wooded areas face invasions from American or wood cockroaches. In businesses such as restaurants or warehouses, cockroaches threaten health code compliance and customer trust.

Early detection is critical to controlling cockroaches before they overrun your property. Look for these signs in your Connecticut home or business:

• Live Roaches: Small, reddish-brown German cockroaches (½ inch) or larger American cockroaches (up to 2 inches) scurrying in kitchens, bathrooms, or basements, often at night.

• Egg Cases (Oothecae): Brown, purse-shaped capsules in hidden areas like cabinets, under sinks, or behind appliances.

• Fecal Droppings: Tiny, pepper-like specks or larger cylindrical pellets near food sources or along baseboards.

• Musty Odor: A persistent, oily smell in confined spaces, stronger with larger infestations.

• Shed Skins: Translucent exoskeletons left behind as nymphs grow.

If you notice these signs, act quickly—cockroaches multiply fast. Our free inspections identify the infestation’s scope without obligation.

Cockroaches are more than a nuisance; they pose significant health and property risks. They carry bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, contaminating food and surfaces, which can lead to food poisoning or gastroenteritis. Their droppings and shed skins trigger allergies and asthma, particularly in children, with studies linking cockroach allergens to respiratory issues in urban areas like Hartford. In commercial settings, cockroaches can lead to failed health inspections, costly closures, and reputational damage.

Property-wise, cockroaches damage food supplies, packaging, and even electronics by chewing or leaving corrosive droppings. Frattasios uses low-toxicity solutions to protect your health, home, and business.

Hiring a professional like Frattasio’s Family Pest Solutions for cockroach control in Connecticut is essential due to the resilience and rapid reproduction of these pests. Cockroaches hide in hard-to-reach areas like wall voids, under appliances, and inside pipes, making DIY methods such as store-bought sprays or traps ineffective against entire colonies. Over-the-counter products often scatter roaches, worsening the problem, or pose risks to pets and families if misapplied. Our certified technicians use advanced tools like moisture meters and targeted treatments, including gel baits, insect growth regulators (IGRs), and EPA-approved residual sprays, to eliminate all life stages—eggs, nymphs, and adults.

We also implement exclusion techniques, sealing cracks and crevices to prevent re-entry, and provide sanitation guidance to remove food and water sources. With weekly follow-ups for the first month and monthly monitoring, our 100% satisfaction guarantee ensures free re-treatments if roaches persist, saving you time, money, and health risks like allergies or food contamination.
