How long after an exterminator performs a service should it take for cockroaches to die off completely?

One day I found 20 within a matter of 30 minutes. I am curious as to why there are so many, and why they are hanging around my home?

I found white flies in a hotel bathroom. What methods are used to control them?

They’ve returned to my house for three springs/summers now. What can I do to stop their return?

They always appear on the fluorescent light fixtures, and every time we kill them all, a few hours later there are more. How do we figure out where these are coming from?

Please help me find the right way to get rid of multiple "fruit flies" that are flying around my bedroom, bathrooms and kitchen.

The entire building sits on a limestone slab. We can't clean out the drains. What can we do?

The past two apartments I've lived in had bugs (fleas and drain flies, according to Orkin). I have two questions.

Where do fleas live in the house?

How long will a flea treatment continue to kill fleas?

What are common signs of fleas in the house?

Our house is infested with fleas. What does Orkin do to get rid of them? Is there anything we have to do in preparation for your treatment?

I have a flea extermination scheduled. What do I need to do to prepare my condo?

Is there any way I can treat just my room and all of my packed and ready-to-go boxes before I move?

When we wake up and find a bite on one of us we do not know what we're dealing with. Can Orkin help us figure this out and treat it?
