How do I get rid of sand cockroaches?

What Orkin Does

Considering how little is known about the damage sand cockroaches can do, residents should remove any they may find. Because the pests don't breed in homes, infestations are unlikely to grow.

Your local Orkin Pro is trained to help manage sand cockroaches and similar pests. Since every building or home is different, your Orkin Pro will design a unique cockroach treatment program for your situation.

Orkin can provide the right solution to keep sand cockroaches in their place and out of your home or business.
