Cockroaches are more than just disgusting — in Virginia Beach, they’re a persistent threat to your health, comfort, and peace of mind. Thanks to the area's humidity, coastal environment, and year-round mild temperatures, roaches thrive in this region like few others.

If you're seeing them in your kitchen, bathroom, garage, or even crawling up your walls — you're not alone. At Senate Termite & Pest Control, we help Virginia Beach homeowners eliminate roaches for good.

Why Cockroaches Are So Common in Virginia Beach

The American cockroach, German cockroach, and Oriental cockroach are the most common species we treat in:

  • Virginia Beach
  • Chesapeake
  • Norfolk
  • Portsmouth
  • Suffolk
  • Hampton
  • Newport News

Roaches are drawn to moisture, food crumbs, trash, pet food, and even paper or cardboard. They often enter through plumbing gaps, under doors, and around utility pipes.

Once inside, they multiply fast — a single female German cockroach can produce thousands of offspring in just a few months.

The Real Dangers of a Roach Infestation

Besides being unsightly, cockroaches:

  • Carry bacteria and pathogens like E. coli and salmonella
  • Can trigger allergies and asthma, especially in children and the elderly
  • Leave feces and egg casings behind cabinets, under sinks, and in walls
  • Are extremely difficult to kill with over-the-counter products

Why DIY Roach Control Doesn’t Work

Bug sprays and roach traps might kill a few — but they don’t reach the nest. Most cockroaches hide in walls, behind appliances, and inside dark crawl spaces where store-bought treatments can’t reach.

Our team uses professional-grade baits, non-repellent treatments, and strategic flushing agents to target nests and eliminate infestations from the inside out.
