German Cockroach Control
German cockroaches are the dominant cockroach species in New York City. They live exclusively indoors and reproduce rapidly. Graduate uses targeted gel bait programs and insect growth regulators, not broadcast spraying, to eliminate colonies at the source.

Assessment
Comprehensive inspection to identify the scope and source of activity, entry points, and environmental conditions.
Treatment
Targeted protocols using IPM methodology, tailored to your property type and the specific species involved.
Prevention
Ongoing monitoring, exclusion work, and environmental modification to prevent recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions
German cockroaches live entirely indoors, reproduce rapidly (one egg case produces 30-40 nymphs), and are increasingly resistant to broadcast insecticides. Effective control requires targeted gel bait at harborage sites and an IGR to interrupt the breeding cycle — not spraying.
No. Our gel bait program is applied in targeted locations — inside cabinet hinges, under appliances, at pipe penetrations — not broadcast across surfaces. There is no need to vacate for our standard cockroach treatment.
They arrive in deliveries, used appliances, grocery bags, and moving boxes — and they move between units through shared pipe chases. A single egg case introduced this way can establish a population within weeks.
