Cockroaches, especially German cockroaches, thrive in apartment buildings because:
Units share walls, plumbing, and ventilation
Food sources are easy to find
Warm indoor temperatures allow year-round survival
Infestations can spread quickly between units
👉 This means even a clean apartment can get cockroaches if neighboring units are infested.
Watch for these warning signs:
Small black droppings (like pepper or coffee grounds)
Egg casings (ootheca) in cabinets or corners
Musty, oily odor
Live cockroaches (especially at night)
Smear marks along walls or baseboards
👉 Seeing roaches during the day often means the infestation is severe.
Start by removing what attracts them:
Wipe down all surfaces daily
Vacuum crumbs and debris
Take out garbage every night
Store food in sealed containers
👉 Cleanliness alone won’t eliminate them—but it’s essential.
Cockroaches need water to survive.
Fix leaking pipes
Don’t leave water in sinks overnight
Dry tubs and countertops
Stop them from moving between units:
Seal cracks in walls and baseboards
Use caulking around pipes and sinks
Install door sweeps
The most effective DIY method:
Apply cockroach gel bait in:
Kitchen cabinets
Behind appliances
Under sinks
👉 Roaches eat the bait and spread it to others, killing the colony.
Sprays can:
Scatter cockroaches deeper into walls
Make infestations worse
Reduce effectiveness of bait
Place traps in:
Kitchens
Bathrooms
Near baseboards
👉 Helps track infestation levels.
In Calgary apartments, you cannot solve a cockroach problem alone.
Roaches travel between units
Treating one unit = temporary relief
Entire building may need treatment
👉 Always report the issue to your property manager or landlord immediately
Call professionals if:
You see roaches daily

Infestation is spreading

Professional exterminators use:
Advanced gel bait systems
