German Cockroach Treatment in Lexington, SC
Family-Owned & Local Since 2009 | Serving Lexington, Columbia, Gilbert & Beyond

If you’ve started noticing fast-moving little brown roaches in your kitchen or bathroom, chances are you’re dealing with German cockroaches. These pests reproduce faster than any other household roach and love the warm, humid Midlands climate.

At Lamp’s Pest Solutions, we specialize in German cockroach treatment across Lexington, Columbia, West Columbia, and Lake Murray areas. Our local team uses safe, proven methods to eliminate infestations completely — and keep them from coming back.

Why German Cockroaches Are a Big Problem in South Carolina Homes

German roaches thrive in warm, humid environments — which makes Lexington County, Red Bank, and Lake Murray prime territory. Even spotless homes can attract them.

 

Why They’re So Hard to Get Rid Of

• They breed rapidly — one female can produce hundreds of offspring.

• They hide deep inside walls, appliances, and cabinet seams, and other cracks and crevices.

• They develop resistance to common store-bought sprays.

• They spread bacteria that can trigger allergies and asthma.

If you’re seeing roaches during daylight, that means the population is already overcrowded. Time to act fast.

Signs You Have a German Cockroach Infestation

Look for these clues around your home:

• Pepper-like droppings on counters or inside drawers

• Egg capsules (small brown cases) under appliances

• Musty odor in kitchens or bathrooms

• Smear marks along baseboards or cabinet edges

Even small signs can indicate a large hidden colony.

Our Proven German Cockroach Treatment Process

We use a multi-step professional program designed specifically for homes and businesses in the Midlands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1 – Detailed Inspection

We identify every hotspot — behind the fridge, under sinks, inside light switches, and more.

 

Step 2 – Targeted Treatment Plan

Our technician's roch control toolbox is ready for all infestation levels:

• Professional-grade gel baits and bait rotations

• Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) to stop reproduction

• Non-repellent sprays that reach hidden colonies

• Precision dusts in cracks and outlets

• HEPA vacuuming for heavy infestations

Each product is EPA-approved and pet and family-friendly when applied by our licensed team.

 

 Step 3 – Follow-Up & Prevention

Because German roaches reproduce so quickly, we schedule follow-ups to make sure every egg and hiding spot is treated. You’ll get updates and prevention tips after each visit.

​

Why German Roaches Sometimes Come Back

They hide in:

• Appliance motors (dishwashers, microwaves)

• Cabinet hinges and drawer joints

• Electrical outlets and wall voids

• Even behind wallpaper

One missed area can restart an infestation. Our approach targets all life stages — eggs, nymphs, and adults — to make sure they’re gone for good.

Sometimes people confuse cockroaches with bed bugs, and a cockroach treatment is not needed, but what they really need is a bed bug treatment.

 

Real Success Stories Around Lexington

Red Bank Kitchen Infestation

DIY sprays failed for months. We performed our initial cockroach inspection and treatment. Two visits later, zero roaches — thanks to gel baits and non-repellent liquid products. Still roach-free six months later.

​

Lake Murray Rental Property

Roaches nested behind the dishwasher. We treated plumbing entry points and added bait stations. Tenant feedback: “We haven’t seen one since.”

 

Seven Oaks Restaurant Kitchen

Severe commercial infestation cleared in two weeks using our IGR and gel bait rotation. Passed re-inspection with flying colors.

 

Major Roach Infestation Near The Barnyard Flea Market 

We handled a major German Cockroach infestation that had spread from a used refrigerator purchase. The renters had tried to get them under control, but after a month of failure, the roaches had spread from the kitchen to the bathrooms and in each of the bedrooms.

 Frequently Asked Questions About German Cockroach Control

Q: How long does treatment take?

You’ll notice a major reduction within 1–2 weeks. Complete elimination often takes multiple treatments

 

Q: Are the products safe for my kids and pets?

All of our treatments are applied with your, your kids, and your pets' safety in mind.  All products used are EPA-approved for your safety.

​

Q: How many treatments will I need?

Most homes need 2–3 visits for full control, but the number varies from house to house depending on the severity, sanitation, and other conducive conditions.

​

Q: What does it cost?

Our initial service for Lexington and surrounding homes is $295. Each follow-up service is $95.00

 

Q: Do you guarantee your work?

We don’t offer a traditional blanket guarantee because German cockroach infestations can vary greatly depending on the home and cooperation with prep steps. However, we stand behind our results: Initial treatment is $295, and follow-up visits are just $95 each as needed until the infestation is eliminated. You’re never locked into a contract—you decide when we’re done. Our goal is a roach-free home, and we’ll work with you until you’re satisfied.

​

Q: What’s the difference between German cockroaches and palmetto bugs?

Palmetto bugs (American cockroaches) are larger and usually stay outside. German cockroaches are smaller, light brown, and prefer indoor kitchens and bathrooms. They also reproduce much faster.
