WHY CONTROL COCKROACHES?
Noticing black specks, a musty smell, or roaches darting when the lights turn on? Cockroaches multiply fast, spread bacteria, and trigger allergies. Without quick action, they can overrun your home.
Hiding in kitchens, basements, and behind appliances, cockroaches often go unnoticed until infestations worsen. That’s why Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management offers expert Cockroach Pest Control in Waterloo, IA—to eliminate them and keep your home pest-free.
1. Cockroaches Multiply Quickly
One cockroach can lay dozens of eggs at a time, turning a little issue into a full-blown infestation within weeks. Early treatment prevents this.
2. They Squeeze into Tiny Gaps
Cockroaches flatten their bodies to slip through cracks, drains, and cabinets. Most stay hidden during the day, making infestations hard to detect.
3. Professional Treatment Works Best
DIY sprays only kill visible roaches—not the ones hiding deep in walls and breeding areas. Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management ensures complete cockroach control, eliminating infestations at the source and preventing future problems.

What a great experience Ronnie Hayes came to our place he came to our place assessed that we had a few raccoons in our attic. He even put a trap on the roof and for them out the same day then the relocated them. For a very responsible place.
Reliable workers! Very professional!
Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful- I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).
She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again. On time, efficient, and very knowledgeable!!
