About us

We are Tacoma's dedicated experts in cockroach elimination.

When winter settles over Tacoma and cockroaches seek warmth inside your home, PCI Pest Control delivers comprehensive solutions that go beyond basic spraying. We specialize in German cockroach elimination with our proven three-visit treatment package at $595, which includes targeted applications of Alpine WSG and Phantom to cracks, voids, and harborages where these pests hide.

What sets us apart in the Tacoma area is our thorough approach combined with honest communication about preparation requirements. We’ll never show up unprepared or waste your time with ineffective treatments. For example, we require customers to empty cabinets and clear treatment zones before service because we know this preparation is critical for reaching cockroach hiding spots and delivering results that actually last.

Our December cockroach treatments come with two follow-up visits spaced about a week apart, and we back our work with detailed post-treatment guidance so you know exactly what to expect. Whether you’re dealing with an active infestation or want to prevent cockroaches through our All Seasons Protection Plan Plus, we bring local expertise and professional-grade products that Tacoma homeowners can count on year-round.

Our Process

Our Pest Control Process In Our Process: Reliable Cockroach Control in Tacoma, WA

We pride ourselves on a simple, straight forward no-frills process.

01

You call, we inspect and diagnose

Our process begins with a detailed inspection to diagnose the infestation, where we identify the specific species, which in Tacoma is almost always the German cockroach.

We then meticulously search for their harborages and the conditions that help them thrive, like moisture under kitchen sinks or warmth behind appliances, which are common problems as roaches seek shelter from Tacoma’s cold, wet December weather.

02

We treat pests where they live

The second step is to treat cockroaches where they live and hide by applying residual products like Alpine WSG and Phantom directly into cracks, voids, and other hotspots. For example, we use professional flushing agents such as CB-80 to drive insects from their hiding places before placing monitoring traps to document harborage areas.

03

We report our findings, and create a plan

After completing treatment, we provide a detailed report of our findings and document all cockroach activity, harborage areas, and conducive conditions discovered during our service. We then establish an ongoing post-treatment plan with two follow-up visits scheduled approximately one week apart, which is especially important during Tacoma’s damp December weather when German cockroaches seek warmth and moisture inside homes around kitchens, bathrooms, and heated spaces.
