Our Services for multi-family housing include:
Roach Removal and Prevention
The most common type of cockroach found in apartments is the German cockroach. This roach lives and breeds indoors. They are commonly carried into apartments through groceries, stored goods, or shared laundry facilities. They can also find their way in from an adjacent apartment. These common apartment roaches are about one-half of an inch in length and light tan in color.
German roaches are most active at night, remaining hidden during the day. They love to hide in cracks and crevices of cabinets, under and around appliances, behind baseboards and inside wall voids. They prefer to live in warm, humid areas near food and water sources. The kitchen and bathroom are the most likely places to find these roaches. However, as the roach population increases, they can be found throughout the entire apartment. The greatest concern with finding German roaches in an apartment is that they breed rapidly. Each female German cockroach can produce hundreds of offspring in as little as 30 to 45 days.
Other species of cockroaches, such as the American roach and the smoky brown roach, may occasionally wander in. These types of roaches primarily live outdoors and venture indoors in search of food, water, or both.
Bed Bug Removal and Monitoring
Bed bugs are small, from as little to one millimeter during their early immature stages and reaching no more than ¼ of an inch as adults. These creepy insects feed exclusively on blood, requiring it for both development and reproduction. While they feed primarily on the blood of humans, they can feed on the blood from a wide variety of animals. Their bite can cause itchy red welts, however, some people have little to no reaction at all after being bitten.
Since bed bugs are nocturnal, they will appear during the dark, nighttime hours when they leave their secretive hiding places to feed off of their host. Their bites are typically painless, so the sleeping victim is usually unaware the tiny insects are feeding on them as they sleep. Once they are fully engorged with blood, they will once again return to their hiding places where they often remain undetected. They typically reside within close range to the sleeping areas but have been shown in research to travel several feet to locate a host.
Cooper is equipped to carry out every step of the bed bug elimination process from proactive measures to reactive treatments. Cooper′s highly skilled representatives and technicians will inspect your home for signs of a bed bug infestation and determine the severity of the infestation. Treatment will then be carried out according to the needs of your particular situation. Unlike other companies, Cooper′s treatments DO NOT require prep on your part.
Rodent Removal and Prevention
Rats and mice not only contaminate food and spread diseases but also gnaw through walls and electrical wiring, making them among the most destructive of all pests that can invade your business. The team at Cooper Pest Solutions will address the problem at every level, from perimeter areas and entry points to nesting sites and beyond.
Rodents have the potential to:
- Spread diseases. Rodents and their parasites spread many dreaded diseases like plague, typhus, rat-bite fever and acute food poisoning.
- Contaminate food. Bacteria-infested urine and fecal droppings do more than just spoil food; they can become a nesting place for microscopic tapeworm eggs.
- Damage property and cost you money. Should a tenant see a rodent, it could hurt your reputation and impact your business. And with the ability to chew through walls and wiring, rats and mice can even trigger electrical fires in your building – potentially resulting in thousands of dollars in structural damage.
- Breed rapidly. One pair of mice can produce 200 offspring in four months.

COVID-19 and PPE
While you may go to great lengths to maintain the cleanliness of your property, thorough disinfecting is recommended. Disinfectix™ by Cooper Pest Solutions is a site disinfecting service carried out by professionals that is labeled for use against various pathogens and meets EPA criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
In multi-family housing, multiple in-apartment visits for pest control procedures represents the greatest risk for pest control technicians and residents. This risk certainly increases should there be a high proportion of elderly and other vulnerable persons in the building. Rest assured, we have the expertise and the right tools to provide an effective line of defense against the invisible threats while protecting our client's health and safety.
Our service professionals:
■ Are trained on the proper use of the products, including disinfectant application techniques and enhanced safety protocols.
■ Utilize proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize the spread of any germs or pathogens.
■ Have years of experience in servicing thousands of diverse businesses, in major industries, across the country every day.
We understand that in some cases, you may be considering suspending pest control due to budget issues. Unfortunately, the roaches, mice, rats, and bed bugs are not going away during this time. We are concerned that these pests are multiplying and causing damage to your property, so please don't delay since these issues are only going to continue and potentially worsen during these challenging times.
