Q: Do roaches ever completely go away?

It can take awhile for these treatments to start working, and you&rsquo;ll need to stay on top of replacing old traps and having additional extermination services, plus keeping your home clean and decluttered, to deter roaches.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to evacuate the home after a bed bug treatment?

• <div><p>While you don&rsquo;t have to fully evacuate your home after a bed bug treatment, you will have to stay out of the treated rooms (or the whole home) for at least four to five hours after treatment. In most cases, you can return to sleeping on your existing mattress and use your existing furniture, but it&rsquo;s best to confirm this with a bed bug pro.</p></div>
