Cost of Pest Control? Hi all! So I’ve lived in the Midwest all my life and have never really had to deal with pests or bugs. However, I just found a cockroach in our (very clean) kitchen and we definitely need to hire a pest control company. I live in Seffner, my home is 1600sqft, the entire lot of the home (including the home) is 7200sqft. I have no other bug problems besides seeing a cockroach in my kitchen. I’m calling around to get estimates and whatnot, but I have NO idea what this should cost. So, Floridians-
1. What should something like this cost, roughly?
2. How soon should companies be able to come out to do this?
3. Do I need to have this redone often?
4. Any recommendations for any companies would be GREAT. We have a dog, too, so needs to be non-toxic.
Thank you!!

we do it ourself following this [guide](https://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com/roaches.htm). Basically we buy the chemicals online and a sprayer. About once a month we spray the outside of the house starting on the ground and then up the side. We also spray around all windows and doors. Inside the house we spray anywhere there is an opening. At the threshold to the doors and around any pipes. This keeps everything out.
