Please read through some of the information to help prepare you for your next Cockroach treatment.

PREPARATION

Excellent sanitation is a very important part of eliminating cockroaches from homes and businesses. We recommend having a deep clean of the kitchen done prior to our cockroach treatments.
TREATMENT
- Gel bait is used around the kitchen and any other noted areas of activity
- Gel bait is applied to cracks and crevices throughout kitchen, near baseboards, below and behind stoves, near exhaust fans, microwaves, behind fridges and under sinks; especially where plumbing is coming out of the wall
- Powder substance is also used around plumbing openings
- Note: We do not typically spray for cockroaches, as this only offers a temporary fix and can actually cause them to move to other areas of the building
POST TREATMENT
- Cockroaches become feeding adults within 10 days. They consume bait and full results should be seen within 2-3 weeks, as long as sanitation is under control
- We advise children to stay clear of the gel and powder, however the toxicity is very low
- The gel and powder will be left in areas out of reach of children and pets
