Cockroach Control

Even as one of the most common household pests, cockroaches are never a welcomed sight in your home. Luckily, there are easy ways of ridding your house or office of these invasive insects. Learn more about cockroach control and when to call in the professionals.

Cockroach Control

Like most pests, cockroaches find their way into buildings in search of food, water, and shelter. This is why it’s important to learn how to eliminate easy access to these elements and make your place much less desirable to pests. Daily cleaning and proper food storage are two of the main preventative measures, but what happens when it’s already too late?

If you find yourself with a cockroach infestation, you need to act fast to rid the area of these harmful pests. They can carry bacteria that lead to disease and multiply quickly if left untreated. The easiest way to treat them is to call a pest control company that’ll know exactly how to handle the situation. If you want to determine how much of a problem you have on your hands, take the following test:

1. Search the most popular pest hiding spots, such as behind the refrigerator, under the sink, in the back of the cabinet, in the corner of doors.
2. Set roach glue strips, gel baits, or a similar product in these areas and monitor activity for a few days.
3. Treat the areas where roaches were captured by the traps
4. Close any gaps in these areas to help prevent future infestations.
