Cockroach Control
German Cockroach

Roaches can't help the fact that to most humans, they are unwanted company. It's funny, though, how these pesky insects can often make a grown man or woman scream, tremble and run for cover faster than you can say, "Where's the bug spray?". But that's just the way it is. We've done a lot of investigative work, and if you want to get rid of roaches in your house, we can help.

Here are some steps that you can take yourself:

DEPRIVE ROACHES OF WHAT THEY NEED -

Step 1: Cut down on their food supply

You will leave less food for the roaches if you:

Vacuum or sweep the floor after every meal.

Wash dishes in soapy, hot water to eliminate all traces of grease.

Keep trash in a tight-lidded container.

Keep compost as far from the house as possible. Cover each new "deposit" with a fresh layer of sand or soil.

Store unused portions of chips, cereal, cookies, flour, sugar, rice, etc. in tightly sealed plastic containers or large glass jars with screw-on lids.

After a pet has eaten, remove their food bowl and sweep the floor.

Don't walk through the house eating: contain crumbs in one room (less cleaning for you).

Don't forget to clean crumbs from under appliances daily.

Step 2: Make it hard for them to hide

If they can't hide, you can get them. So:

Move woodpiles away from outside walls.

Take your recycling out promptly; avoid letting old food cans, stacks of newspapers or magazines pile up.

Step 3: Dry Up Their Water Supply

Like humans, roaches can go much longer without food than without water. To keep roaches away, keep them thirsty.

Fix dripping faucets.

Pour some Lysol into toilets at night to make the water undrinkable.

Don't over water house plants. Soggy soil is a delicious cockroach cocktail.

Step Four: Keep Them Out!

To prevent roaches from migrating from your neighbor's place to yours, seal up common roach entryways.

Fill holes where pipes disappear into walls with steel wool or caulk.

Pour a little Lysol down your drains nightly to discourage roaches from crawling up into your sinks.

Keep sink plugs over drains.

Of course these are just a few steps that can be taken to help remedy your cockroach problems. There are professional alternatives that we use to get fast results with little or no smells, messes or stains. Call us today for a fast free estimate.
