Treatment

BEFORE

• Clean home very well prior to pest control visit. When the home is clean it will be much harder for roaches to find food sources
• Remove EVERYTHING on, inside, above and below kitchen cupboards, closets, counter-tops and sinks. Your entire Kitchen and Kitchen closet should be empty.
• Remove EVERYTHING from under bathroom sinks and clear spaces around toilets and tubs.
• Mop/scrub kitchen and other hard floors and woodwork with detergent. Thoroughly vacuum carpeted floors.
• After vacuuming, take the vacuum cleaner outside, remove the vacuum bag, seal it, and discard in trash. Take a damp cloth and wipe down the entire vacuum cleaner.
• Always keep garbage in closed containers and take out the garbage every night. Discard all excess paper products and any other piles of trash, as these will provide harborage areas for roaches and other pests.
• Store and/or cover baby toys, supplies, crib mattress, changing table, etc.
• Repair any water leaks immediately upon detection; apartment residents should report the leak to maintenance immediately.
• Store and/or cover pet toys, food, etc.
• SEVERE INFESTATIONS – it may be necessary to perform treatment on the entire unit [see Richter]. In this case… Ensure there is ~1.5 feet  between all walls and any furniture throughout. It is imperative unit is clean. Counters, cabinets, floors, walls, carpet, etc should all be grease, grime, dirt and clutter free.
