PEST CONTROL

Roaches need food, water and shelter to survive. By limiting these three essentials, it is more difficult for roaches to live in the infested area. Simply by improving the sanitation conditions you can often suppress existing populations and discourage new infestations. Consistent cleaning (vacuuming, mopping, wiping down of counter and table tops) on a daily basis will greatly assist in eliminating the food source. Trash should be disposed of and monitored for any spills. Caulking and sealing of cracks and crevices will also assist in elimination. Roaches like to live in hidden areas that are dark and damp. Treatment methods may include baiting and/or liquid spraying. The most common cockroaches found are the German, American and Oriental. On a few occasions the brown-banded has been found.

Rodent control can vary depending upon the situation. The inspection will be identify the harborage areas; rodent droppings and if rodent droppings are found, how “fresh” the droppings are. This will let our technician know how recent the rodent has been at the site, the size of the droppings to determine which type of rodents. After the inspection our technician will determine which products to use. If rodent stations, glue boards and/or snap traps are used, the technician will draw a diagram map of where each are located.

The common house fly are classified as filth flies because they breed in rotten food and garbage. Flies can mature from egg to adult in as few as ten days. This quick maturity can cause a severe fly problem in a short period of time. Getting rid of fly’s long term begins with proper sanitation and exclusion. To kill the existing fly population insecticides are used, the insecticides come in residual forms, aerosols, fogging materials, baits, ULV misting and we also utilize glue traps.
