Cockroach Treatment
Cockroaches are tough and persistent. Some species can live up to two months without food or water and a single female and her offspring can reproduce to a population of over 30,000 individuals within a single year. Under the right conditions it’s easy to see how a cockroach infestation can quickly get out of hand. Fortunately with the right approach cockroaches can be effectively treated using a combination of products and integrated pest management. The first step is to prepare your kitchen by removing food from cabinets and pulling out appliances such as the oven and refrigerator to make room for inspection. A clean kitchen is important for starving roaches of easily accessible food in the form or crumbs or spilled grease. Once prepared and cleaned it’s time to tackle the roaches head on by scheduling a free inspection with a skilled pest control technician equipped with the necessary tools to put an end the infestation.
