What exactly is a Cockroach clean-out?
The number 1 dreaded issue in any home or restaurant is probably cockroaches and the worse of the worse is the German Cockroach. So lets discuss why they are such a problem once in your home or restaurant. German Cockroaches can and will get into everything – they love to hide in cracks and crevices, they multiply so fast that it could make your head spin, and they can survive for months without food and up to two weeks without water. So you see they can quickly cause a BIG problem and they are difficult to control without the knowledge of how they live.
If you see one there are a whole lot more you are not seeing. If they have moved from a kitchen or bathroom into a living room or bedroom you have a serious problem. Why you ask? They generally like to hang out near their food and water source, and will only leave that area when their numbers force them to expand. Sanitation is the key, keep it clean!
The Clean-out:
Since they love to hide, the pest control company has to get to their hideouts. That is your back of cabinets, or the corners where they can hide. They can also hide in the molding of the refrigerator, or the interior walls of the stove. This is why you must clean out the cabinets and by the way if someone says they can do it without removing dishes or groceries from the cabinets – call someone else. There are great and improved products that are fantastic in getting rid of roaches but the real trick is that you must kill at least 97% on the initial service or it will not work at all. So here is how ProBest Pest Management does an initial service for German Cockroaches.
We use an actisol machine (changes a liquid into atomized particles), Avert bait (dry bait), Temprid and Gentrol (IGR Insect growth regulator)and we almost always require a second visit.
If we can’t get to the roach we can’t always kill the roach.
