Cockroach Removal & Control Services

Cockroach pest control can be difficult if you’re living in an environment that roaches prefer. However, there are some ways that you can make your home or business less appealing to cockroaches.

• Keep your food sealed and inaccessible to pests. Put food in plastic tubs where it cannot be reached by roaches. Do not leave crumbs on your counter or floors. Wash your counters, sink and floors every night before going to bed. Take out the trash nightly. Use a trash can with a lid. Never leave dirty dishes in your sink at night.
• Get rid of all water sources. Know the signs that you have a plumbing leak and make any necessary plumbing repairs. Regularly check your sinks, toilet and bathtub for leaks.
• Limit your eating spaces. Keep your meals contained to the dining room or kitchen table. Don’t eat in spaces like the living room or bedroom. In particular, avoid eating anything that produces a lot of crumbs. If you do eat in an unusual part of the house, clean up the food right away, and vacuum if necessary. Make eating in bedrooms off limits for kids who do not understand the importance of cleaning up quickly after themselves.
• Clean up stacks of paper. Paper and cardboard can be used as a shelter by roaches. Get rid of your cardboard boxes and any stacks of paper in your home.
• Seal up points of entry. Roaches can get into your home through holes around utility pipes and through cracks in your wall. Seal up cracks and seal your crawl space, especially if your cockroach pest control person says there are roaches living in your crawl space.
• Make a plan of action with your pest control person. Working with a cockroach removal person, you’ll be able to learn for yourself what you can do to prevent cockroaches in your home. Work with your pest control person to create a customized plan for preventing or removing cockroaches from your home.
