HOW TO PREPARE FOR A SErVICE CALL

We’re excited to help you reclaim your space! Now that your pest control service is scheduled, here’s what you need to know to get the most out of your treatment.

Our preparation guides are tailored based on where the service will be and what pests we’re targeting. Whether you requested treatment inside your home, outside, or both, we've made it easy to prepare:

A close-up of a cockroach on a pile of icicles or clear ice.
    • Clear baseboards throughout the house.

    • Remove animals (dogs, cats, hamster, etc.)

    • Cover and unplug filter to fish tanks.

    • Leave windows and doors closed and locked for burglary protection.

    •  Mow and water before we come. Works best if you do NOT mow or water for at least 2 days following treatment.

    • Leave gates unlocked and garage open.

    • German (small brown, mainly in kitchen)

      • Completely empty all kitchen and bathroom cupboards.

      • If roaches seen in bedroom, empty chest of drawers, dresser drawers, and closet shelves.

      • Pile things on tables, couches, etc, or in middle of floors (not against baseboards). Cover completely with sheets, blankets, etc..

      • Wipe down cupboard shelves, counter tops, etc. before treatment.

      • Clean stove tops (lift and clean undersides of top) and exhaust fumes.

      • Pull out refrigerator and clean back, bottom and floors.

      • Be prepared to vacate property for 2-4 hours.

      • Upon return, you may find dead roaches, wipe them up. Wipe down tables and table tops.

      • Do not wipe out cupboards. You may put contents back without fear of contamination.

      • Allow 2 full weeks for complete control. What we spray does not penetrate egg shells, but is a residual which will kill the young roaches after they hatch from the eggs. Generally it will take up to two weeks for the eggs to hatch and/or for the larger roaches, which are hiding in inaccessible parts of the walls to come out and get in our residual.

      • Wait two days to vacuum, then vacuum every other day for 10 days. Throw out vacuum bag after each use.
