There is nothing worse than turning on the lights and seeing a cockroach scurry across the room, back into its hiding place between your walls. Nobody wants these resilient pests sneaking around their house if someone sees a roach in their bedroom, don’t be surprised if they decide to sleep on the couch later that night.

Roaches can survive on whatever food source is nearby, including hair, sewage, or sweets, and have been known to carry diseases such as Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Escherichia coli.

Cockroaches have been on our planet for over 300 million years (no wonder they are so adaptive). Although there are over 4,500 species of cockroaches around the world 55 of which are found in the United States, you only have to worry about four species that like to move in German, brown-banded, Oriental, and American cockroaches.

These horrid pests love to hang around your home, so if you see them crawling around, the professionals at Arrow are here to help with cockroach extermination that will evict these undesirable guests for good.

12 Critical Steps to Prepare for Cockroach Control Service

Cockroaches are well-known pests. They can spread disease, damaged items, and their populations can grow very quickly from a single egg-carrying female to a full-fledged, widespread infestation. While the extermination of this small pest can be difficult if the entire population is not eliminated at once, there are different methods used for control.

Pest Control Professionals

Today, Roach Control Services most often use gel bait insecticides to control and eliminate cockroaches. This requires the placement of small beads of gel bait in areas where the cockroaches are known or expected to live, travel, or feed. Professional  Roach Control Services will generally provide you with a specific list of preparation activities that their company requires you to complete prior to their visit. Because a lack of preparation could make treatment unsafe or cause reinfestation of the entire home or building, many Professional  Roach Control Services will not treat areas that are not prepared to their specifications.

Preparation

1. Clean the home prior to the Roach Control Services visit, and maintain the home as neatly as possible afterward for long-term results. This helps to eliminate competing food sources for insects. When the home is clean, the roaches will be more easily attracted to the bait rather than to other food sources.
2. Cover and store any open food. Remove all foods, small appliances, and other small items from countertops.
3. Store and/or cover baby toys, supplies, crib mattress, changing table, etc.
4. Mop/scrub kitchen and other hard floors and woodwork with detergent. Thoroughly vacuum carpeted floors.
5. Vacuum up any visible roaches and eggs just before the service visit. The vacuum’s crevice attachment will help to get into the cracks. After vacuuming, take the vacuum cleaner outside, remove the vacuum bag, seal it, and discard it in the trash. Take a damp cloth and wipe down the entire vacuum cleaner. If any cockroaches or eggs are seen after this is completed, re-vacuum or otherwise kill them.
6. Always keep garbage in closed containers and take out the garbage every night.
7. Remove items from the top of the refrigerator, stove, and any other large appliances that could not be stored. Just prior to service, move these appliances away from the wall and clean behind and beneath them. If the stove has a removable bottom drawer that opens to the floor, you can simply pull this out and clean it and the floor. It will then not be necessary to move the entire stove.
8. Be sure that the Professional  Roach Control Services has free and full access to anywhere that cockroaches have been seen.
9. Discard all excess paper products and any other piles of trash, as these will provide harborage areas for roaches and other pests.
10. Homeowners should repair any water leaks immediately upon detection; apartment residents should report the leak to maintenance immediately upon detection.
