Preparations for “First Time” or “Cleanout” Cockroach treatments:

It is imperative that you completely empty all kitchen and bathroom cabinets, especially the plumbing areas under sinks and around dish washers.

If you are using any commercially available (over the counter) pesticides, discontinue use immediately. These products can prevent the effectiveness of the professional products we will be using.

Kitchen:

• Place all dishes, food (canned or boxed) into plastic bags and close tightly.
• Place the bags in the center of the kitchen or someplace where they will not interfere with service personnel accessing the cabinets and baseboards.
• Front areas of refrigerators and stoves will need three (3) feet of clearance.

Bathroom:

• Remove all medicines, toothbrushes, personal care products and place into plastic bags and close tightly.
• Place the bags someplace where they will not interfere with service personnel accessing the cabinets and baseboards. The bathtub is suggested for this.

Bedroom and Closets:

• If pests have been observed in dressers, then remove drawers and place where they will not interfere with service personnel accessing the front and side areas of the dressers.
• If pests have been observed in closets, then remove all clothes from the rack and any stored items from the shelf. Place where they will not impede access to the closet.

Basements:

• Move all clothing and stored items away from washer, dryer and sink areas. Locations here the walls and ceilings as well as the walls and floors meet need to be accessible to service personnel.

Garages:

• Place all stored people and pet food into plastic bags.
• Baseboards need to be accessible to service personnel.

Aquariums or Fish Tanks:

• Disable filtering systems at time of treatment and cover with a plastic bag.

For one week to ten (10) days following the treatment, you may notice an increase in pest activity. If this occurs, do not be concerned. This is a result of the treatment driving the pests out of their nesting areas.

We strongly recommend that small children, the elderly, people with respiratory problems and pets vacate the premises during the treatment and remain away for at least two (2) hours.
