Cockroach Control Starts with Eliminating Hiding Places

In most cases, harborage, not food and water are the major factors  which determine the size of a domestic cockroach population. Where do cockroaches love to hide? In tight areas—between stacks of paper bags, piles of cardboard, stacks of newspapers. Wrapping cardbaord boxes or stacks of trays inside large plastic bags, instantly eliminates large harborage areas. Better yet, get that stuff out of the house, sweep up the crumbs and you’re well on your way to cockroach control. However, before you start using chemical controls consider whether you really know how to properly use, store, and dispose of pest control chemicals. Professional exterminators are trained in using just the right amount for the job. They also use best practices for storage and disposal to protect you and the planet.
