Roaches & Rodents

Cockroaches

Damage:

Cockroaches spread human disease by depositing disease organisms on food and utensils. The American cockroach, which comes into contact with human excrement in sewers or with pet droppings, may transmit bacteria that cause Salmonella and Shigella. German cockroaches are believed to be capable of transmitting disease-causing organisms such as Staphylococcus, hepatitis, and coliform bacteria. They also have been implicated in the spread of typhoid and dysentery.

Recent studies have found a strong association between the presence of cockroaches and increases in the severity of asthma symptoms in individuals who are sensitive to cockroach allergens.

Detection and Treatment:

Cockroaches may become pests in homes, restaurants, hospitals, warehouses, offices, and virtually any structure that has food preparation or storage areas. These pests are common even in the cleanest of crowded urban areas and older dwellings. It’s usually not difficult to discover an infestation, because they are often visible. Treatment usually involves sealing cracks and crevices to block entrance; keeping food and trash areas clean to avoid providing food; and the professional application of insecticide and bait on a regular basis.

Residential Rodent Control Program

Our residential rodent control program has five important steps:

Step 1 - A thorough inspection to identify the species, where they’re nesting, and what factors are attracting them.

Step 2 - Provide an inspection report outlining entry points, sanitation issues, found evidence, corrections needed and long term prevention steps.

Step 3 - Set and monitor professional rodent traps in all appropriate areas.

Step 4 - Repairing all potential entry points.

Step 5 - Assure all rodents are gone and repairs done.

Six month guarantee against re-infestation is included in with all our rodent work.

Commercial rodent control normally requires ongoing control measures which would be custom tailored to your specific needs. We would be happy to provide a free consultation.
