Sanitation is essential when aiming to gain control over cockroach activity. Follow the Cockroach Preparation Sheet below before having a cockroach treatment by Gladiator Pest Control.
- Clear all drawers, sinks, and cabinets in your kitchen area - as well as any furnishings where roaches have been observed. Assure that counter tops and kitchen sinks are clear and that there is access to the plumbing area under the kitchen sink(s).
- Clean the kitchen area before treatment-these roaches thrive off a variety of food sources from beverage residue to grease and other organic matter. Thoroughly clean the drawers, stove, refrigerator, microwave, cabinets, countertops, and any other space where buildup of organic matter may be.
- We highly advise that refrigerators, stoves, and dishwashers be pulled out and away from walls/cabinets and cleaned behind if possible.
- Clear the space along baseboards of any other area/room where activity has been found - the space must be accessible for the technician to walk through and service.No belongings should be in the way of walkways or along walls in rooms where roach activity has been seen.
