HOW WE CAN HELP:

When PT Pest Control services your cockroach infestation, we approach it in a way that ensures the quickest possible results. We understand each home is unique and our professionally trained technicians will conduct a thorough examination of your space.

SANITATION:

The most effective pest control begins with prevention. Trash should be disposed of properly, and sanitary conditions should be impeccably maintained. Cockroaches can survive in small areas with limited amounts of food and shelter. So no matter how clean, all places where food is stored should be made cockroach-proof as a preventative measure by keeping food tightly sealed in metal or glass containers. Both human and pet food is an incentive for cockroaches. Our Pro Trap professional will provide you with detailed recommendations to remove objects which attract cockroaches.

INSPECTION:

We will conduct a thorough inspection of your home, identifying any signs of cockroach activity and potential entry points, taking the time to understand your individual needs. At the end of the inspection, your pest control professional will develop a customized plan to address your specific cockroach problem.
