Preparing for your service
We will need to access all internal floor skirting board areas (within reason) to be able to apply a light pesticide spray along these areas to provide a treated zone for any German cockroaches to cross over, groom themselves and die.
All stock must be unpacked from cardboard boxes and stored above the ground to enable us to inspect and treat these areas thoroughly. Please move any items away from the skirting boards at least 10cm to allow our Inspector access to treat these areas effectively. Areas that cannot be treated will be a limitation.
What to expect After our Service
On the day of treatment we flush all the living German Cockroaches we can find out of their harbourage areas and kill them. A residual pesticide with an Insect Grown Regulator is left in place to keep working after we finish. When mopping your kitchen floor, please stay at least 10cm out from the skirting boards to ensure the residual pesticide is not disturbed for as long as possible.
After your service you may still see German Cockroaches emerging from concealed areas. They will die shortly after coming into contact with the pesticide or you can spray any remaining ones directly with a can of pesticide spray.
A German Cockroache egg contains 30-40 live baby cockroaches and as no pesticide can penetrate the egg casing, and there may be hundreds of eggs laid in concealed areas that we cannot access, these eggs will hatch over the next few weeks. If there is a severe infestation and there are quite a number of cockroaches that hatch, you will require another follow-up treatment to be completed. If this is conducted within 2 weeks of your initial treatment, we offer a discounted price. After 2 weeks the normal service price will apply. Please stay in contact with our office if you have any concerns.
