How do I prepare for the Initial Roach treatment?
Prior to service, all cabinets in kitchen and baths must be emptied.  Store items in living room leaving counter tops empty.  Also, remove stored items off baseboard heat registers.  Upon completion, wait two hours before returning stored items to cabinets.  Do not wipe down or spray cabinets.  If there are any current problems in furniture items please empty out or notify the technician when he arrives.  If you will be away from the property on the scheduled day of service, please leave a note on the kitchen counter with special instructions or requests.
How to prepare for a roach bait application?
In preparation, we ask that you empty under your sinks in the bathroom(s) and kitchen areas and clear the countertops.  Your residence will be treated with a roach bait.  This bait is designed to eliminate roach infestations by actually feeding the roaches.  No sprays or aerosols will be used in this application.

To insure the effictiveness of this application, please do not use any insecticides after this application.  Sprays and aerosols will cause bait contamination.

It is essential that you maintain a clean home.  Grease and grime gives the roaches and additional food source.  This will slow the elimination of the roaches.

Your cooperation is essential in obtaining results.
