Cockroach Treatment Preparation List
Sanitation is a major factor in controlling roaches. The following cleanup list is a must and needs to be completed before treatment is done. Cleanup can’t be done after treatment as the needed sanitation procedures will remove or render inactive the products used in controlling roaches.
Thank you for your help. If the following list cannot be completed before the service date and time please call us to reschedule, 530-229-0458.
Preparation:
- A clean kitchen is of utmost importance. Clean floors, range, and hood along with countertops. Clean the dishwasher inside and out. Cleaning behind the refrigerator, stove, trash cans is very important.
- Cupboards need to have all items removed. Please include the removal of all items under the sink, drawers, and pantry. A thorough cleaning of cupboard draws, the pantry is a must. Items removed from cupboards draws and panty may be placed on the kitchen table covered with a sheet.
- Bathroom cabinets and under sink need to have all items removed and cleaning should be done in the same manner as the kitchen.

- Sanitation is essential. Keep all food and garbage from accumulating allowing roaches feed to feed and hide.
