After an inspection we treat the inside of the property in four ways:
- Interior residual spray along baseboards, under sinks and appliances and along plumbing lines.
- ULV flush to drive cockroaches out of hiding.
- Gel bait that spreads through the colony, with an insect growth regulator (IGR) where needed.
- Dust in cracks, crevices and voids.
A follow-up comes 4 to 6 weeks later.
