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.
Products are Health Canada approved and applied according to the product label, and our technicians are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). Our cockroach work is backed by a 90-day warranty.
