GERMAN ROACH – TEENAGER

• Completely empty all kitchen and bathroom cupboards.
• If roaches seen in bedroom, empty chest of drawers, dresser drawers, and closet shelves.
• Pack stored items on tables, couches, etc, or in middle of floors (not against wall-floor junction). Cover completely.
• Clean cupboard shelves, counter tops, etc. before treatment.
• Clean stove tops (lift and clean undersides of top) of greasy residue..
• Shift refrigerator(s) and freezers and clean underneath and behind.
• Do not clean cupboards afterwards. You may put contents back without fear of contamination.
• Allow 2 full weeks for complete control. What we spray does not penetrate egg shells, but is a residual which will kill the young roaches after they hatch from the eggs. Generally it will take up to two weeks for the eggs to hatch and/or for the larger roaches, which are hiding in inaccessible parts of the walls to come out and get in our residual. Follow up treatment recommended 14 days after first treatment exercise
• Do not spray any area after, with store bought insect spray.
