Steps to Get Rid Of Your Roaches
Get Rid of Your Roaches
It is every apartment dweller’s and homeowner’s worst nightmare- an invasion of skittering, crawling, scratching roaches. Once you see one roach, you can be sure its relatives aren’t far away. There’s no such thing as “one” cockroach. They travel in colonies and where there’s one, there’s an infestation. Before you start packing your bags, though, there are remedies for a roach problem. Don’t let these creepy little invaders drive you from your home. Here are some steps you can take to get rid of your roaches.
Starve them Out
Roaches are attracted to food sources- like grease residue, crumbs, and any other minute specks of food or moisture they can find. Taking meticulous care to clean up any spills, residue, or crumbs that may be around your house is a good start towards trying to get rid of your roaches. Try to keep food contained to the kitchen area, and be sure to use sealable containers for all your stored foods. Try not to allow the roaches any easy access to food sources inside your home.
Block them Out
Roaches and other insects find their way into our homes through the tiniest of cracks. Take the time to go around and caulk and seal any tiny cracks and crevices in foundations, around window seals, and along walls and baseboards. This is especially important in apartment buildings where roaches often travel from one unit to the next.
Dry them Out
Roaches love damp, dark, moist places. Be sure to repair even the smallest water leaks right away. Don’t allow puddles or patches of moisture to gather. Don’t overwater indoor plants and remove any standing water from in and around your home.
Freeze them Out
By keeping your home cool, either by keeping your windows open in cool weather (with screens, of course) or using an air conditioning system, you can stop roaches from spreading around using their wings. In cooler weather, roaches have a harder time moving around, and you’ll have an easier time containing an infestation.
Drive them Out
If all else fails, or if you have a serious infestation, it may be necessary to call in expert help. Don’t wait too long to seek out help from the experts at Exclusive Pest Control. The earlier you catch a roach infestation, the easier it will be to drive these creeping pests from your home. Regular checks and treatments can help keep your spaces roach-free for the future.

John was very accommodating and went out of his way to satisfy our needs. We intend to keep his service and would highly recommend him to anyone. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

For the job I had for EPC I am very satisfied. He has made a huge difference - Unfortunately this house had a roach infestation before, but now we are taking the step to end this nightmare. When I contacted EPC for pest control John was very fast in response, so yes I would refer him to others, prices are good and the service is good as well. John was on time, we are very happy.

Being allergic to most bug sprays, I was skeptical about having our yard sprayed. And living in the low country my entire life, I had accepted the fact that mosquitoes are just part of our environment. John came out and sprayed the yard. It was unbelievable! I was literally able to go outside and read a book in the grass. I am a believer!

John responded immediately by phone and treated my house the next day. He was very professional and advised me with the next steps to take to keep my home protected. I'm a very pleased customer and would hire him again, if needed.

I have been using Exclusive Pest Control for 3 years. We live on the golf course with the marsh behind us. So we have a LOT of mosquitos! John has been wonderful to work with and guarantees his services. Without doubt, I can call on a whim to say the bugs are attacking and he comes to our rescue! I’ve even sent him a text message the day before I am having an event at my home and he is always quick to arrive.

I would highly recommend John McGee and Exclusive Pest Control. They are very thorough and professional. I get reminders when my maintenance is due, instead of a just bill for it and no one ever showing up. He is the only one that has actually kept the mosquitos away. When I need an extra mosquito spray because of all the rain, they are always available to get right out, none of this we’ll be in your area in two weeks.
