Life in Florida comes with roaches. It’s just a fact of living here. Yet this doesn’t mean you have to let them walk all over you, sometimes literally. Cockroach treatments are easy to maintain with the partnership of a Brevard County Pest Control service like Slug-A-Bug.

Roach Prevention

The first step to getting rid of any cockroach problem is to proof your home against them. You can get rid of as many as you like, but if there’s still a way for them to crawl into your home, it doesn’t do any good.

Part of this is entry points: we can take care of this by finding and sealing all the cracks and gaps through which roaches find their way into your home. The other part of this is habit: that’s your part. It includes wiping up crumbs, sealing your food up, and taking out the garbage regularly. Roaches are only attracted to a home if it provides them access to food and water.

One other element is to inspect any furniture or boxes you’re bringing into your home. Some roaches come in from the outside. Others – like German cockroaches that don’t live outside – are carried in through other means. A good inspection can save you a lot of trouble later on.

Roach Control

The second step to get rid of roaches is roach control. This may include treatment options which we can provide. Different cockroaches follow different behavior patterns. Depending on the pest, cockroach treatments may involve roach-proofing, more direct treatments, traps, and adjusting environmental factors.

A little change in landscaping can directly impact the number of American roaches, whereas German roaches would need a focus on more direct treatment. Working with pest control involves eliminating the pest animal, securing your home against them, and making sure everything in your home or business is clean and ready to go.
