Q: How do you get rid of roaches?
A: Roach treatments include a liquid pest treatment. For larger infestations, baits can be used in conjunction with a liquid spray to target roaches in more specific or sensitive areas, such as kitchens or bathrooms.
Q: How do I rodent-proof my home?
A: There are many factors that should be taken into account when rodent-proofing your home such as:
What rodent am I dealing with?
Where are the entry points?
Are there other potential entry points?
Has the rodent created any damage or unhealthy conditions that I should alter?
Will the materials I’m using stand up to weather and rodent tampering?
Because each of these is important to answer and because each combination of answers might change the approach taken to rodent-proof a house, it is highly recommended to have a professional pest control operator assess the situation and provide appropriate solutions.

Q: Are pests harmful?
A: Unfortunately, some can be.
- Cockroaches, in particular, are a leading trigger of allergies and asthma attacks. Their saliva, droppings, and decomposing bodies have allergen proteins known to increase the severity of asthma symptoms, especially in children.
- Mosquitoes transmit at least four human diseases (West Nile Virus, Malaria, Zika, Dengue Fever) that have been found in the United States. All of them have potentially fatal consequences.
- Stinging/Biting insects are not considered a public health risk and do not transmit disease like mosquitoes, but they are responsible for sending over 500,000 people to the hospital in the US each year. As such, they should be considered dangerous and should be left to professional pest control operators to deal with.
