Your Home Has Been Inspected & German Cockroaches Have Been Found. To Ensure an Effective Treatment, The Following Steps Must Be Completed Prior To Service:
1) Empty & Prepare All Kitchen & Bathroom Areas
- Remove all items from every kitchen and bathroom cupboard, drawer, shelf, and countertop. This includes china cabinets and shelves containing cookbooks.
- Failure to empty every area may compromise the technician’s ability to treat successfully and may prolong the elimination process.
- Place dishes, silverware, pots, and pans in another room, either inside plastic bags or covered with sheets.
- Any food removed from cabinets must be stored in sealed containers or placed in the refrigerator.
- Remove shelf paper (except Contact Paper) and clean all cupboards before treatment.
- Remove all items from medicine cabinets and under-sink areas.
- If pests have been seen in closets, remove all items from those areas as well.
- Ensure stove tops and ovens are free of food, and all surfaces are cleaned.
- Mop or vacuum the floors thoroughly.
- Use an appropriate cleaning solvent to wipe down all surfaces where pests have been observed or where treatment will occur.
2) Remove Pets From the Premises
- All pets must be removed from the home during treatment.
- Cover aquariums and unplug air pumps.
- Horizon Pest Control is not responsible for fish or pets during the treatment.
3) After Treatment
- Allow all treated surfaces to fully dry before returning items to cabinets or shelves.
- Do NOT clean surfaces after treatment, as this may remove materials applied by the technician and may render the treatment ineffective.
4) Do Not Self-Treat
- Please refrain from applying your own pesticides. Self-treatment can:
- Drive roaches deeper into walls
- Extend the time needed to resolve the issue
- Cause pests to move from one unit to another
