- Hit ’em often. Don’t put the account on a regular service interval until there are zero German cockroaches. Perform service more frequently.
- Hit ’em everywhere. Access all locked areas, and inspect them thoroughly.
- Keep your eyes open. Monitor with sticky traps. Use the devices as early-warning detection systems.
- Keep your guard up. Use plastic bags to cover and seal personal items the client won’t throw out.
- Clean its clock. Clean spaces using a vacuum cleaner outfitted with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter before using pesticides.
- Triple shot to the head. Use dusts, crack-and-crevice residuals and ultra low-volume (ULV) pesticides to knock down populations.
- Body blow. Follow up with gel baits.
- More body blows. Once cockroach numbers are low, use more gel baits, and install cockroach bait stations.
- Adapt and overcome. Look for signs of bait aversion. Switch bait formulations if necessary.
- Get customers in your corner. Constantly communicate with property managers and tenants. Work closely with them to identify all cockroach problems and advance control measures.
- Keep customers in your corner. Praise customers when they cooperate with outlined sanitation and integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.
