Waterbugs (Oriental Cockroach)
Description: Adults are about 1/2 inch to 2 inches long. Very black and shiny. Usually adults are 1/2 inch wide and are found in any area of the home. They live in dark, damp areas, such as basements, crawl spaces, under porches, and like to follow water pipes into homes or through baseboards. They will not infest cabinets and food like german roaches, but do like to eat about anything. They are nocturnal, so they come out mostly at night.
Treatment: Bug-A-Boo uses treatment products that are applied to baseboards, water pipes under sinks, basements and outside the perimeter of the home.
Preparation:
- Occupants do not need to leave the residence.
- As a precaution, pets and small children should be outside during treatment.
- Fish, birds or reptiles need to be covered.
- Treatment products have no order.
- Products do not stain carpets.
Precautions: If needing treatment in food handling establishments, like a restaurant, bakery, meet market, etc., a treatment time must be scheduled when food is not being prepared.
