Photo Album: Intense German Cockroach Clean-out in Wall, NJ

Recently, I did a German cockroach intensive clean out at a home in Wall, NJ

High Infestation in Kitchen

Beginning my inspection, I noticed that the German cockroach infestation was confined to the kitchen.

The Dishwasher

They were inside the inside and outside of the dishwasher...

The Outlet

and even inside the kitchen counter outlet. German cockroaches can be found throughout a building, but show a preference for warm and humid places.

Growth Regulator

I treated the baseboards, cracks, and crevices with an EPA registered growth regulator that affects the cockroaches reproductive system and prevents them from reaching adulthood.

Knocks Them Down

This treatment will knock down the cockroach population to a manageable level

Microinjection Machine

Next, I used a microinjection machine which sprays a very fine mist of an oil based product into the cracks and crevices where the cockroaches may be hiding. This product chases the cockroaches out of hiding and forces them to the areas that were treated with the growth regulator.

Monitoring Devices

I then set up several glue monitor traps and scheduled several follow-up visits to monitor the infestation and apply any additional treatments if needed.
