Photo Album: Cockroaches Grabbing a Snack in the Fridge in Mantoloking, NJ
Top of the Fridge
As we inspected the apartment, we found a ton of cockroaches in the kitchen and the bathroom. There was even a large number of cockroach nymphs on top of the fridge!
More Under the Appliances
With the landlords permission, we checked behind the motor box of the fridge and underneath the oven and found even more cockroaches!
Flushing Out the Cockroaches
First, with the landlords permission, we carefully disposed of all the contaminated items in the kitchen. Next, we applied a knockdown aerosol product to every single crack, crevice, appliance, and baseboard throughout the apartment. This product flushes the cockroaches out of hiding and rapidly exterminates them.
Eliminated the Cockroaches
Afterward, we treated the kitchen and the bathroom with an EPA registered insect growth regulator that is combined with a residual product. This treatment affects the cockroaches' reproductive system and prevents them from reaching adulthood.
Last Few Steps
Next, we placed several monitoring devices throughout the apartment. Lastly, we scheduled several follow-up visits to monitor the infestation and repeat the treatment process until the cockroaches are no longer present in the apartment.
