Roach Baiting and a clean kitchen

Roach Baiting and a clean kitchen:
German cockroaches are small, so they tend to go more toward gel baits, and less so to solid, larger granular baits. The gel is moist and attracts them, and the inert ingredients contain the carbohydrates and proteins their diets need. They then inadvertently consume the active ingredient in feeding on the baits and die.
But, in order for the baits to work, there has to be little food competition, which unfortunately poorly sanitized kitchens provide. You may or may not get cooperation with the client in cleaning the kitchen. Education about cleaning and removing clutter is important. Baits are effective, but they may require persistence, patience, reapplication and repeated reminders to keep a clean kitchen to help with the eradication process.

Prevent Diseases Spread by Rodents

Rats and mice are known to spread many diseases. These diseases can spread to people directly, through handling of rodents; contact with rodent feces, urine, or saliva (such as through breathing in air or eating food that is contaminated with rodent waste); or rodent bites. Rodents can also carry ticks, mites, or fleas that can act as vectors to spread diseases between rodents and people.
Infestation of rodents in and around the home is the main reason disease spreads from rodents to people. The best way to prevent diseases spread by rodents is to practice effective rodent control in and around your home.

Do Fleas die in the winter?

Fleas thrive around 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and it’s around this temperature when they complete their entire life cycle within just a few weeks.
One adult flea can lay many eggs in this short time. But cold temperatures don’t kill flea eggs they just slow down the life cycle. Fleas can hatch all through the winter.
The most common flea species, typically overwinters on hosts or in protected areas (carpet, bedding, etc.), provided temperatures are mild.
Adult fleas can be found on pets and wildlife throughout the winter.
As temperatures rise in the spring, immature stages of fleas are able to survive in the environment, allowing for adult flea populations to rapidly increase.
