• Keep all food and standing water out of the birds’ reach
• Make roosting and nesting areas inhospitable by filling in access to voids and sloping resting areas.

Upgrade your approach to roach control. Try our Stick-All Glue Trap

Like all animals, cockroaches need food and water to survive in and around structures. By reducing access to food and water, cockroach populations become stressed to survive in urban environments. Poor sanitation, inadequate maintenance and overcrowding in apartments can create chronic cockroach infestations. Keeping away indoor cockroaches often entails removal of materials such as paper bags and boxes, newspapers, excessive household goods, litter and any other items that produce clutter. To get rid of any roach problem, use the Kness Stick-All Glue Trap
