Pests We Treat Photo Album: Cockroaches Close Down Restaurant in Metuchen, NJ
This Was Why
There was a massive infestation of cockroaches roaming throughout the kitchen, and the poor sanitation was a major contribution to the problem!
Food Under the Equipment
During our inspection we found a buildup of expired food underneath several pieces of equipment, garbage cans full of food & other debris that had been left our for quite a while...
So Much Grease On the Walls
...and a massive amount of grease all over the walls. We told the owner that everything that was contaminated must be thrown away immediately. Additionally, everything that isn't nailed down must be removed for an intensive treatment and then cleaned thoroughly. We also informed him that needs to immediately institute a new cleaning procedure in order to prevent any future and additional pest infestations.
First Part of Cockroach Treatment
First, we treated the entire kitchen with a residual application that's combined with an EPA registered insect growth regulator. This treatment affects the cockroaches' reproductive system and prevents them from reaching adulthood.
Part 2 of Cockroach Treatment
Once that was done, we applied a knockdown aerosol product to every single crack, crevice, appliance, and baseboard throughout the kitchen. This will not only exterminate the cockroaches quickly, but also flush them out of hiding & into the growth regulator that we just applied.
Keep Coming Back
Next, we installed several pheromone monitoring devices throughout the kitchen. Finally, we scheduled a number of return visits to monitor the infestation and, if needed, apply any additional treatments.
