“After my grandmother passed, we went down to clean out her home and prepare it for sale, which was her wishes,” Diane said. “Obviously you know that sometimes this can be a big, messy job, and I was prepared for that. What I was not prepared for – and frankly was shocked by – was the cockroaches. When my sister and I went into the house, there were just all of these bugs everywhere. The kitchen was crawling with cockroaches. They were in the bathroom – floating in the toilet bowl, inside the light fixture – it was awful.”
“So I went back to our hotel room and called my husband. He said just get a can of Raid and deal with it. Well, this was more than I was going to handle with just a spray can. After I was done talking with him, my next step was to Google find the best roach exterminator near me.
Understanding Cockroach Removal
It’s really tough to get rid of cockroaches on your own. If you have days, weeks, and potentially even months to address the situation, boric acid, diatomaceous earth, and baking soda can go a long way to reducing the cockroach population.
But if you’re in a situation like Diane and you need the cockroaches removed from a property on a very short timeline, you’ll want to call in a professional exterminator. They will locate and eliminate cockroach populations. If you know you will be selling a property, it’s very important to achieve a pest-free status very quickly. The products used by professional exterminators for cockroach removal are pet, people and planet safe and will not damage the property.
“I called the local exterminators, and they came in right away to deal with the problem. I really appreciated how quick and responsive they were, since we had limited time to accomplish the things we needed to do. I hope I never have to deal with a situation like that again, but if I do, now I know what to do – call in the professionals, fast!”
