What should I expect from cockroach treatment?
By Sterex Pest Control Team
A professional cockroach treatment should include inspection, prep instructions, targeted product application, harbourage treatment, sanitation and access recommendations, and clear follow-up expectations. Severe activity may need more than one visit.
What happens before treatment?
The technician should ask where activity is seen, check kitchens and bathrooms, look for harbourage, and explain prep. Clearing cabinets, reducing clutter, and avoiding DIY sprays over baits can improve results.
What happens during treatment?
Treatment may include residual spray, bait, dusting, Actisol for suitable voids, and targeted work around cracks, appliances, plumbing penetrations, baseboards, and warm hidden zones.
What should happen after treatment?
You should receive re-entry guidance, cleaning instructions, and a realistic timeline. Seeing reduced activity first is normal; heavy infestations can require follow-up because eggs and hidden roaches may emerge later.
