Ants and Cockroaches in the KitchenThe following items need to be done prior to the treatment1. Remove ALL items from every kitchen cupboard, drawer, and shelf. This includes china cabinets and shelves containing cookbooks. Failure to empty out every cupboard, drawer, and shelf will VOID any guarantee unless prior arrangements have been made with the technician or office.2. Place dishes, silverware, pots, and pans in another room either in plastic bags or covered with sheets. Any food removed from the cabinets must either be in sealed containers or placed in the refrigerator. 3. Remove shelf paper (except for contact paper) and clean the cupboards prior to the treatment. Remove all items from medicine cabinets and from under sink areas. 4. If pests have been seen in closets, remove all items from these areas. 5. Remove all pets from the premises. Cover any aquariums and unplug their air pumps. We are not responsible for your fish. 6. DO NOT move your furniture unless directed to by our office or our technician. 7. Be prepared to stay out of the building and off the property for 3 hours. Infants and elderly people should remain out for 5 hours. 8. Payment is due at the time of service unless previous arrangements have been made. The following items need to be done after the treatment1. Ventilate your house before reentry if there is an odor present. Not all chemicals we use have an odor. Charcoal filters on air conditioners may be affected by our treatment, so do not use air conditioner to ventilate the building. Also, be sure to check smoke alarms to make sure they are still functional.2. Please allow food and dish shelves to dry. If they are not dry in 3 hours, wipe off any excess. Either way, cover them with shelf paper or newspaper before replacing items removed. Do not wash the shelves for 2 weeks. 3. Floors should be mopped lightly. Counters, sink tops, and bread boards should be cleaned before use. 4. DO NOT allow children or pets near the treated surfaces until they have dried. Wash toys before children play with them and pets' food and water containers. 5. Wait until early the next morning before watering. Once dry, our chemicals will not wash away. Watering in the early a.m. helps avoid lawn fungus and saves water. 6. Please allow a period of time for the treatment to take effect. It may take two weeks for any significant reduction in population to be seen. The infestation may even appear to become worse in the first two weeks. Sometimes regular service is needed for control. Consult your technician for more information. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS MAY AFFECT ANY GUARANTEE OFFERED |
