If you truly wish to rid your home of unwanted pests then there are a few things that you must do prior to your initial treatment.

1. Remove items from areas of infestations. These areas generally include the kitchen, bathroom and pantry cabinets.

2. Remove shelf paper unless it’s contact paper in the kitchen and bathroom.

3. All counter tops cleared except small kitchen appliances (blenders, mixers and toasters) may stay for treatment

4. Put exposed food items in the refrigerator, or place in sealed plastic bags.

5. Take a mild cleaning solution and wipe down drawers, cabinets, and counter tops prior to our arrival.
