Step 1: Pinpoint the Roach Problem

To get the best results, you need to know how bad the problem is.

Common signs:

• Seeing roaches at night

• Droppings that look like black pepper

• Egg cases in cabinets or behind appliances

• A musty smell in the kitchen or laundry area

• Roaches showing up in more than one room

Fix4U starts with a pest inspection to find where roaches hide, where their nests are, and areas that are at high risk.

Step 2: Focus on Kitchen Roaches First

Most roach problems start in the kitchen.

Why kitchens are appealing to roaches:

• Food crumbs and grease

• Warm appliances

• Water from sinks and dishwashers

• Dark places to hide

Fix4U pays close attention to:

• Under the fridge and oven

• Inside cabinets

• Behind splashbacks

• Around pipes

This is key to managing roaches.

Step 3: Use Professional Treatments (Not Just Sprays)

Sprays you buy yourself often fail because:

• They only kill the roaches you see

• Eggs survive

• Roaches just move deeper into the walls

• The problem comes back even worse

What Really Works:

• Gel baits that roaches take back to their nests

• Treatments focused on where they hide

• Insect control products that are safe for the environment

• Coming back to check and make sure the problem is gone

This is how you eliminate roaches for good.

Step 4: Cut Off Food and Water

Roaches need food and water to live.

Control Food

• Seal all food containers

• Clean up crumbs and grease every day

• Don’t leave pet food out overnight

• Empty trash cans often

Control Water

• Fix leaky faucets

• Dry sinks at night

• Check the lines to your fridge and dishwasher

• Control water in the laundry room and bathrooms

This helps prevent pests long-term.

Step 5: Get Rid of Hiding Spots

Roaches love clutter and tight spaces.

Reduce hiding spots by:

• Getting rid of stacks of cardboard and paper

• Cleaning behind appliances

• Decluttering cabinets

• Organizing storage areas

Less hiding places = better results from treatment.

Step 6: Seal Up Entry Points

Roaches get into homes through:

• Cracks in walls and floors

• Gaps around pipes

• Gaps around doors and windows

• Roof and wall spaces

Fix4U finds and seals these spots so roaches can’t get back in after treatment.
