Lockers are a important place for your employees to safely store their personal items and food. The only problem is, without a proper Standard Operation Procedure these lockers become points of roach infestation!
Now these lockers look great but if you have many employees, chances are that at least one of them will eventually bring in a roach that can infest them all.
Lockers should not be used as permanent storage! Employees should empty them at the end of every shift and leave unlocked so that they can be treated.
We have accounts that have lockers locked for over 10 years from previous employees and nobody has a key!
This Restaurant Customer always complained about roaches around their Coca cola Refrigeration Unit. I wonder why?
Want to keep cockroaches out of Resident’s rooms?
When admitting them, check their electronic equipment like TV’s, radios, CD Players, telephones, etc.
If their previous home was infested…chances are they will bring their pests with them.
Easy solution!
Just turn the items over, check out the vents and open battery compartments for traces of cockroaches, cockroach eggs or droppings. Believe me, you’ll know if they are present!
WHAT TO DO?
Place items in plastic trash can liners and seal until your Service Tech can Treat them.
or
Have relatives take the items back and replace with pest free items.
But, If we treat them…the dried out roaches and egg capsules will shed onto the tabletops later and could cause a Health Code violation.
Health Inspectors write you up for dead roaches as well as live ones.
Better to get rid of Infested Electronic items.
I took these pics of german roaches feeding on some Maxforce Magnum bait above a floor drain- under a oven in the cooking area of a new restaurant that we serviced. Some of the wings of the roaches are disfigured by a previous use of a insect growth regulator. This restaurant was totally infested in the cooking and dish washing areas and The Maxforce totally cleaned up the problem in less than a week! Good stuff!
I was servicing a small Burger restaurant located on the corner of a intersection…
It was in the same parking lot of a small strip mall. It was night time and I was following a ant trail that led towards the mall. When I got to the storefronts I noticed lots of Black Widow webs along the front of the stores. Apparently they were coming out at night and hiding in the day….
I whipped out my trusty digital camera and snapped a few pics. One Black widow and a Brown Widow.
Here’s one I just added… I believe it’s a Hobo Spider.
This video is a little dated (we don’t use chlordane or DDT any longer) but the info on common cockroaches in the home still stands up!

OK, I know I’m giving away my secrets…but I’m gettin old and have more Customers than I want so here goes.
When treating Patient rooms in Nursing Homes A good idea, instead of placing bait traps is to place a sticky monitor.
Reason? They both do the same job but the Monitor is superior because
1. It traps the pest and keeps it becoming visible
2. When you inspect- it lets you know their might be a problem if a pest is present.
The trick is to make the traps invisible to the rooms residents and guests.
Over the years and treating different nightstands I have found approaches that get the best results and also prevents The Patients items being “stuck” to the traps.
Also, the best thing for a Serviceman is that for every roach that is caught on a trap…means the less likelihood that you’ll be called back at a bad time for a callback! Plus a little drop of Maxforce Magnum on the edge to help attract roaches also helps.
If the roach ate bait then in all likelihood he would expose itself and you would be called..
I get called for as many dead roaches as I do live ones!
OK, It’s 50/50 but we need the breaks!
