Pest Prevention FAQs

Water bugs are also known as Roaches, and there are several methods US Pest Protection uses to eliminate them from your home or business:

• Caulk all penetrations through ground level walls.
• Stop water leaks, screen equipment overflow drains, and take overflow water away from buildings; keep drain traps full or capped.
• Remove rotting leaves from window wells.
• Move garbage cans out of preferred moist habitat.
• Ventilate moist spaces.

Generally speaking, control measures should concentrate on the outside of the building and points of entry. This is called a "perimeter or barrier" treatment.
