Go Green’s Four-Step Pest Control Plan:

1. Observe and Identify: Begin with a thorough inspection. Locate potential entry points, activity zones, and nesting sites. If you encounter sawdust with carpenter ants, immediate professional intervention is recommended due to the potential structural damage.

2. Sanitation: Implement stringent sanitation practices. Secure all food sources—especially pet food—and perform routine surface cleaning. Roaches are attracted to protein-based residues, while ants are primarily drawn to sugar.

3. Seal Entry Points: Use high-quality caulk to seal gaps around foundations, pipes, and other vulnerable areas. This step prevents further pest ingress and isolates the infestation.

4. Bait Application (Most Effective Method): Utilize strategically placed baits containing food and slow-acting insecticide. For ants, the bait is carried back to the colony, resulting in colony-wide eradication. For cockroaches, the bait is shared, effectively spreading the toxicant. Focus bait placement in areas with the highest pest activity.

Avoid:

• Contact Kill Sprays: These may disrupt pest colonies, causing them to scatter and expand the infestation.

• Foggers or Bug Bombs: These treatments fail to penetrate hidden spaces and may pose a safety hazard due to the potential for explosion.

• “Natural” Treatments (e.g., Diatomaceous Earth): While often promoted as a natural solution, these can be less effective than targeted baits and can create unnecessary mess.

When to Contact Go Green Pest Control:
If the infestation persists after two weeks of baiting and there is no significant reduction in activity, it’s time to consult with a pest control professional to assess the situation and apply more advanced control methods.
