To prevent a cockroach infestation in your restaurant, empty trash daily, clean crumbs and spills from floors and sideboards and call McCauley Services

Once again, McCauley Services has been inundated with phone calls from business owners and managers in Little Rock, Hot Springs and throughout Arkansas regarding the pesky, little scavengers known as cockroaches. Roaches, like many other insects and rodents are simply seeking food, shelter, water and humidity and there is no place better for these creatures to meet all of their needs in just one stop than the kitchen of your restaurant, bar or school cafeteria. McCauley would like to remind business owners experiencing a cockroach problem that they are always a just a phone call away, but to discourage a cockroach infestation from occurring in your facility, there are a few simple things you can do to prevent cockroaches from invading your business:

• Empty trash receptacles daily; use trash cans with tightly sealing lids

• Keep food stored in plastic or glass containers with lids or store in the refrigerator

• Clean food crumbs and spills immediately from surfaces and sinks

• Dispose of empty cardboard boxes

• Use screens in windows and install draft sweeps onto doors

• Place mesh screen over drains, which is a common entry point for roaches

• Get rid of clutter where cockroaches can hide

• Keep all areas dry

• Seal cracks and crevices with high-quality caulking; areas of concern would be: around door and window moldings, inside cabinets and storage closets, around baseboards and the back splash near the sink

Cockroaches can be very difficult to prevent and get rid of from restaurants and other commercial facilities, so if your best attempts to keep roaches from your facilities is failing, our Prescribed Commercial Program is the ideal solution. Not only will our commercial pest control program eliminate cockroaches and other common invaders including ants, flies and mice, it will identify and correct the conditions in which these pests thrive to help you prevent any future infestations from occurring.
