When booking a pest control job you should make sure that:
You’ve checked the type of pest
You've asked if client tried to treat the pest already
You’ve requested information on the period the infestation has been active

What is the difference between ant and cockroach treatment?
There is no difference, we treat them the same way- we spray.
For both we use gel- the difference is that cockroaches eat it directly and then are eaten by others thus causing a domino effect. Ants on the other hand carry the bait to the nest where the queen and the others feed from it thus exterminating the majority of the population.
Both of the pests need to be treated with at least 2 visits, if not 3.
