Question 1

Why am I seeing roaches in a clean kitchen in Dallas?

Accepted Answer

Pests require moisture and warmth just as much as food. During dry summer spells, American and oriental roaches enter clean homes through plumbing drains and exterior doors solely in search of water, while German roaches are frequently carried indoors inside cardboard delivery boxes.

Question 2

Are over-the-counter ultrasonic pest repellers effective?

Accepted Answer

Independent entomological studies show that ultrasonic sound emitters have minimal long-term impact on insect or rodent activity. Pests rapidly habituate to ambient sound frequencies, making physical exclusion and targeted IPM baits far more reliable.

Question 3

What should I do if I find rodent droppings in my pantry?

Accepted Answer

Wear rubber gloves, spray the area with disinfectant, wipe the droppings with disposable paper towels, and dispose of the waste in an outdoor trash bin. Avoid sweeping or vacuuming dry droppings, which can aerosolize airborne pathogens.
