The initial step to the elimination of insects in your residence hall is sanitation. All insects need food, moisture, and harborage in order to survive. The pest control operator's success at an individual's residence will be determined by the resident's housekeeping.

The two most troublesome insects found in residence halls and apartments are ants and roaches. Both of these can be completely eliminated, but not with pesticides alone. The outcome solely resides on the sanitation of the individual residences; below are some steps each of our students can practice in order to be insect free:

1. Wash dirty dishes immediately after eating. Do not leave dirty dishes on table, counter or place in sink. After washing dishes, drain sink; do not leave water standing.
2. Vacuum on a regular basis. (Not just before your family visits.)
3. Do not leave chips, cookies, cereal, etc. that have interior bags left open. Either seal with an appropriate sized zip lock bag, or place in the refrigerator.
4. After consuming beverages, rinse containers and dispose of in an appropriate manner.
5. When cleaning room/apartment, do not place trash bag outside door until leaving the premises. Place in dumpster immediately.

By following these simple procedures you will be able to assist in your pest control success!
