Everyone has heard this before; "If you see one roach, you have hundreds more you don't see." While in some cases that may be true (especially dealing with German cockroaches), that is not always the case. A truer statement is that only a small percentage of the number of cockroaches in a house are actually seen. So, if you have only seen one cockroach all year, you probably don't have much going on. However, if you see cockroaches on a regular basis, you should probably get someone to come take a look at your home to make sure you don't have a bigger problem.

The truth is that both work well. Some people prefer liquid termite treatments because that is the "old-school" way of stopping termites. Some people prefer baits because they are less intrusive and always active. Both treatments work no matter what anyone's opinion is. This is why Black Pest offers both treatments as options for our customers.
