Struggling with a stubborn cockroach problem? With the simplicity of using social media and instant access to reviews found on sites such as Yelp, cockroach sightings can be publicized quickly and damage your reputation. We’ve all had accounts that appear clean with ongoing service, but have frequent and inexplicable roach sightings.

My advice is to break your routine, and stop doing the same thing repeatedly. Take time to identify conditions that might be conducive to infestations. Focus on undisturbed areas, such as an out-of-commission oven being used to store kitchen towels, a broken ice maker used as a platform for stacking boxes, or a cabinet in the hostess area filled with clutter. These types of places are easily overlooked when locked into a routine.
