Address plumbing and pest concerns separately
For a Lebanon, MO property with wastewater backup, drainage problems or unexplained odors, contact an appropriate plumbing or cleanup professional. Cockroaches or flies do not, by themselves, prove a sewer defect. A pest inspection cannot replace a plumbing diagnosis.
What to report
- The location and timing of any actual backup or leak.
- Which drains are slow or where odors are noticed.
- Photos and locations of pest sightings.
- Recent repairs and pest treatments.
Do not enter contaminated areas to collect insects. Tell the pest technician about cleanup and access restrictions before a visit.
Confirm the pest and possible source
Some small flies develop in damp organic material, but identifying the species and source takes more than noticing them near a drain. German cockroaches should not automatically be labeled sewer pests. Discuss the findings before selecting treatment.
Discuss preparation and the service plan
Explore cockroach control or fly control according to the identified pest. Plank Termite & Pest Control can explain the proposed work, access needed and follow-up. Keep food-contact areas protected and follow the preparation and reentry instructions for your service.
Keep food stored securely, clean spills and arrange needed leak repairs. Ask which cleaning tasks to complete before treatment and which treated areas to leave undisturbed afterward.
Service frequency and included work are confirmed in your estimate. If you are comparing Perimeter Guard packages, discuss these pest concerns specifically.
