Identify the cockroach before choosing treatment

A cockroach sighting in your Lebanon, MO home during summer does not establish that heat drove it indoors. Ask for identification and an assessment of where activity is occurring. Different species can require different responses.

German cockroaches live and breed indoors. See UC IPM's cockroach guide.

Prepare for the visit

  • Record where and when roaches appear.
  • Photograph a specimen where practical.
  • Tell us about leaks, recent deliveries and previous treatments.
  • Ask what access is needed before moving appliances or emptying cabinets.

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.
