Waterbugs in My House!

Are Waterbugs a Roach?



 While roaches (often also known as palmetto bugs or Waterbugs) generally prefer to live outside, they are annoying to homeowners everywhere Waterbugs are attracted to damp indoor environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Fortunately, a few key extermination practices and a few lifestyle tweaks might help you in the quest for how to get rid of waterbugs for good.

 If you’ve seen one of these insects in or around your home, it’s important to correctly identify which bug it is before you can start an effective pest control plan. Cockroaches can be a significant pest problem for homes and businesses while an indoor water bug is probably a fluke (or is it?).

Why choose Universal Pest & Termite for your roach pest control needs?

 

 

Universal Pest & Termite is a family owned and operated company. Which is based right here in Virginia Beach with offices on the Peninsula and Southside. We believe the best way to control roaches is to keep them out of your house in the first place which is why we offer our exclusive Border-Guard service. Our program comes with FREE INTERIOR SERVICES if needed as well as FREE EMERGENCY SERVICES if needed.

Universal Pest will take steps to mitigate cockroach problems through barrier exclusion. Barrier exclusion involves preventing cockroaches from entering the home through small cracks in walls, gaps near electric sockets and switch plates, and up through drains. We use a silicone-based caulk to seal these openings. Our technicians are trained to identify the type of roach infestation you may have. This is very important when establishing a program that best fits your needs. For example, a German Roach may be best controlled with a residual, but an American Roach should be controlled with baits.


Outside Only Pest Service for Roaches 


We offer outside pest control only services in addition to our exclusive Year-Round Pest Protection Program. We believe the best way to control pests in your home is to keep them out in the first place. Universal Pest & Termite does this by limiting the amount of pesticide applied.

How do we control pest better by reducing pesticide? We incorporate IPM as part of our standard service. Pest professionals who understand the habits, needs, and lifestyle of unwanted pests  use IPM (Integrated Pest Management) as a strategy.

This is accomplished by sealing and caulking entry points along your foundation such as plumbing lines, HVAC lines, dryer vents and electrical lines. Additionally, we inspect for food sources and moisture issues that may be contributing to your infestation.
