Roach Clean Out

The Difference Between a 1x Roach Service and a Full Building Roach Clean Out

Done Right Pest Solutions offers this full building Roach Clean Out service for apartment buildings of about 8 units or greater. We offer lesser per unit costs to treat the whole building for cockroaches.

We know the nature of cockroaches, and when one unit has cockroaches, it is important to check surrounding units: up, down, side to side, and sometimes across the hall. But doing pockets of 1x Roach Services throughout a building for several years can be costly and frustrating. It often leads to paying more in the long-term for pest control.

This is where our full building Roach Clean Out originated. We began offering this service as a comprehensive approach to clean out the whole building and then to set it up on an on-going routine service schedule.

While a full building Roach Clean Out is one of our more costly service, it is the fastest way to eradicate cockroaches and increase your tenants satisfaction and quality of life.

So what is included in a full building Roach Clean Out?

Full Building Roach Clean Out:

• Absolutely no prep work for the tenant is required (we prefer no prep work is done at all).
• Inspection of each unit
• Full treatment of a unit for cockroaches: knockdown spray to the backs of appliances, baiting in the cabinets, and monitoring devices placed throughout.
• At least 1 2-week follow-up is scheduled
• A 3 month warranty is given from the date of first service, but our technicians will continue follow-ups at no additional cost until the unit is cleared of roaches.

You may ask, what if a couple of the units don’t have cockroaches, do you still treat them?

Yes, absolutely we still treat them! We treat to ensure that no roaches spread from surrounding units we’ve treated into these units with no roaches. And we treat the units and place monitoring devices that we check at follow-ups.

Sometimes a tenant has sworn that they do not have roaches, but when we come to check the monitoring devices in 2 weeks, sure enough, it has roaches. Roaches are nocturnal, so sometimes it can be months before someone realizes they have roaches. We wrote the Guide to Cockroach Reproduction, Behaviors, Life Cycle, and Control and what we do works!

Okay, so a full building Roach Clean Out is the full building. What is included in a 1x Roach Service?

1x Roach Service:

• Absolutely no prep work for the tenant is required (we prefer no prep work is done at all).
• Inspection of the unit(s)
• Full treatment of a unit for cockroaches: knockdown spray to the backs of appliances, baiting in the cabinets, and monitoring devices placed throughout.
• At least 1 2-week follow-up is scheduled
• A 3 month warranty is given from the date of first service, but our technicians will continue follow-ups at no additional cost until the unit is cleared of roaches.

So 1x Roach Service is great if I had 1 or a handful of units that have roaches, whereas a full building Roach Cleanout is great if all of the units have roaches?

Pretty much. We do recommend a full building Roach Clean Out whenever more than half of the building is complaining of roaches.

So what does something like this cost?

Well, we don’t give our pricing on our website, and each property is different. We base our pricing on each individual building’s needs. But, for some math’s sake, let’s give you a scenario.

Let’s say you have 4 apartment buildings in your complex and each building has 24 units. So let’s say, for the sake of easy math, that our per unit cost is $100. $100 x 96 units = $9,600 total or $2,400 per building. Now, these are not accurate numbers, just something to give you an idea of how our pricing would go.

What if I have 4 apartment buildings with 24 units each building, but only 2 of the 4 buildings have over 50% complaints of roaches. Could I only purchase a full building Roach Clean Out for 2 of the buildings, or do I need to do all 4 buildings?

You can certainly do only 2 buildings, that is just fine. Each property and even each building has different needs. We have done a 1x Mouse Clean Out, a 1x Roach Clean Out, a 1x Mouse and Roach Clean Out, and a 1x Bed Bug Clean Out for different buildings and different properties.

You don’t require prep work?

Nope! And you might want to check out our FAQs, or just give us a call. We don’t require any prep work because we don’t want the bugs to get spooked into hiding. We want to see the full level of activity so we can treat accordingly. It is the most effective and efficient way to do pest control! Plus, less work for you!

What’s the best way to tell if I need a full building Roach Clean Out?
