Overview
Crack and Crevice Pest Control
Crack and Crevice pest control refers to the method of puffing small amounts of insecticide chemical dust by way of a hand duster directly into cracks and crevices that serve as harborages and highways for crawling pests. Insects will not detect the dust, but pick up small particles as they move along tight spaces and eventually ingest those fatal particles by absorption or ingestion when they clean themselves.
Target Pests
Crack and Crevice Pest Control is most effective against crawling pests that hide away underneath baseboards, inside walls, and other tight spaces. These pests include cockroaches, ants, earwigs, silverfish, firebrats, centipedes, millipedes, and spiders.
