APPLICATION GUIDE FOR Pro-Joes Roach Bait

This guide is for the initial clean out of the structure.  Once the structure has been treated in its entirety with bait, monthly treatments should certainly not be necessary, but minor new activity does occasionally occur with high traffic.  If signs of infestation reappear during monthly inspections, treat only affected areas. In most instances, re-treatment of the entire structure is not necessary until the annual renewal date. In the case of rapid turnover with tenants, treat moderately following each move out.

REVOLUTIONARY

Roaches and Ants feast on it then die!  Application is quick and easy.  No cleaning of cabinets, no fumes, no odor, no mess, and no special equipment is needed. Pro-Joe-S Roach Bait is non-flammable, non-corrosive, have no inhalation hazards, and are all classified as Category IV, the lowest EPA toxicity rating.

EFFECTIVE

Laboratory and clinical tests by leading researchers prove that Pro-Joe-S Roach Bait® is effective in eliminating Asian, American, and German roaches for one year or more, and there hasn’t been an ant found yet that doesn’t love Pro-Joe-S Ant Bait® to death!

COST SAVING 

One application is usually enough.  In the case of extraordinary infestation, one additional treatment may be necessary following initial clean out.  Following the final application, one full year of relief from cockroaches and ants should definitely be expected!
