hi my name's Peter power and I'm the
proud owner of power past control today
we're gonna be talking about Rhodes
transfer from one unit from one
apartment to the next right I had a
customer that called me in today and she
was asking me well you know I'm moving I
didn't the month and I don't want to
transfer roaches from one apartment to
my new apartment and how can we do that
she was trying to search for some
information online she couldn't find it
so I decided to make this video to help
others that are trying to search for
this information so when you're moving
from one place to the next the key thing
is to if you have clothing of course you
probably will have clothing laundry
everything just go to laundromat pour it
but everything in a garbage bag dump
everything in the laundry wash it dry it
and then the key thing is the garbage
bag that you came in with you switch it
and you put a fresh clean bag the reason
for that you don't want any roads
transfer from the clothing that's that
was in the old units to be transferred
in new units and that's why you use a
fresh clean bag second thing I would get
plastic totes you can go to any of those
home builder stores and get those those
plastic totes that have the grooves in
it that's designed to be stacked the
reason why is that you know with a
plastic bin there's not many places for
the roach to high in the nooks and
crannies where as in corrugated
cardboard boxes roaches can hide in the
grooves it's not recommended in my
opinion I would I would prefer that any
client that I that I'm recommending
would use plastic totes and then when
and also what I also like you to do as
well is to inspect your furniture like
you know nightstands dinette tables flip
it upside down look in the cracks and
crevices some of the tell-tale signs
that you'll see a cockroach infestation
is these little tiny dots in the corners
of the tables and and chairs or
nightstands it looks like someone took a
sharpie and poked it on the wood it's
it's red flag it's obvious that there's
some sort of roach infestation then what
you might have to do is you know look
for an appropriate label product that
can be applied to those items to get rid
of the roaches and lastly
when you're moving from point A to point
B do a visual inspection when you're
taking it out of the unit out of the
units that you're leaving and going to
the new units look at every single item
check it once check it twice check it
three times and visually inspect
everything to make sure that you're not
transferring any items that were from
the old unit to the new unit and when
you get to the new unit take your time
to unpack everything don't rush to
unpack everything because sometimes when
you're in a hurry you might not pay
attention that's there's some roaches in
the electronics and so forth so you may
not be able to spray inside the
electronics so you might have to get
like some sort of air compressor or some
sort of a canned air compressor where it
can try and force some of the roaches
out of the hiding spots and then also
with some electronics that you may have
you might want to keep it in a separate
area out of the kitchen because your
first instinct if you have a toaster a
microwave a blender is to put it in the
kitchen because that's where you're
gonna make food right so you might want
to put it in a separate area for the
next little while it has a buffer just
to be on the safe side so that the
roaches don't transfer in the kitchen
and start an infestation there okay if
you follow these simple tips these will
this will give you the opportunity to
reduce your roaches transfer from from
the old unit to the new unit thank you
