German Roach Control

21. How do I get rid of German roaches?

German roaches are difficult to control because they reproduce quickly and hide in kitchens, cabinets, appliances, and other protected areas. Professional treatment combined with sanitation, monitoring, and follow-up service is often more effective than relying on household sprays alone.

22. Why are German roaches so difficult to eliminate?

German roaches reproduce rapidly and can hide in very small spaces. They can also spread throughout kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, cabinets, and wall voids, making established infestations difficult to control with a single treatment.

23. Where do German roaches hide?

German roaches commonly hide in kitchens and other warm areas near food and moisture. Common locations include cabinets, appliances, refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, outlets, and other protected spaces.

Established German roach infestations can be difficult to eliminate, but professional treatment, sanitation, monitoring, and continued prevention can significantly reduce and control the population.

27. Why shouldn't I just spray German roaches myself?

Over-the-counter sprays may kill individual roaches without addressing the larger infestation. In some situations, improper pesticide use can scatter roaches into other areas or interfere with professional treatment.

​

Bed bugs are commonly found around mattresses, box springs, bed frames, furniture, cracks, crevices, and other areas where people sleep or rest.

Not necessarily. Whether furniture or bedding should be discarded depends on its condition and the extent of the infestation. Professional inspection can help determine what should be treated or removed.

Yes. Kuma's bed bug service includes follow-up inspection and additional treatment when necessary based on the condition of the infestation.

Kuma currently lists mosquito service from March through October, covering the primary mosquito season in Georgia.

​

Rodent & Wildlife Control

41. Does pest control get rid of mice?

Professional pest control can address mouse activity, but long-term rodent control usually requires identifying and addressing how rodents are entering the structure.

42. How does rodent exclusion work?

Rodent exclusion involves identifying openings where rodents can enter a building and sealing those entry points to prevent additional access. Kuma lists rodent exclusion at $1,800–$2,049.

43. Why are rodents getting into my attic?

Rodents can enter attics through roof gaps, vents, soffits, fascia, utility penetrations, or other openings. Once inside, they may use insulation and protected spaces for nesting.

44. Why are rats getting into my attic, basement, or crawl space?

Rats can enter through relatively small openings around foundations, vents, pipes, rooflines, crawl spaces, and other structural gaps. Food, water, shelter, and favorable conditions can encourage continued activity.

45. What is wildlife exclusion?

Wildlife exclusion is the process of identifying and sealing openings that allow animals to enter a structure. The goal is to prevent wildlife from re-entering the attic, crawl space, roofline, or other areas of the building.

46. Will sealing entry points prevent rodents from coming back?

Properly sealing accessible entry points can significantly reduce the opportunity for rodents to re-enter a structure. Exclusion should be combined with addressing conditions that attract or support rodent activity.
