Palmetto bugs in sink drain.
The bugs are bugging us. If we forget to put a stopper in the drain at night, there will be a bug in the sink occasionally the next morning.
Do not want to put any spray in the sink as it may contaminate dishes, etc. They apparently live somewhere in the drain system. Short of removing the drains to find them, does anyone have any suggestions? |
You need the assistance of a pest control company.... fast

I have also heard from my pest control guy that the bugs do use the plumbing, and he told me to run the hot water occasionally in sinks and tubs that are not often used (such as your guest bathroom). |
Pour a box of baking soda down it followed by the bucket of boiling water. It will help "un-clog" the drain, freshen it as well as help get rid of those bugs.

No boiling water in garbage disposal. It will damage the seals. Check you manual.

My guess is the roaches are going to the sink drain for water,n but are actually living elsewhere.

. I would call Massey or Deans and sign them up and keep them on speed dial. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a pest service here for that very good reason. And then there are ants...and other annoying crawlies. |

Very true. if I had done my homework before landscaping I would have never planted Queens. And while I tackled pest control everywhere else I lived but not here. Here, in my view "he who pest controls himself has a fool for a client". Critters of all kinds are just so prolific here |
