🧪 Why You Shouldn’t Rely on Store-Bought Sprays Alone
Consumer sprays like Raid or Ortho Home Defense may offer temporary relief, but they rarely eliminate infestations—especially German cockroaches. Only licensed products, when applied professionally, disrupt colonies and prevent re-emergence.
For proper application of any licensed spray in Canada, contact PestLine Pest Control—they serve Oakville, Mississauga, and the GTA.
