Kilnline Pest Co. · Brickyard Flats, Slagtown & Ferrous Hill · Multifamily is the whole business
The roaches were here first. Not anymore.
Kilnline clears German cockroaches out of rowhouses, walk-ups and unit turns for a living: gel bait the workers carry back to the harborage, a growth regulator so the nymphs never breed, monitors counted at day 14 — and the kick-plate and pipe-chase voids they live in, sealed. Two visits is the median, the invoice names every product and placement, and tenants are back inside in 45 minutes.

Services
The four programs
01
German cockroach blitz — $285, two visits
Visit one: gel placements in the kick-plates, the fridge motor and the pipe chases, a growth regulator in the harborage zones, sticky monitors down in the kitchen and bath. Visit two at day 14: monitors counted, the file closed or extended at no charge. The bait matrix is chosen per unit — glucose-averse colonies get the fructose-free gel, and we know which buildings those are.
02
Unit turn protocol — $95 / unit
The between-tenant clean-out: roach gel and monitors, drain flies at the sink overflow, a wasp check at the dryer vent, and a rodent sweep of the voids before the new lease is signed. Photographed, itemized, and filed where your inspector can read it.
03
Bed bug heat remediation — $1.05 / sq ft
The unit is brought to 130°F and held three hours, sensors in the mattress box, the headboard and every outlet plate. One day, no residue, every stage from egg to adult — and the adjoining-unit inspection is included, because bed bugs travel party walls.
04
Stairwell & basement rodent program — $210 / building
Snap-trap-out over two weeks — never poison in the wall, where they die and announce it — then the exclusion: sweeps on every basement door, copper mesh in the pipe penetrations, screens on the dryer vents. Dropping counts before and after, both in the report.
Straight rates, no contract
Three ways to hire the truck

Why landlords keep the file
Built for the flats
A rowhouse wall is a shared wall, and a roach colony does not read leases. Kilnline keeps a building map — which units border which voids, which colonies have gone glucose-averse, which pipe chases have been sealed — so the fourteenth visit to an address is not the first. Every file is transferable to the next owner and every invoice is written to survive an inspection.
The 60-day unit warranty
Live German cockroaches inside 60 days of a cleared monitor count and the follow-up is free — gel, regulator, labor, all of it. One condition, printed on the invoice: the kick-plates and pipe-chase seals we installed stay installed. The warranty follows the voids, not the tenant.

From the case files
Six files from last season, photographed on the day the monitor count hit zero. Rowhouses tell on themselves — these are the tells.
How a blitz runs
The fourteen days
Count
Monitors down and a specimen to the scope before any product is chosen. Glucose-averse or not changes the gel; American versus German changes the whole placement map.
Place
Gel in the voids, growth regulator at the harborage, nothing broadcast. Tenants stay home — re-entry is 45 minutes after the gel sets.
Seal
The kick-plates, the pipe chases, the gap behind the fridge: sealed the same visit. A sealed void is a unit the next colony cannot rent.
Prove
Day 14: monitors counted against day zero, the graph stapled to the invoice, and the file closed or extended — the count decides, not the calendar.
Three years of "someone should call somebody" and one month of Kilnline. Gel in the kick-plates, a regulator I never saw, and a graph on the invoice showing the monitors flatline by day 12. The neighbors hired them the week after ours cleared.
I manage forty units in the Flats and the building file is the smartest money in the budget. Turns are inspected before the new tenant signs, the stairwell program keeps the basement boring, and when a bed bug turned up in 3C the adjoining units were checked the same afternoon.
The tech found the colony behind the fridge motor in ten minutes, explained the glucose-averse thing — apparently our roaches had evolved around the cheap gel — and used the other one. Fourteen days later the counters were clean at 2 a.m. with the lights off. That is the real test and it passed.
Before you call
Questions from both sides of the lease
The five that come up on every first call — from tenants and landlords both. The dispatch line at the bottom of the page runs seven to six, flats-wide.
Do tenants have to leave during treatment?
No. The work is placement, not fog — gel inside voids and a regulator at the harborage, nowhere a person touches. Re-entry to treated rooms is 45 minutes after the gel sets. Kitchen surfaces get a wipe-down before anyone cooks, and the aquarium gets covered with the pump off — both are on the prep sheet we send ahead.
Is the gel safe around kids and pets?
The placements are inside kick-plates, pipe chases and wall voids — fractions of a gram, in locations a toddler cannot reach and a dog cannot smell. Every product is named on the invoice with its safety data sheet attached, and if a pediatrician or a vet asks, the answer is one email away. We have never had an exposure and intend to keep the streak.
Why did the last company’s spray not work?
Two reasons, usually. Sprayed repellent product drives roaches deeper into the wall and kills only the ones that walked through it; and the Flats colonies are largely glucose-averse, which means the sugar-based baits of a decade ago read as food coloring to them. The matrix we run carries the fructose-free gel for exactly those buildings.
What does the heat treatment prep look like?
A checklist: aerosols and candles out, electronics unplugged, mattresses stood up, closet doors open. The unit runs at 130°F for three hours with sensors in the outlets and the mattress box — bed bugs die at every stage by 118°F, and we hold a margin. You are out for the day; the adjoining units get an inspection while the heaters run.
What voids the warranty?
One thing: removing the seals we installed — a kick-plate left off, a pipe-chase gap reopened by a contractor. The 60 days follow the voids, because the voids are the condominium the colony lives in. Re-infestation from a neighboring untreated unit does not void it; it extends it, free, until the wall is quiet.
