Cockroaches need three things to establish a colony: food, water, and warmth. Avon's housing stock gives them exactly that. A mix of historic farmhouses and mid-century suburban homes, most with basements given the colder inland winters. Combined with Avon's climate — a four-season New England climate without the Sound's moderating effect, meaning colder winters than the shoreline — indoor cockroach pressure rarely lets up on its own.
Treatment starts with locating the harborage points — the tight, warm, food-adjacent spaces roaches actually live in — and applying gel bait directly there rather than spraying open floor space. This targets the colony at its source and avoids the resistance issues that plague over-the-counter sprays. We follow up to verify the population has collapsed, not just scattered.
