A cockroach infestation in Bonaire usually traces back to a specific conducive condition: a leaking pipe, a gap behind a stove, cluttered storage near food. A mix of historic homes in Savannah's and Macon's older districts and newer suburban development, many on crawl spaces given the high coastal water table. Once established, an infestation spreads unit-to-unit in multi-family buildings through shared walls and plumbing chases.
We start with an inspection to identify the species and the source — sanitation issue, moisture problem, or entry point. Treatment centers on gel bait placed in cracks, voids, and under appliances, not broadcast spraying, since German cockroaches in particular have developed resistance to many surface sprays. A follow-up visit confirms the bait is working and the population is dropping.
