German cockroaches favor warm, humid spaces near food and water — kitchens, behind appliances, under sinks — and Denton's a continental climate where both summer heat and winter cold are taken seriously, standard for rural Kansas keeps them active most of the year. American cockroaches, larger and reddish-brown, prefer basements, drains, and utility rooms. Housing here ranges from historic farmhouses to modest town homes, with basements standard throughout for weather protection.
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.
