Cockroaches need three things to establish a colony: food, water, and warmth. Fate's housing stock gives them exactly that. A mix of established mid-century neighborhoods and rapidly expanding new suburban subdivisions, most on slab foundations over expansive clay soil. Combined with Fate's climate — a climate with real summer heat, generally mild winters, and Tornado Alley severe weather each spring — 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.
