Cockroaches need three things to establish a colony: food, water, and warmth. Lambert's housing stock gives them exactly that. Housing here is a mix of older farmhouses and small-town ranch homes, with crawl-space foundations especially vulnerable to Delta humidity. Combined with Lambert's climate — a humid subtropical climate with hot, muggy summers, mild winters, and high year-round humidity typical of the Mississippi Delta — indoor cockroach pressure rarely lets up on its own.
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.
