Cockroaches need three things to establish a colony: food, water, and warmth. Levasy's housing stock gives them exactly that. A blend of mid-century suburban homes and current new-home construction pushing outward from Kansas City. Combined with Levasy's climate — a humid climate with hot summers and winters cold enough for sustained snow cover — 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.
