German cockroaches favor warm, humid spaces near food and water — kitchens, behind appliances, under sinks — and Mcdaniel's a humid subtropical climate moderated by the Chesapeake Bay, with hot, humid summers and mild winters keeps them active most of the year. American cockroaches, larger and reddish-brown, prefer basements, drains, and utility rooms. Wood-frame homes on crawl spaces are common here, given the high water table typical of the Eastern Shore.
Because sanitation and moisture are almost always part of the problem, our process pairs targeted gel-bait treatment with a review of what's drawing roaches in — a leak, exposed food storage, cluttered voids. Broadcast sprays just scatter a colony; bait placed at the harborage site eliminates it. A follow-up visit confirms results.
