Cockroaches need three things to establish a colony: food, water, and warmth. Newberry's housing stock gives them exactly that. Housing spans historic river-town homes to newer suburban development throughout North Florida. Combined with Newberry's climate — a hot, humid summer climate with winters mild enough that a hard freeze is still possible. — 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.
