Cockroaches need three things to establish a colony: food, water, and warmth. Orinda's housing stock gives them exactly that. Wood-frame homes dominate the older neighborhoods, while newer construction increasingly means dense multi-unit buildings. Combined with Orinda's climate — a mild Mediterranean climate moderated by coastal fog, with cool, wet winters and dry, mild summers — indoor cockroach pressure rarely lets up on its own.
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.
