Cockroaches need three things to establish a colony: food, water, and warmth. Overton's housing stock gives them exactly that. A dense mix of stucco tract homes on concrete slabs, ranging from 1990s-2000s construction to newer builds on the valley's expanding edge. Combined with Overton's climate — a desert climate defined by extreme summer heat and very low humidity, with a short, mild winter — indoor cockroach pressure rarely lets up on its own.
Treatment starts with locating the harborage points — the tight, warm, food-adjacent spaces roaches actually live in — and applying gel bait directly there rather than spraying open floor space. This targets the colony at its source and avoids the resistance issues that plague over-the-counter sprays. We follow up to verify the population has collapsed, not just scattered.
