Cockroaches need three things to establish a colony: food, water, and warmth. Sheboygan Falls's housing stock gives them exactly that. Wood-frame farmhouses and lake-country cabins dominate, nearly all built with basements for winter protection. Combined with Sheboygan Falls's climate — a climate shaped by both farmland and forest, with genuine cold winters throughout the year — 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.
