Cockroaches need three things to establish a colony: food, water, and warmth. Slaughter's housing stock gives them exactly that. Housing here often sits on raised or pier foundations to manage flood risk, ranging from historic homes to newer construction. Combined with Slaughter's climate — a climate shaped by the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico, with high year-round humidity and abundant rainfall — 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.
