German cockroaches favor warm, humid spaces near food and water — kitchens, behind appliances, under sinks — and Swisher's a climate shaped by the Mississippi River valley, with more consistent precipitation than the drier western part of the state keeps them active most of the year. American cockroaches, larger and reddish-brown, prefer basements, drains, and utility rooms. Older brick and wood-frame homes are common throughout this region's historic manufacturing river cities.
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.
