German cockroaches favor warm, humid spaces near food and water — kitchens, behind appliances, under sinks — and Weesatche's a humid subtropical climate with intense summer heat and humidity, heavy rainfall, and a real hurricane season keeps them active most of the year. American cockroaches, larger and reddish-brown, prefer basements, drains, and utility rooms. Slab construction is standard here, built for heat and flood risk rather than winter cold.
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.
