Peridomestic roach control methods

Also check your weather seals and screens, trim vegetation back from the foundation and siding, and make sure outdoor plumbing fixtures are in good repair.

Unless you are seeing large numbers you can generally just treat them the way you would any outdoor bug.

You have misidentified an insect, rodent, or have given ineffective control information.
