Cockroach Control in British Columbia
You flick on the kitchen light at midnight and see a small tan cockroach freeze on the counter before darting behind the stove. If you saw one, there are dozens hiding in the cracks you cannot see.
German cockroaches are exclusively indoor pests in BC. A single female produces 30 to 40 eggs every few weeks. Spraying actually makes problems worse by scattering cockroaches without killing the colony. Professional gel bait programs work because cockroaches eat the bait and carry it back to the harbourage, spreading through grooming and cannibalism.
