Mistakes to avoid with cockroaches
Cockroaches around Hilton Village follow the way the house is built, and the door threshold is one of the first places checked.
- Spraying repellent near bait, which makes roaches avoid the bait our technician placed.
- Setting off foggers or bug bombs, which tend to scatter roaches deeper into the walls.
- Expecting results in a day. A heavy German cockroach infestation usually takes several visits to clear.
- Leaving dishes, pet food and crumbs out overnight while a treatment is under way.
- Treating only the room where you see them. Roaches seen in the open usually mean a larger population hidden nearby.
Cockroaches in Newport News apartments and houses
Two groups call for different plans. German cockroaches live indoors, in kitchens and bathrooms, and spread through shared walls and plumbing in apartment buildings and duplexes.
American cockroaches, the big reddish ones, live in storm drains, crawl spaces and warm garages, and come in on humid nights.
Newport News has plenty of both housing types.
Complexes near Oyster Point and along Jefferson Avenue are built with shared utility chases, and a problem in one unit often means the units on either side should be checked.
What helps the visit
- A photo of the insect, or a dead one in a sealed bag.
- Which room and which cabinet, and at what time of night you see them.
- Leaky traps, dripping pipes and stored cardboard in the area.
- Whether neighbors have the same trouble.
For American cockroaches the work is partly outdoors: sealing the gap under a garage door, clearing leaf litter from a drain and checking the crawl-space vents.
Indoor baiting alone will not stop insects that live in the storm sewer.
Renters should tell the landlord or manager at the same time, since a building-wide plan needs everyone's agreement.
