Two very different roaches
German cockroaches are the small, fast breeders that infest kitchens and bathrooms and never willingly leave a building. American cockroaches — the big ones Augusta locals call palmetto bugs — mostly live outdoors and wander in through drains and door gaps. The treatment for each is completely different.
For German roaches we use professional gel baits placed in the cracks and voids where they actually live, combined with insect growth regulators that sterilize the population so it collapses rather than scatters. For American roaches, the fix is exterior perimeter treatment plus sealing the entry routes they use.
Follow-through matters
Roach jobs include a scheduled follow-up visit to re-bait and break the breeding cycle completely, plus sanitation guidance — because baits compete with food sources, a clean kitchen makes the treatment work dramatically faster.
