American Cockroach Elimination

In winter these cockroaches may move indoors, seeking warmer temperatures and food. Cockroaches may enter houses via sewer connections, under doors, around utility pipes, air ducts, or other openings in the foundation. Cockroach populations in basements can be reduced by decreasing dampness and applying insecticides in cracks and crevices where there is evidence of cockroach activity (presence of egg cases, dead cockroaches, brown fecal smears).
Use Delta Dust in cracks and crevices; spray exterior of structure and selected indoor areas with Suspend SC or Demon WP.  Use the same procedures as you would when eliminating Smokybrown roach infestations.

Some people prefer to bait with Maxforce Roach Baits indoors and spray the exterior surfaces of their homes with Suspend SC or Cypermethrin.  This method works well if insecticide is not sprayed in the same areas where roach bait is used.

For help in controlling these pests, go to Large Roach Elimination.
