We just moved into a new place in late December 2017 and have been dealing with two breeds of roaches; german and brown banded roaches. Our place used to be a rental property and previous tenants were filthy. Unfortunately, our current neighbours are also messy - they turned their open space carport into a dumpster where they dump all their furniture into. Of course when it rains, everything including sofa, mattresses, fridge and bookshelves in their carport get wet and this creates a perfect environment for pests. We have had the house sprayed (once indoor and twice outdoor). I have used 3 different types of roach bait since the exterminators treated our place; Maxforce, Advion and Invict. I think the german roaches have been controlled since I don't see them around in kitchen anymore. We have also replaced our sink because they were nesting underneath. The problem we now have is brown banded roaches and as they are not as reliant on humidity or water as german roaches, they are in other rooms around the house. Moreover, they don't seem to be as interested in these commercial grade baits (they just dodge the baits). I see 1 or 2 dead ones near or in the door track every morning and I am assuming that they try to come inside from outside and die after crossing the area that has been sprayed. Does anyone know what I can do in order to eradicate them from the exterior of the building? I am not sure if there's anything else pest control companies can do besides spraying the surface. I want these roaches to die outside not inside.... I know I can't do much about our neighbours apart from patiently waiting for them to move out. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
