Managing Roaches in Urban Settings

I’ve noticed a significant uptick in cockroach sightings across several neighborhoods lately. It’s fascinating how seasonal changes can impact pest behavior, but it also raises concerns for residents. Implementing an integrated pest management approach can really help; has anyone found specific tactics that work best for urban settings?

Urban settings can be tricky, but I’ve found that sealing entry points really helps. Even tiny cracks can let roaches in, so checking places like pipes and vents is crucial. Have you tried using diatomaceous earth in those areas?
