Summer is when roaches peak in numbers. The weather is ideal for them to breed and go thru their cycle fast. If a roach population isn’t drastically crashed with the first 30 days then chances are they will repopulated and hang around another 30 days. This is the time frame we use to get a roach population under control. We have about a month to get the problem almost-gone, otherwise the clock resets and we need to start all over again.

Roaches can cause health problems such as asthmatic issues. Their bodies can break down into tiny pieces causing them to become airborne, which you breathe in.
