My 1st house I saw maybe 1-2 palmetto bugs over a 21 month period (no treatment). My 2nd house was a courtyard villa and had many palmetto bugs in the garage and several got in the house after I moved in. I treated the garage with an insect spray and my home also which seemed to help. One night one crawled up the wall next to my bed. That was it! I read about how to control them and the article suggested "boric acid" which is a white powder specifically for that. I went to Walmart and the worker there told me it is the #1 seller in that aisle! I believed it. I sprinkled it behind all my furniture and in closets and garage, problem solved. After my 6 month trip north I would come back to maybe 1 dead bug, maybe not. My third home which is a bigger court yard villa I have seen only 1 since 2018. I treat myself successfully. You can do it!
