The cockroach species most commonly called a palmetto bug are the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) or the Florida woods cockroach (Eurycotis floridana)."

As for pest control, after paying a ridiculous amount of money to 3 different companies with no appreciable results, we took over the job ourselves. There are consumer products with the same ingredients as commercial companies use.

I'm not saying the historic side has more roaches, but since manufactured homes aren't on a foundation, there are more ways for them to get inside. I would guess that most of us here keep ready access to Raid, fly swatters, bait boxes, gel, etc.

Can you tell me what product you use and where you get it? Thanks.
