The roaches otherwise known as Plametto bugs are not like the roaches we are familiar with up North. The palmettos are attracted to light sources and fly fast into open doors ( garage or other).
They do not congregate or create nests in the home like Northern roach. The kind you have to watch out for are German and Japanese that do infest. They are the ones that hide in light outlets and under things. They are the ones who run at the flip of the light turning on. Bug guys will have to saturate mist spray in the found location to remove infestation . Most bad roaches stay near food or water sources ,kitchen is usually most infested.Plain old Palmetto occasionally come into your home or lanai if you open doors a lot. Keeping plants and bushes away from entries helps prevent harboring bugs.
Your best bet against any creepy crawlies is to get your bug guy in place upon moving in. Vacant places tend to have bugs because no one notices them until light and movement.
