SWFL - ID and Treatment
Well, I had a ton of amazon boxes pile up over the course of a week doing some minor home projects, and I unfortunately let the cardboard sit in the kitchen for about a week before moving everything to the garage. Next day after finally getting all the boxes broken down and into the recycling bin, I found about 2 adults, and 8 nymphs all mysteriously dead in my garage by my hot water heater. Also, two empty oothica. They appeared literally overnight. I had looked the day before for unrelated reasons, and there was nothing there. I immediately called HomeTeam Pest Defense, who I pay for anyway to come out.
Please help me rate their treatment:
Whole house (minus one bedroom)'s baseboards were sprayed with Phantom
Baited Sticky Traps placed in all rooms
IGRs under all sinks, and near the garage hot water heater where roaches were first discovered.
I was still counting my lucky stars that I hadn't seen them in the main house, but that all changed during spring cleaning when I found 4 dead roaches behind the fridge about two weeks after HT sprayed. Then it became, "at least I haven't found a live one yet." And tonight (3 weeks after HT) around sunset, outside on the patio, while I'm grilling up some burgers, the nymph in the image above shows up. I had to shine a flashlight on the nymph to get the picture, and he did not scatter or run.
Having been majorly infested in an apartment complex from a long time ago, this is something we're seriously dreading. How serious is this? How is hometeam's treatment plan?
Could really use some reassurance or advice if it's serious. I literally tripled my housing expenses and bought a house because I was sick of dealing with roaches from apartment complexes. Also, screw Amazon. This is not the first time in my life they've mailed me a live German roach, but this is by far the most serious.
Edit: Forgot to mention sticky traps haven't pulled anything yet. The bait on them has been disturbed, according to HomeTeam, but they haven't caught anything. HomeTeam has said that these traps aren't perfect, and some roaches can get away.
