September is when I start hearing from more homeowners about roaches around Southwestern Ontario.
Most of the time, it starts with one showing up late at night near the kitchen sink or stove. Then another one appears a few days later, usually around the same area.
Roaches are good at staying out of sight, so the ones you see aren't always the whole problem. They tend to hide behind appliances, underneath cabinets, and around plumbing where they have easy access to food, moisture, and warmth.
If you're seeing them repeatedly, especially at night, it's worth paying attention rather than waiting to see if they disappear on their own.
I recently handled a roach problem here in Southwestern Ontario that started with a few sightings around the kitchen.
I wrote about what we found and how we handled it in this month's journal.
