Small roaches turning up near the back door, the patio slider or a basement window, especially in warm months? Mediterranean spotted roaches live outside in plants and leaf litter and wander in from the yard. Silver Bullet Pest Control identifies the species, treats the exterior perimeter and voids, seals the gaps they use, and follows up to confirm the activity is under control.

Clark is a Union County township of mostly single-family homes with lawns, shrubs, mulch beds and garden borders right up against the foundation. That is where Mediterranean spotted roaches live. Here are three common situations.
Mediterranean spotted roaches spread around exterior vegetation and leaf litter, then wander inside. Because they come from outside, we treat the perimeter and plantings, not just the kitchen.
Sealing entry points is a big part of controlling an outdoor roach. We treat cracks, crevices and voids where they travel and close the openings they use to get in.
Not every roach in Clark is a Mediterranean spotted roach. Oriental roaches like damp basements, and German roaches breed indoors all year. Identifying the species decides whether the focus is outside or inside.
The treatment depends on the species, so we identify it first and use sticky traps to see where activity is coming from.
| Roach | Where it lives | How it gets in | Treatment focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mediterranean spotted roach | Outdoors in vegetation and leaf litter | Wanders in from the yard | Exterior perimeter, voids and sealing entry points |
| German roach | Indoors all year in kitchens and bathrooms | Carried in on boxes, bags and appliances | Gel baits and IGR rotation, crack-and-crevice, sanitation |
| Oriental roach | Damp basements, crawl spaces, drains | Foundation gaps, under doors, drains | Basement and drain areas, moisture, sealing |
| American roach | Sewers, boiler rooms, damp basements | Up drains and around pipes | Drains, pipe gaps and void treatments |
Skip the bug bombs. Foggers don't reach the voids and plantings where these roaches hide, and with German roaches they can scatter them deeper into the walls.

Peak activity. Warm nights bring the most roaches to doors, sliders and windows.
Activity tapers off as nights get cooler. A good time to seal gaps before next season.
