Comment on How do I beat the roaches in this house?

There’s a food source somewhere. Assuming they’re not getting food from your kitchen (you’re not finding them in the pantry), there must be something else nearby. What’s around? Anything you can get rid of? Old cardboard boxes? Dead plants/yard waste? Pet food?
How old is the house? Does it have wallpaper? If you are unlucky they might be eating wallpaper glue or something like that. Also have you made sure there isn’t a sewage leak under the house?

House is only 8 years old. But yeah, they’re getting food somewhere, and it doesn’t take much.

Depends. If you’re in a tropical area they could just be part of the local wildlife.

Aye, this is my case. Come the warm weather and it’s cockroaches everywhere. I’ve written above I’ve had some luck with poison, seems to be killing the closer nests and Ive had a lot fewer since.
