Not Every Cockroach Problem Is the Same
Seeing a roach in the kitchen does not necessarily mean the infestation started in the kitchen.
Different cockroaches behave differently.
Some are strongly associated with indoor kitchens and food-preparation areas. Others thrive outdoors and may enter from attics, garages, sewers, trees, landscaping, or areas around the exterior of the home.
South Louisiana provides plenty of what roaches need:
- Warm temperatures
- Moisture and humidity
- Organic material
- Dense vegetation
- Plumbing and drainage systems
- Protected spaces around structures
- Easy access through small gaps and openings
That is why identification matters.
Treating every roach problem the same way can result in temporary improvement without solving the reason roaches continue to appear.
Dave’s & Kevin’s has served Lafayette-area homeowners since 1962 and brings that local experience to every inspection.

How We Handle Cockroach Problems
Determine What Kind of Roach You Have
Identification gives us important information about where the infestation may be originating and what conditions are supporting it.
Inspect High-Risk Areas
Kitchens, bathrooms, utility areas, cabinets, garages, plumbing penetrations, exterior walls, attics, and other protected locations may all deserve attention depending on the situation.
Address Active Areas
Treatment is directed toward the places where roaches are harboring, traveling, feeding, or entering the structure.
Reduce Food, Water and Harborage
Leaks, food residue, clutter, pet food, grease, cardboard, and inaccessible hiding areas can all make control more difficult.
We help identify the conditions that matter most.
Build Ongoing Protection
Roaches are among the pests specifically addressed within Dave’s & Kevin’s recurring residential pest programs, including American roaches.

Why Cockroaches Are So Persistent in South Louisiana
Roaches are exceptionally good at finding places to survive.
A gap around a pipe, moisture beneath a sink, cardboard stored in a garage, a warm appliance cavity, or damp organic material outside may be enough to give them what they need.
And because Lafayette stays warm and humid for much of the year, cockroach problems are not limited to a short summer season.
One of the most important questions is whether the roaches are primarily living inside or entering from outside.
A few large roaches occasionally appearing after heavy rain can require a very different strategy from a population reproducing inside kitchen cabinets.
Our technicians look at the pattern of activity instead of treating the sighting as an isolated event.
That helps us determine where control efforts should be concentrated and what the homeowner can do to help prevent the next problem.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cockroach Control
Why do roaches keep appearing even though my house is clean?
Cleanliness helps, but roaches also enter homes for water, shelter, warmth, and protection. Exterior populations, plumbing, landscaping, neighboring environments, and structural openings can all contribute.
Are the large roaches I see the same as small kitchen roaches?
Not necessarily. Different roach species have different habits, which is one reason identification is important before deciding how to treat the problem.
Why do I see more roaches after heavy rain?
Changes in moisture and environmental conditions can push outdoor insects toward structures and protected areas.
Where should I look for signs of a cockroach infestation?
Check beneath sinks, inside cabinet corners, around appliances, plumbing penetrations, bathrooms, utility areas, garages, and other dark protected locations.
Will spraying the roach I see solve the problem?
Killing one visible insect does not tell you whether additional roaches are hiding elsewhere or entering through another part of the property.
Does regular pest control cover cockroaches?
Dave’s and Kevin’s recurring residential program specifically lists American roaches among covered household pests.
