How-to Control Florida Woods Roaches
Sanitation is the primary method of control. On the outside, clean up and remove yard debris, palmetto leaves, leaf litter, old pipes and any other receptacle which could provide shelter. Remove dead trees and stumps. Stack firewood off the ground. Do not spray firewood to prevent the roach from entering. Keep mulch to a minimum around the foundation.
Potted plants and other objects which have been outside will require being checked before bringing them indoors. Firewood should be brought in just before its use.
It may be necessary to apply an appropriately labeled pesticide (Suspend SC) as a perimeter treatment; microencapsulated (Demand CS) and a wettable powder formulations (Demon WP) work best. Cockroach baits will probably be effective and should be used first. A barrier of Deltamethrin Granules can be applied that will provide good control for several months.
