HELP! How do I get rid of these Palmetto Bugs?
I live in Florida and, because of the drought, all of the palmetto bugs are making their way inside MY house looking for water.
I hate this. It doesn’t matter how much I keep the house clean, the place is absolutely infested with them. I have never seen so many Palmetto Bugs in my entire life and I live in the everglades. Just about a week ago I paid someone to come in and spray the place, which seemed to work for about a day, and now a nice new city of them have infested my house–every cabinet, every drawer, all of my dishes, covered in cockroaches.
How do I get rid of them??? There has to be a way
Thanks 
Although I do know that they are indeed Palmetto bugs, they aren’t German cockroaches or water bugs. We get them all over Florida, but this summer we just have a lot more of them. It was a company that we paid to spray them but I suppose they just come back :/
that infestation description is not of the “Palmetto bug”… another common name for that type of roach is “water bug”, when I see these type of roaches in mass numbers a water leak is usually found, but normally under the crawl space which i doubt you have. Hopefully you hired a reputable company and not just a spray jockey willing to take your money from you…your description sounds more like German roaches, which would be a totally different type of treatment from the other types of roaches. Posting a picture of your pests would help get you a good answer.
