Katherine, Richard is spot on. And if there are any steam tunnels on the property, these could be highways by which roaches spread from the source of the problem to other buildings.

I’m curious because we’re finding these cockroaches in spaces that are nowhere near drains or plumbing. Are they responding to the humid conditions we’ve been experiencing in western Massachusetts over the last few months, or is there perhaps a larger issue we’re dealing with? Thanks for your time and input.
