If you call these things cockroaches, you probably moved here.
If you call these things waterbugs, you were probably born here.
That's a generalization, but it's based on years of experience.
However, water bug or "waterbug" is just a nickname, and technically these are American cockroaches, a much bigger variety than the German cockroaches. The Americans don't multiply nearly as quickly as the Germans, so to find this many in a dry storage room means that there is a serious infestation going on.
These sticky boards are a great tool to monitor your areas to see if you have a problem, and they also do a lot to help keep the bugs from making a public appearance upstairs in your dining room.
To eliminate them, various products such as dusts, gel baits, granular baits, and liquids and aerosols. If there are cracks and crevices then exclusion should be performed.
Will we ever eliminate these giant cockroaches from NYC. No, we never will.
What's that on the wall behind you?
Ew York City will return on Monday, August 11th.
