The roach type decides the treatment. German cockroaches are small, tan and live indoors, usually in kitchens and bathrooms near warmth and water. They often arrive in grocery boxes, appliances or used furniture and breed fast, so a few become hundreds within weeks. American and Oriental cockroaches are larger and live outside in water meter boxes, sewer cleanouts and damp mulch, then come in through drains, garage doors and gaps around pipes. Turkestan cockroaches are now common in Sacramento-area yards and behave the same way.
German roaches are treated with gel bait in cabinet hinges, behind appliances and under sinks, plus a growth regulator that stops them from breeding. Spraying alone tends to scatter them into walls. Outdoor roaches are treated around the outside of the house: the foundation, irrigation boxes, mulch beds and drain lines, with door sweeps and sealed gaps to keep them out.
Red flags: roaches seen in daylight, dark pepper-like droppings in drawers, egg cases behind the fridge or a musty smell under the sink. Between visits, fix drips, store food in sealed bins, take recycling out often and keep mulch a few inches back from the walls in Granite Bay's dry summers when roaches seek water.
