Every night a cockroach or tow comes out. Where do they come from? They seem to like the bathroom

A natural and very effective killer is Diatomaceous Earth I use it for almost all bugs.

When I blew my engine I was in Georgia. S.E. Georgia.. I've got a few thousand if you want 'em come and get 'em.

They love heat so they like the water heater comnpartment, and they seem to love electrical fields. so any where wires run, Any where youy have a wall wart, and many other places...

I'm feeding them special Bibical water (Roaches who drink of the water I give them will never thirst again, Raid, Ortho, Spectracide) plus I've hired a professional service but so far I still got 'em.

Cockroaches are normally seen in the kitchen areas, bathrooms as well near gutters in the houses. They can be found in various other hidden places. If you are wondering how to get rid of cockroaches below are some steps you can try like Locate Where they are Coming from, Cleanliness of Place, Use of Cockroach killer/ Insecticide, or calling a Pest Controller like Exterminator New Haven County CT or Similar which one can find Online.

Go to the website domyownpestcontrol.com and read up on the different options for getting rid of roaches. They have the best selection of treatments including aerosol cans so you don't have to own a spray tank for small jobs.

My cousin owns a pest control company and he buys pesticides for his company from them. I highly recommend them.

When you're not going to use your camper for a few months, get some SunPac's. They are the little caches that people use in their sailboats and closets to eliminate or prevent mold and mildew. Place several of them in high spots throughout your trailer, with all cabinets and doors open. The Sunpacs emit formaldehyde, and it kills everything including roaches, spiders, ants, and mold and mildew. One word of caution, you do have to thoroughly air-out your trailer before you use it. We use them in Florida in our park model trailer when we close it up for the summer. I've never found a live bug when we returned.

Roaches require a regular/reliable source of water, do you have any leaks?

I just ordered a large RV accessory and it arrived from Indiana in a sealed cardboard box. It took like 3-4 days to get to the West coast. Opened the box and there was the biggest, nastiest dark brown cockroach I have ever seen! He came a long way without food or water. I had a can of insect spray close by and gave him several direct hits and he never even flinched. These things are tough! I finally did him in with a 1x4 stick. We have some insects here but nothing like this guy!

Cocroaches do live in the sewers, close the grey water valve and of course the black one should be closed also, and see if they still apear, you may already have an inferstation, that might need some profesional extermination, they are hard to eradicate.
