Why german cockroach pressure is specific to Sunshine Hills
Sunshine Hills German cockroach pressure is genuinely low because the dominant single-family detached, owner-occupied housing stock provides no continuous food-prep + warm-shelter conditions cockroaches need to establish populations. When we do see Sunshine Hills cockroach callouts, the source is almost always traceable: a returning university student bringing the issue from a Vancouver shared-housing scenario, a contractor or service worker from a heavily affected commercial site, or a used-appliance acquisition (cockroaches frequently survive in transported refrigerators, microwaves, and dishwashers). Treatment in single-family detached homes is straightforward — gel bait + IGR cycle works reliably without the multi-unit coordination complexities of Surrey's denser areas. The photo report documents the source-attribution analysis so homeowners can prevent re-introduction.
