Percy Gradowski says
When pesticides are the sole or predominant method of pest control, resistance is commonly managed through pesticide rotation. This involves switching among pesticide classes with different modes of action to delay or mitigate pest resistance.

Sorry to hear that Darlene!
Pesticide resistance is likely a problem, especially if they are German roaches. Your pest control professional should have left you a receipt indicating products used at each treatment. Sounds like he needs to switch things up to get control. PLus there are things you can do to help with sanitation and sealing. Sanitation means making sure there are no other food sources for roaches to choose from. You can find a sanitation and maintenance checklist to help YOU control roaches in the second paragraph at https://responsiblepestcontrol.net/guaranteed-german-roach-pest-control-az/ .
