They hide in the damp, dark spaces: the baseboards, the bathroom, the basement, the attic, and the storage boxes. The treatment covers those harborage areas.
Q: How do I keep them out?
Reduce the humidity, remove the paper clutter, and seal the gaps around the baseboards and the pipes. The treatment plus the moisture correction breaks the cycle.
