Check first to see if floor drain traps have evaporated and are now
dry....if so just fill them with water. This happens when the drains are not
used on a regular basis.
Someone down the line could have been doing work on the sewer lines and
drove them up to your site as well.

Subject: [pestlist] ? about cockroaches
Dear List -
My head of security has come to us with an issue. Apparently, they are being
overrun with giant cockroaches (water bugs) in the basement and apparently it
is starting to creep up to the first floor. There is no construction going on,
and the café kitchen has apparently never been cleaner. Thoughts as to what a
sudden influx of these pests might be indicating? Thanks in advance.
