Really? NYC has gotten warmer and wetter, but not dramatically (yet) -- I have noticed Lasius emarginatus doing well-- I never see Lasius Americanus, or neoniger anymore.

But I really think it's spraying since some blocks have life and others are dead.

Ironically people spray to kill roaches, and the spray is least effective against roaches, it kills everything else much more easily.

Then the roaches are the first to repopulate.

Great job! Now you have Only Roaches.

Every environment has a "bug biomass load" that load could be a diverse collection of species or it could be all American Roaches. It's up to you!

If you use general poisons you are killing the ants, the isopods, the beetles, the flies, the spiders, the centipedes.

Most spray poisons aren't targeted. They have to be extra strong to kill the poison adapted Roach.

Baits are better, not ideal.

A basement w/ spiders, centipedes & ants will not be a welcome place for roaches.
