Do all rooms have to be baited if neighbor just started getting German Roaches in the kitchen?

A neighbor just got German Roaches on her apartment kitchen. Since bait traps attract roaches, is it necessary to bait her entire house or just the kitchen area? The apartment has already been thoroughly cleaned and a professional exterminator has come. There are a few late comers in 2 areas only at the refrigerator and sink areas. Glue traps have been everywhere throughout the apartment. There are no other signs.

    The roaches can crawl up the pipes under the sinks, under baseboards, around electric outlets and openings of the connections of the washer and dishwasher.

    Combat bait and gel will kill German roaches. The German roaches are immune to sprays and most baits.

    Placing out bait would be good in case some come from the other apartment. Some other apartments might have them too and they go from apartment to apartment.

    Source(s): Combat took care of the German roaches we had. An exterminator said the Combat is a lot like the bait he uses.
