Cockroaches can use available food, water and shelter. If they appear in an apartment, a leaking fixture, uncovered food or a sheltered gap is worth reporting and checking alongside the sighting.

About Swan Lake
The Tulsa Preservation Commission documents historic apartment buildings in Swan Lake and names Swan Lake Park in its property history. For an apartment resident, the first question after a pest sighting is where it was seen and whether a water or food source is accessible nearby.
Woodward Park appears in the district’s property history. Around a home or apartment building, empty containers and clear gutters that hold standing water after rain.
02 / What to look for
Around the property
Apartment residents may need building management involved to arrange access and repairs. Record the location of activity and ask how inspection, leak repair and follow-up will be coordinated.
Mosquitoes can breed in standing water held by containers and clogged gutters. Empty or maintain what is under your control, and report a gutter that needs building-level attention.
03 / Take action
Practical steps
- Report cockroach sightings to management, including the room and location where they appeared.
- Store food securely, clean residue and report plumbing leaks so food and water sources can be addressed.
- Ask what the inspection will cover and how repairs and follow-up will be coordinated; do not rely on sprays alone.
- Empty water from outdoor containers and ask management to clear gutters that retain water.
