My neighbor Earl told me to skip the fall spray, and my kitchen proved him wrong by Thanksgiving

Earl has lived off Boulevard Drive in Decatur for 30 years and swears the cold knocks everything out by October, so I skipped my usual fall treatment and saved the $85. Two weeks later I was killing ants on the counter every morning and something was scratching in the wall behind the stove. Turns out roaches and mice don't care about a light frost, they just move closer to the heat. Anyone else got a neighbor with advice that sounds solid but falls apart by November?
