Where They Like to Live
During the cold winter months, roaches are in search of warmth, food, and water, and have the uncanny ability to find these needs in more places than you could imagine. Now although we all know that roaches love the trash, they are looking for a place to stay warm and produce offspring, which brings up the fact that for every one you see, there are likely more hiding out somewhere close by. Here are just a few spots around the home that cockroaches like to spend their time.- Areas of the home that have leaks are a very likely spot for a roach hideout. Moist areas especially around the kitchen and bathroom, are going to be a hotspot for roach activity.
- Nesting in piles of old garbage, clothing, and boxes is another favourite of theirs, as well as old books, piles of papers, grocery bags, and just about anything that likes to clutter and create a mess around the house, basement, or attic.
- In and around your kitchen appliances, anywhere they may be leftover food scraps nearby. Nesting in and behind the refrigerator and deep freeze, and similarly in your oven and under your stove.
