Cockroaches excel at the game of hide and seek. When cockroaches first find a way into our homes, they make quick work of finding dark cracks and crevices to hide in during the day. At night they emerge to forage for food.

Knowing where cockroaches like to hide is important so we can regularly inspect those areas and eliminate these pests as quickly as possible. Places roaches hide include:

• Electrical outlets
• Wall voids
• The backs of cabinets and drawers
• Within pieces of upholstered furniture
• Boxes and other storage containers
• Spaces under refrigerators or stoves

Cockroaches have been around for eons; their adaptability and resourcefulness have allowed them to survive the test of time. If your home offers them what they need (moisture, warmth, and food), they will find a way inside.

American cockroaches usually move indoors from our outdoor spaces through spaces under exterior doors, torn screens, vents, drains, and openings they find around pipes and other utilities entering your home.

German cockroaches live their lives inside our structures. In multi-unit buildings, they move from unit to unit through cracks in walls, vents, or gaps under doors. However, the most common way these pests move from place to place is by hitchhiking. They crawl into boxes, appliances, pieces of furniture, and other personal items and are transported wherever we take them.

Cockroaches are unwanted in our homes because of the dangers they bring with them.

Cockroaches live in unsanitary places; they spend their days crawling through garbage, sewers, drains, and other organic matter. Their bodies and legs come into contact with pathogens and bacteria that cause gastrointestinal problems and other illnesses. Cockroaches are also well-known for spreading allergens through their feces and shed skins that can trigger asthma attacks.

When cockroaches get into our homes, we need to worry about more than just the health risks they pose. They also contaminate food, stain surfaces with their excrement, and chew holes in things like clothing, upholstered furniture, and papers.
