Where are the cockroaches hiding?
Here are some of the most common hiding spots for cockroaches.
Furniture
Cockroaches can find their way into the crevices of your chairs and couches. These dark and tiny areas offer them crumbs of bread, chips, and popcorn to feast on as well as are warm enough from them to lay eggs. Therefore, you must never buy any kind of old furniture without checking them for eggs. You should also vacuum your furniture regularly to avoid any cockroach infestation.
Cabinets
Cabinets too serve cockroaches the same way furniture does and provides a great place to feast on crumbs of food. Therefore, you must pack all of your food in airtight containers and clean these cabinets on a regular basis so they don't get there.
Appliances
Your kitchen appliances always have traces of food left on them and those are the places that cockroaches turn into their home. They eat and defecate in these areas, infecting the appliances you cook most of your food in. You must clean these appliances daily if you want to stop cockroaches from attacking your kitchen.
Ceiling
Since cockroaches can enter through the littlest cracks in your home, the ceiling becomes the most habitable place for them. We rarely look up there and almost always forget to seal it well. The cockroaches end up infecting our entire home through there and run away into the holes as soon as we turn on the lights. This way, we never get to know about their presence until it's too late. Thus, when sealing the cracks in your home, remember to do so for the ceiling as well.
Pipes
Pipes provide an easy, dark and moist area for cockroaches to travel and reach the different rooms in your home. The molding and algae in the pipes that haven't been cleaned for a while providing the perfect breeding and eating ground for them. Therefore, always make sure that the pipes in your home are well insulated and have zero leakage to avoid any cockroaches entering them.
You must seal and clean every corner of your that can be infected by a cockroach.
