Here are the five top reasons why they are feasting at your home.

Excess moisture

This is the lesser known fact about this pest in general, cockroaches need moisture to survive. Dripping shower doors or windows in general are some of the most common things which attract this creature inside residential homes. If you have a source of excess moisture at your home, make sure to set up the place quickly.

Dirty dishes

Roaches are in your home for two reasons, they’re either seeking shelter or they want food. Dirty dishes in the sink or anywhere in your home which have leftover food on them, are exactly what cockroaches are looking for to feast on.

Trash

Garbage is the biggest source of food for pests, so be sure to take your garbage consistently out and dispose of it more frequently. Also, make sure to keep your garbage sealed so there are no access points for them to enter inside of it.

Leftover crumbs on kitchen slab

Leaving crumbs on your kitchen floor or counters is another source of food that cockroaches will be attracted to. This means wiping down your counters and sweeping the floor more often is the best option, you can also use disinfectant to clean the counter when you notice crumbs.

Food on floor

We often overlook this but the leftover food of pets or small babies is another major attraction for roaches. If you have a pet that leaves food incomplete around for later, you may want to get a seal able bowl. Which not only retains the food but also will not allow the roaches to linger in the house for long.
