How Do I Know If I Have Cockroaches in My Home?

Cockroaches don’t like extreme heat or cold. They prefer dark, quiet places to live and reproduce. If you have noticed cockroaches in your home, you should clean thoroughly. But if you don’t know how to clean thoroughly, you should call a professional pest control company.

When you move into a new house, you should check the area for roaches. They can be found in newly built homes with previous occupants. In addition, moving trucks are a cockroach magnet. Moving truck companies do not often inspect their shipments for pests and may leave cockroaches behind. They can also hide in paneling and cracks.

If you find any cockroaches, be sure to remove the source of their food. Cockroaches love rotting, old food. They can live in small cracks in kitchen cabinets and under kitchen sinks. You can also spot them in other places in your house.

Cockroaches may also come into your home through holes or cracks in the foundation. Some species of cockroaches can also get into your home through used clothing or furniture. Other types can get in your house via pipes and drain pipes. Infested neighbors can also bring them into your home.
