What happened

Cockroaches seek food, water, and shelter, not just dirty homes, and can enter even clean apartments through small openings. Preventive measures include thorough cleaning, fixing leaks, sealing entry points, and managing vegetation near the house. Common home remedies are ineffective, so professional pest control is recommended for persistent infestations.

  • 01Cockroaches enter homes seeking food, water, and shelter, not just dirtiness.
  • 02Clean kitchen surfaces and avoid leaving food or crumbs exposed to deter them.
  • 03Fix leaks and remove standing water to eliminate water sources for cockroaches.
  • 04Seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and pipes to block entry points.
  • 05Trim vegetation and remove debris near the house to reduce shelter and access.
  • 06Home remedies like bay leaves and essential oils are ineffective; use traps or call pest control for infestations.
