Place of origin

Cockroaches – There are 4000 species found in the world but mostly four types of species are found in India which are Blatella germanica, Periplaneta americana, and Supella longipalpa. They can enter your home through a window seal or a long open door and can create serious problems.

Reachability

Cockroaches come to your home in search of three things: food, shelter, and water. They have developed the ability to use even the smallest openings as a gateway to your home. They can come through cracks in the outer walls, dryer vents, or even in the gaps between the walls and the floor. Do a thorough evaluation of the exterior of your home and seal off any entry points you find.

Dampness

Cockroaches need moisture to survive and this discovery of water will bring them to even the cleanest homes. Leaky pipes and faucets are one of the most common attractors for cockroaches and one of the main reasons you often see them in the bathroom, kitchen and laundry room. They would hide under refrigerators and air conditioning units to indulge in their condensation, and even drink from pet water bowls when left overnight. Cockroaches love dark and unobstructed places, so you can find them often in basements, in dark corners of cabinets, and under large appliances, especially under water-using appliances.

Food source

Cockroaches are attracted by food. Despite your best efforts to keep your kitchen clean, these flexible pests will do just about anything to eat. In fact, they are known to feast on cardboard, wallpaper paste, book bindings, grease, leather, soap, and even human hair. They can often be found hidden in piles of cardboard in your attic and garage, books you’ve stored for a long time, and even behind photos hanging on walls.

Forgotten area

Cockroaches can affect places, where we do not give much attention like store rooms. cockroaches, are known to hide in the spaces between exterior doors and floors. They can enter your home through window curtains that are not flush with the frame or that do not have cracks or tears. They can also almost enter air conditioning units that don’t fit properly into windows, and into dustbins that aren’t regularly cleaned, even in your bathroom.

Landscape
