Question: What attracts cockroaches in your home?
Answer: Cockroaches are attracted by their need for food, moisture and a temperature-friendly environment that provides protective shelter sites in which to live and proliferate.
Some of the specific situations attracting cockroaches are:
-
Openings that lead inside
-
Cracks and crevices in dark areas of the home
-
Food crumbs, spillage or waste
-
Cockroaches don’t need much moisture to survive, but they are commonly found in damp areas such as around or near water leaks or inside drains.
