3. They Have a Hidden Place to Live
Cockroaches prefer dark, warm, quiet places.
Common hiding spots include:
- Behind refrigerators
- Under sinks
- Inside cabinets
- Around water heaters
- Behind appliances
- Inside cracks and wall voids
If you see one during the day, it may indicate there are many more hiding nearby.
4. Small Cracks Are Letting Them Inside
Cockroaches can squeeze through incredibly small openings around:
- Doors
- Windows
- Utility pipes
- Foundation cracks
- Vents
Sealing these entry points can help prevent new infestations.
