Indeed, during the day, they hide in corners, cracks, or behind appliances. At night, they come out to feed on small food debris. Additionally, adult cockroaches disperse by slipping under doors or using ventilation ducts, plumbing, and garbage chutes. They are particularly attracted to moisture and grease build-ups on the stove, refrigerator, or walls.

Prevention: eliminate sources of food and moisture

To prevent a cockroach infestation, make sure to eliminate all sources of food by keeping the premises clean. Additionally, perform regular sweeping and thorough cleaning of surfaces. Moreover, store all food in airtight containers to avoid attracting them. Repair water leaks and properly ventilate the damp areas of your home. Furthermore, be vigilant with cartons and boxes coming from outside, such as soda crates or grocery packaging, as cockroaches can hide in them and enter your home.

The risks of self-treatment and the necessity of professional intervention
