You probably think cockroaches are disgusting. They’re known to carry pathogens that can transmit disease; they seem to sneak up on you when you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night; and they’re just not pleasant to look at. But one of the few things that may be worse than seeing cockroaches; is seeing one and knowing that more could be hiding in your home. Kitchen Appliances – Shudder at the thought of roaches hiding in the back of your microwave, fridge or oven? Unfortunately, these areas — along with countertop appliances like toasters and coffeemakers; — can be roach resorts due to the fact that the kitchen is warm; has moisture and is a great place to pick up bits of food debris. Take the time to wipe down counters after meals; clean under countertop appliances, vacuum or mop regularly; carry the trash out and keep sink drains and traps clear, and you could eliminate some major cockroach attractants.
