Why Roaches Stick Around

Main reasons why roaches remain in your home…

Food Access

Even the smallest crumbs, grease residue, or pet food can sustain roaches. They’re scavengers and aren’t picky about what they eat.

Water Sources

Roaches can’t survive without moisture. Leaks under sinks, wet towels, or pet water bowls can keep them hydrated & coming back.

Shelter

Clutter, cardboard boxes, & tiny cracks provide perfect hiding and nesting places. Roaches prefer dark, undisturbed areas where they can reproduce safely.

What It Takes to Get Rid of Roaches

If you want roaches to go away permanently it requires a deliberate approach…

• Deep Clean Regularly – Keep food sealed, clean up crumbs, and wipe down surfaces.

• Eliminate Moisture – Fix leaks, use a dehumidifier, and avoid standing water.

• Seal Entry Points – Close gaps around doors, windows, and plumbing.

• Use Baits & Traps – Gel baits, sticky traps, and insect growth regulators can be effective.

• Hire a Professional – For larger infestations, pest control services offer the most reliable and long-term results.

Can Roaches Ever Be Gone for Good?

Yes with consistent effort, roaches can be eliminated and kept away. If conditions that attract them return, so can the roaches. That’s why ongoing prevention is just as important as extermination.
