How to Keep Cockroaches Out of Your Kitchen

Seal food, clean crumbs and grease, dry sinks overnight, and repair leaks to remove food and water that attract cockroaches. Close entry gaps; seek targeted professional treatment if they persist.

Store dry food in sealed containers, wipe up crumbs and grease, and take rubbish out regularly. At night, dry the sink and counters where possible, and repair dripping taps or pipes that leave a steady source of water.

Check gaps around pipes, cabinets and doors, and seal openings where pests may enter. If cockroaches keep appearing, a professional can identify likely harbourage areas and recommend targeted treatment. Always follow product labels and keep children and pets away from treated areas as directed.
