Cockroaches in the Kitchen — What to Check First

A kitchen can provide cockroaches with food, water and hiding places. If you find an insect, identify it and inspect the surroundings so that the response fits the actual problem.

Check the sink and water sources

Inspect pipes beneath the sink for leaks. Removing sources of moisture is an important part of control. Do not dismantle plumbing or equipment unless you can do so safely.

Check appliances and food debris

Look for accumulated crumbs and waste near the cooker, refrigerator and cupboards. Follow appliance-care instructions when cleaning. Store food in closed containers, use a covered rubbish bin and empty it promptly.

Look for gaps and entry routes

Openings around pipes, wall joints and items brought indoors are possible routes. Cleanliness matters, but it does not by itself prevent insects from appearing. Read why cockroaches can appear even in a clean apartment.

What can monitoring tell you?

Record where and when insects appear and take a photograph. Sticky monitoring devices can help assess activity, although they do not resolve every infestation on their own. Place them according to instructions and away from children and pets.

When should you arrange treatment?

Contact a specialist if insects appear repeatedly, you find egg cases or activity affects several areas. Disinfectants and ordinary floor-cleaning products do not replace targeted cockroach control.
