Where Do Cockroaches Like to Hide in Santa Fe Homes?

Nighttime insects and cockroaches prefer dark, damp, and warm environments for hiding. The following are some typical locations where you might look for them in Santa Fe homes and buildings:

• Roaches will congregate in damp environments, such as bathrooms. They will eat anything from soap scum and toilet paper to skin flakes and hair if given the opportunity.
• In the kitchen, they hang out in warm, dark places like the crevices of cabinets, behind plumbing, and under appliances like the sink, dishwasher, stove, and refrigerator. They may feel most comfortable in a dark, warm place, which can be created by even very tiny home appliances like microwaves, coffee makers, toasters, and blenders.
• Roaches are commonly found in laundry rooms, under sinks, behind pipes that go into the wall, and behind washers and dryers because of the warmth these appliances emit.
• If you suspect a bug problem, start by searching the basement for cracks in the floor, corners, and baseboards. Inspect any storage or recycling areas for signs of infestation, as they are partial to cardboard and paper.
  
  

Drains: If you live in a warmer region, inspect your home for broken pipes, drains, or other potential ports of entry. They feed on waste. Therefore, anything in the garbage disposal could be used as a meal.
