If there’s one creature that no homeowner in the Greater Puget Sound area wants to deal with in their homes, it’s a cockroach. These pesky bugs give people the heebie-jeebies for good reason—they’re fast, resilient, and just plain gross.
But what is it about certain homes that seem to roll out the red carpet for them? What attracts roaches, and why are they more fond of certain homes? Knowing what lures them in is key to preventing them from creeping into your home and making themselves comfortable.
And if you already have a roach problem, don’t panic—Zunex is here to help get rid of them safely and efficiently.
Roaches don’t randomly pick your house out of a hat—they come inside with a mission.
And that mission typically revolves around three things they need to survive: food, water, and shelter. Your home might be unknowingly supplying all three.
Roaches have big appetites, and they’re not picky eaters. Crumbs on the floor, grease on the stove, or an open bag of chips left out overnight—it’s all like a buffet for these critters. Even things you wouldn’t consider “food,” like cardboard boxes or pet food, can attract them.
Once a roach finds a reliable food source inside your home, they won’t hesitate to set up shop and call in their friends.
If food is the entree, then water is the drink that seals the deal for roaches. These bugs thrive in damp conditions, so if you have leaky pipes, dripping faucets, or even a wet dish rag left on the counter, you’re sending them an open invitation. Bathrooms, kitchens, and basements are some of their favorite hangouts.
Roaches are excellent at hiding and prefer dark, warm spaces where they feel safe. Cluttered corners, piles of newspapers, or even cracks in your walls can quickly become their new home.
The clutter not only provides physical shelter but also makes it harder for you to spot them right away. The longer they have to settle in, the bigger the problem becomes.
You might think a single roach is no big deal, but it’s rarely just “one roach.” These pests are quick to multiply, and before you know it, you could have a full-blown infestation.
Ignoring roaches doesn’t just lead to sleepless nights. It can also put your health and home at risk.
Roaches aren’t just creepy—they’re carriers of bacteria and pathogens. They can spread germs like salmonella and E. coli, leading to illnesses in your household.
Plus, their droppings and shed skin can trigger allergies and asthma, especially in children and elderly family members.
From chewing through food packages to damaging books and furniture, roaches can wreak havoc on your home. They’re not just unsightly pests—they leave costly destruction in their wake.
When it comes to roach infestations, taking action sooner rather than later is hugely important.
